Bass in Yer Face, David Franczyk

Franczyk: loud music = you are probably a criminal

Buffalo’s Great Villain: Boomin’ Bass

Buffalo Common Council president David Franczyk introduced a plan at yesterday’s Council meeting to ban loud car stereos in the city of Buffalo.

Franczyk’s ridiculous and unconstitutional plan - which apes a new law in Sarasota, Florida - hopes to not only ticket and potentially give jail time to drivers playing music deemed too loud but actually aims to make owning sound systems capable of higher dBs illegal!

In an interview today with WBEN radio today Franczyk was heard spouting some lovely racial profile-speak when he cited that loud car stereos are part of  “gangster” lifestyle and that most users of such are probably already involved in criminal activities.

It’s great that in a city with dramatic poverty, failing schools and certainly much bigger crime to chase that the Common Council is really hitting at the hard “quality of life” issues and with a barely-veiled racist tenor.

In Franczyk’s honor, I promise to blast Boogie Down Production’s 1989 classic “Who Protects Us From You?” when I am riding the streets of the Queen City later today… and I do have a subwoofer in my trunk.

  1. This is both hilarious and disappointing… guess I’m leading a “gangster lifestyle” ‘coz my ride is capable of around 140dB… its a shame I have the common sense & courtesy to keep it down in residential areas, because they won’t be able to catch me for the other criminal activities I’m probably also involved in!

    Geez

  2. David Franczyk probably gave his speech wearing jack boots. He is scapegoating in the most obvious way. I guess he is living the “totalitarian” life style. He should resign and make it possible for a qualified person to serve on the council.

    David Franczyk could then dedicate his time to burning books and threatening journalists, artists, and intellectuals.

    PS: why isn’t David Franczyk pictured in his favorite brown shirt?
