WARNING: Do Not F*ck with Old Iron Maiden Fans

A couple of weeks ago, I implicitly advocated blasting your metal really, really loudly to get back at irritating neighbors.

Now that I know it’s a potentially illegal offense, I’d like to explicitly advocate it.

The Local reports that a seventy-one-year-old woman and her eighty-one-year-old husband recently retaliated against a neighbor who was allegedly responsible for a “whistling noise” that was keeping them awake at night by blasting Iron Maiden’s “Afraid to Shoot Strangers” at said neighbor’s abode. The police found not one but TWO separate music systems in two separate parts of the elderly couple’s home aimed at the neighbor’s home. The neighbor, who only recently moved in, subsequently said police: “I am completely broken down. How can I keep living here?”

Y’know, usually I think we should put old people on icebergs and send them out to sea to die, the way the Eskimos do, but these senior citizens sound pretty awesome. I mean, if my neighbors blasted Maiden all day, I’d bake cookies for them, not call the cops.
