One responder wrote: “I like this revenge. Great story OP.”

Another reader writes, “Well, in a university city, nobody really cares about students having a party. If your neighbor starts blasting music today, I’d imagine there is very little you can do.”

A different person states: “If they were law students, I’d have hoped they’d lost any chance at their career. People died because of Covid, so any punishment short of losing your career is too light for me.”
