NEWS: All You Need is 911

CULTURE: All You Need is 911

Here's an idea: Next time you hear a domestic dispute that involves two people yelling about how they're going to kill each other, call 911. Some might think this sounds obvious, but the neighbors of Julie Ann Bayne-McGaffick chose a different tactic when they heard a heated argument coming from her apartment: They blasted The Beatles' tune, "All You Need is Love."

Good thinking, except, um--Julie Ann's body was later found floating in the Sacramento River. Oops.

Hope she was a Beatles fan, at least.

WTF?

wow....errr.

Oh, hippies. Dear, sweet, stupid hippies.

Probably made it easier to bludgeon her to death without causing alarm with that loud music blasting. Thanks, hippie neighbors!

yeah i called the cops on my former neighbors once. they sounded like they had passed the point of just yelling and moved into violence. the cops arrived pretty quickly, but the couple upstairs refused to answer the door. the genius cop then decides to knock on MY door asking ME questions about the incident. so much for anonymity.

listening to that song alone is enough to cause fatal brain trauma. case solved; let the man go!

fucking hippies.

All you need it blunt force trauma to the head. Perhaps if they had blasted some Converge or the like instead, the wife would have had the adrenaline to defend herself. Her aging-hippy beatles neighbors are responsible for her death. Bastages.
Everyone around here gets along pretty well, 'cept for the one neighbor's ex wife, who is a total scumbag bitch, and she ALWAYS has the cops helping her leave....yet she still has weekend custody of the kids...what the fuck is up with that?

Unfortunate story( shows how stupid some people can be( to play music when you hear a heated argument which at any point could become violent))...Would have been more interesting if the murderer (Robert Carlos, at the moment of hearing the music) had ran out of the apartment screaming and jumped out of a window landed in a trash can and ran down the streets with a pair of panties on his head while screaming "Bigfoot caused 9/11"...LOL...

...what?

It was an attempt at humor; I was simply stating that it would have been better if at the moment of hearing the song, he stopped all that he was doing and went nuts...

Calling 911 would result in blue meanies arriving!!

That was the most depressing story I've heard in a while.

I thought this story would be about Guliani's presidential bid.

Duuuuuude. I'm totally paranoid about neighbors fighting. Whenever I hear raised voices, I've got my ear up to the wall - not eavesdropping, but listening if I need to call the cops. Clearly, these folks were not quite neurotic enough.

Okay, that was teh funny.

sometimes it makes me miss the country, sometimes it makes me happy that my parents made me bathe, wear shoes and learn to read.

Look at the positive here, at least they didnt blast Yoko Ono....

It could have been worse.... much, much worse.

All You Need Is To Not Get Beat To Death With A Blunt Object

(Damn, Oroville is like an hour away from here)

more like bore-oville. shit.

+1

people just don't relate to the beatles like they used to, haha. i guess people these days need more than just love. but yeah, that's kind of fucked up.

HEY-O!

It happened in my home town. So proud.

But yeah, I'm guessing this wasn't the first argument the neighbors had to listen to.
