As we reported last week, Georgetown residents should have been ready for some rude awakenings over the weekend — and rude awakenings they received.

The Post reported on the gathering of activists who took to the streets of Georgetown on Saturday and Sunday morning to make a point — loudly — about the D.C. Council’s recent inaction on a bill that would place limitations on the use of amplification during demonstrations in residential neighborhoods. Led by anti-noise crusader and Ward 6 resident David Klavitter, the demonstration, meant to target Council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), who had motioned to table the bill, was by all accounts exactly what the activists warned it would be — well amplified and wholly annoying:

The decibels reached yesterday — recorded in the 90s by Klavitter’s noise meter — left Evans’s neighbors ticked.

“I just want to shoot them,” said Sarah Donze, 21, a George Washington University student.

She paused, then added, “With a tranquilizer.”

Evans wasn’t much swayed by the noise, defiantly defending the right of demonstrators to express their opinions, volume de damned. Just going by what some neighbors said, though, and the Fox 5 report on the ruckus, a few more weekends of this and Evans’ neighbors might well start begging the Council member to slap his name on the legislation, or moving to Montgomery County — where this type of stuff is illegal.
