Court Dismisses Fifth Lawsuit Against Sheriff's Office Over Playing Christmas Music in Jails

• <p>As long as the music is played at a respectable volume, I am not concerned with Arpaio's playing of Christmas music at the jails.</p> <p>However, I am really peeved that he is so disingenuous about why he is playing the music. On the news I actually heard him suggest that he was doing it for the benefit of the prisoners. You know, just spreading a little Christmas cheer. As Congressman Joe Wilson once remarked, "YOU LIE!" Sheriff, you are doing it to punish the prisoners and to force upon them your own musical tastes and values---WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.</p> <p>How many lawsuits about the Christmas music does it take before Joe will admit that his forced regimen of Christmas music at the jails is not an act of thoughtfulness on the part of the MSCO (if there is such a thing).<br /> </p>

• <p>I hear the sixth and final lawsuit has been dismissed. </p> <p>It's a jail. If they don't like the music, don't come back.</p> <p>You're all a bunch of limp wrists. </p>

• <p>Sounds to me like the same torture methods the CIA in their secret dark prisons overseas, used on prisoners. They blasted the same songs on its prisoners 24/7 until their minds collasped into mental oblivion. Hence--mentally murdered.</p> <p>I don't know how one can withstand listening to X-mas carols 12 hrs a day. Its kinda torturous in a sense that one might lose his mind. If this is arpaio's goal, then he's not doing anything worthwhile regarding the limiting of criminal behavior in inmates, instead, he's driving them mad where upon their release, they transformed into psychopathetic criminals.</p> <p>~GENO</p>

• <p>I'm so glad that Joe is using songs - that were written to honor me - as punishment in his gulags. He's a true Christian. When I meet him at the Pearly Gates, he will be standing to my left... right over the trap door to hell.</p>

• <p>I can see how twelve hours of listening to Christmas music could be considered torture. And to do it 12/7, that just might drive some folks away from criminal behavior... nah, I was having a moment... sorry folks.</p> <p>Did you hear that the MCSO sheriff has a framed picture of Big Dave wearing nothing but hot red Speedos in his office? </p> <p>I don't know if that's true...</p> <p>I once saw a beached whale...</p> <p>I think I prefer the sight of the beached whale, honestly.</p>
