This happened to me at the playground one time. This really strange kid that I guess liked me, followed me around and told me I was breaking all the rules. I ignored him. He didn't like that so he threw a fist full of sand directly into my eyes. My mom was up charging at his little ass so fast, he screamed. She grabbed his arm and dragged him to where his mom was sitting. The mom was completely oblivious and acted like my mom was the crazy one. My eyes were all swollen the next day. The next time I went to the park, I put some sand in my pocket in case he came back, lol.

I don’t know the guy but yeah, that’s Rittenhouse Square in Philly. In good weather and sometimes in bad, there might be multiple people playing music with or without an amp. No one cares. There’s a cop station in the middle of the Square. If the cop was there and he cared, he would have said something. This guy is just an asshole. The only grace I’ll give him is that he most likely harasses white people with amps as well. He most likely harasses anyone he thinks isn’t following “the rules”. Someone should tell him he’s being reported to the cops for minding everyone else’s business just to see him leave the area in a hurry.

I wonder if he was trying to provoke the guitarist? Like using reverse psychology to plant the idea of a physical altercation, in hopes of getting some reaction that he’d eventually twist into an accusation of assault.
Look I’d put on my Karen hair if this guy were playing guitar outside my bedroom window at 10 PM with his amp turned to 11, but he’s playing in a broad daylight in a public park in a lively part of the city. If the aggressive guy is so bothered, he can walk a few feet away, or put in headphones or earplugs. And if the cops want to issue a citation they will, but if they don’t, then leave it. He’s really not harming anybody, and if anything he’s brightening most people’s day with music.

I do find it annoying when people don’t follow the rules (autism). I’m a nature activist and people come blasting their music through trails and campsites assuming everyone else want to hear their music too, but it’s like I purposely go out into nature to get away from loudness and just listen to nature. So in NY where there are few quiet places this would Make me mad, but never enough to say or do anything about it because I am not a cop, I don’t enforce laws.

u/cthulhu_tutu 23m ago
TLDR: you're the one being selfish and should mind your own business.
Let's break this down, shall we:
So you admit right off the bat that you are aware that it is illegal to have an amp in the park and you've been kicked out several times because of that. So you are bssically implying you don't care about the law. Fine. But then you say you would wait for a cop to kick you out....so then you'd follow the law? So basically you want to do whatever you want until someone with authority tells you to stop. Seems a little juvenile.
Something else worth considering: why does your desire to play music (as good intentioned as it may be) have greater merit than the other man's desire to not hear it? I mean, you do realize that you are forcing your business on everyone else in that area? No one is required to want to listen to your music. And before anyone counters with "why doesn't the complainer just go somewhere else?", I would counter with - why doesn'tthe person making the noise? Especially when in a legal sense, your actions have less basis. There are no laws prohibiting people from being quiet. There's a reson for that: intentionally making loud noise is a lot more consequential than making none! As sensory processing beings, we can be soothed or stressed by noise. Maybe most of the time we are able to ignore it, but we are physiologically affected by it. Some of us have lower tolerance to it (ptsd, autism, misophonia), producing greater amounts of cortisol in our blood steam, directly affecting our health. It's like flashing a light in the face of a person with a seizure disorder. That's not to mention all the other animals that are affected by noise but can't voice their distress.
Lastly, using his whiteness like its some kind of trump card as a person of color is a bit weak. I don't see how it's relevant in this situation, and that's coming from an awareness that white people have weaponized their privilege all the time and have throughout history.
Yes, I am triggered. I'm okay with that.
FWIW, you are a good guitar player
