Activists say ‘Barney & Friends’ theme song playing on repeat at vacant San Pedro property for weeks is anti-homeless harassment

The theme song from “Barney & Friends” has been blaring 24 hours a day for weeks on Palos Verdes Street in San Pedro.

There are about two dozen homeless individuals who have pitched tents on the sidewalk there, and they say the blaring kids’ music is a not-so-subtle way to get them to move.

“It’s psychological,” said Danielle Nunez of Street Watch LA, a mutual aid organization that helps the homeless. “It is to keep people up. They can’t have a quiet space and it’s playing at nighttime so that people literally cannot sleep.”

The vacant property is run by Jerico Development, Inc., and is used for filming.

“It’s hard,” said Reynalda Guterrez, who sleeps in a tent on Palos Verdes Street. “I mean, you hear Barney all day long, over and over and over again. With the lights blaring on you, you can’t get no sleep at night … You can’t talk to anybody.”

The music reaches 70 decibels at times, and is paired with bright flood lights.

“First the lights went on. They did that a few nights at first,” said Danel Love. “Then the music came on and it was loud … it’s traumatizing.”

Today’s homeless are mostly there by choice. Drug addicts, alcoholics, mental cases, etc. They get free food, free medical care, free needles, free walking around money. They are parasites, petty criminals, deviants, the scum of society.
—————————-
Almost 78 million lost their jobs last year has definitely led to an increase in homelessness. Corporate landlords are ignoring the eviction bans and evicting anyways.

So I was the scum of society when I was basically homeless Mid-April to Mid-July after being illegally evicted? Even most AirBNBs jacked up their prices 3 to 4x, ($1600 to $2400 for the same room that was $600 per month per-Covid) and most month-term hotels/ motels were full.

No friends to crash at and no shelters available (they used 2019 income as a qualifier for any and all benefits, so I qualified for nothing.

Eff off scumbag.

What’s “traumatizing” is having scumbags trespassing on your property, being unable to get the authorities to do anything about it! THEN... the trespassers start making demands about conditions. This is so screwed up on so many levels. Why does anyone able to move stay in california?

Alternating with water sprinklers is very effective.

Didn’t they rip off “Yankee Doodle” for the opening theme and “This Old Man” for the end song?

I just got the worst ear worm after hearing that song. Had to clean it out with some Amon Amarth.

Play Taylor Swift “music”, that is a hell of a lot more torturous than any Barney stuff. Play “Shake it off” which my neighbors kid use to play seemingly 24 hours a day. It was like listening to a weight watchers commercial from hell

70 decibel music is soft, not loud

Loved Barney and Friends while my two oldest were in that age group. All the Libs and Elitists and Celebs hated Barney,lmao. My two oldest kids loved that show and I enjoyed it too.

Reminds me of the feds repeatedly playing “These Boots are Made for Walking” at Waco.

close.

Movie “Frozen” and Van Halen.

I got the idea for the latter from an old episode of “Drew Carey.”
