All you have to do is call the "The Respect Task Force." Yes the respect task force is there to help you, to help them, and to "reintroduce" your anti-social compatriot and his kin to the ways of public reverence. It's rehab for the anti-social.
I bet you're thinking this is happening in the Saudi kingdom or Iran. It's not, it's taking place in the UK. A quick peruse of the website gives you tips on how to spot those who just aren't up to snuff and how to "fix" them. There's a nifty little handbook to help you identify the disrespectful and how to go about turning them in assisting to foster a respectful member of society. Yes, you too can be a snitch facilitate respectful behavior on your street, block and development. Just send those undesirables off to "respect camp" so they can be taught the rules of a civil community.
I really thought this was a joke when I heard it this morning. Once I discovered the website and found out it was true, I wondered how close are we to 1939?

I heard a story of a fundie Church in Ohio refusing to turn down their sound speakers after residents complained that the noise was disturbing. How rude!

I heard about the story you referenced, Jacob. I believe the decibel level was over the required law limit.
In Michigan, just outside of Dearborn, a mosque broadcast the call to prayer 5 times a day throughout the city. The minority complained to police and the city and this too was just under the decibel limit.
All I can say to those who object, on both sides, is move.
Fences make great neighbors. Well,in all actuality, as far as neighbors go, I'm lucky--I have pleasant and rational neighbors. They'd probably attend "respect camp" voluntarily.
Certainly, respect has become a lost art. Still, this is really something.
Here's a peek inside MY neighborhood. You won't believe this.
