Authorities in West Palm Beach, Florida are using childrens music to deter the homeless from setting up camp in a city-owned park.
West Palm Beach Lake Pavilion is a city-owned park and event venue frequently used by the homeless as a place to sleep. City officials are now playing the childrens songs Baby Shark and Raining Tacos in the park to annoy homeless campers, preventing them from sleeping, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Legally morally ethically and even fiscally, any way you look at it, this [music] is not the right approach to this [homelessness] problem, said Eric Tars, legal director at National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty told The Daily Caller.
Sleep deprivation has been condemned as torture or at a minimum cruel, inhuman degrading treatment, continued Tars. It was condemned when they were playing loud rock music in Guantanamo or in Abu Ghraib to disrupt the detainees sleep patterns, and now were doing it to citizens, he added.

I isn’t torture when the subjects/targets can independently decide to NOT sleep there.
Abu Ghraib? Not so much.
The libs should provide sound cancelling headphones.
Most of these homeless people know that if a person loads up on enough opioids, they can sleep through anything.
I wish all the homeless in these cities were directed to the front lawns of liberal politicians!
I thought orture for me is music by Minnie Ripperton or the songs “Nashville Cats” or “Afternoon Delight” or “Rockin Robin,” but these songs would drive me loco.
We lived near a gas station and convenience store that blasted “elevator music” to deter the bums and skater punks from hanging around. It was actually quite effective.
Obviously this grifter makes good money pushing straw man arguments otherwise hed be in some other racket.
Innercity thugs have been forcing people to listen to earsplitting, window-rattling vulgar rap for decades.
Enacting a neighborhood charter that forbids loud music is “racist.”
Asking them to shut it down can get you shot.
My way was to fight fire with fire.
If they could do it, so could I— and at the exact same time.
Soon as some a-hole cranked up C-Murder, I’d set my speakers on my windowsill & let ‘er rip.
Beethoven’s Ninth at 120 decibels for about 10 minutes.
Truce.
Or the scampi song.
Or the Llama song.
The question I have is why are there so many homeless people? There have always been some, but public pooping etc is a pretty recent thing, and now its spreading, seems like via train, like in the past 5-6 years. The public parks are where these folks are ending up.
... Its a Small World after all..................
I hate you
Now I have that stupid song in my head
Yikes! How did you even know about that song? We have a winner!
We represent the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild...
I’m sorry I hurt your FEELINGS.......WO-WO-WO FEEELINGS!......TRYING TO FORGET FEEELINGS....................
