Man Arrested For Playing Darth Vader’s Theme Music At National Guard Troops Scores Settlement (www.techdirt.com)

Some readers might look at this headline and think there’s something off about it. And I’ll grant you that. There are several ways music can be played: to, for, not at all. Sometimes though, the only way to describe the playing of music is “at.”

One of Trump’s many vindictive “surges” targeting cities and states run by Democratic party members occurred in Washington DC. Not content to flood the streets with tons of federal officers, the administration decided these forces needed backup from the National Guard. Of course, Trump claimed the crime problem in DC was so bad it could only be dealt with by a surge that blended choice bits from “police state” and “martial law” into an unpalatable whole.

DC residents were less than thrilled. One resident — Sam O’Hara — made his displeasure known by doing the thing in the headline: playing music at National Guard troops.

I would have played something ominous like this Song of Saya OST or at least this one. I know, should be more focused on the arrest, but good music is always important.

Though, it would be a waste of an amazing soundtrack to tie to the creeps, I wouldn't wanna tie the Code Lyoko Xana theme to them because Xana is a real threat compared ti a bunch of people who will roll over to whoever is in charge.
