Where to start with this one?

Having the authorities take noise pollution and the associated noise complaints seriously would be a good start. (No, I'm not suggesting that the shooter is not at fault.)

I found this article:

The shooter's job had to do with trash pickup but the article does not say precisely what his role was. I'm guessing that given his 4:00am wakeup time he was working out in the field (rather than behind a desk, managing the pickups). He also had already gotten the police involved in a noise complaint against the people he killed but the article is not clear about when that happened and what the police did or did not do. The comments to the article though indicate that noise complaints are handled as unevenly in France as in their are the US.

I think people are making terrible music choices.

It was probably French Rap. Ugh.

In this country the police will come and make them shut up.
No need to kill

I actually like French rap. C'est cool.

Even music that would normally be pleasant becomes an assault once its volume has been increased enough and once it has been filtered through walls (with all the high frequencies gone).

That's not been my experience in this country, or abroad for that matter. Between responding to a noise complaint and just about anything else, the "anything else" wins. So the police does not come, or they some so much later (hours) that the noise is over. Or they come and tell them to turn down their music, which works for all of 10 minutes. I've been lucky that for most of my life I've lived in areas that were quiet or when I ended up in a situation where the police was needed but proved useless I had the resources to mitigate the situation until I could free myself from it.

Between this and the story in Miami, I think it's safe to say that music enrages people to the point of murder.

Music and bath salts. With those, I could raise an army.
