Clink on the song title links to hear the actual songs.

“Sleep deprivation has been condemned as torture or at a minimum cruel, inhuman degrading treatment,”

---

So true - when the person is forced to listen. These people can leave.

[ClearCase_guy]

If the homeless people don’t like it, they can leave.

Or is that racist?

[Junk Silver]

As long as they aren’t playing Taylor Swift songs I don’t believe it can be considered torture under U.N. and Geneva standards.

[vikingd00d]

It could be worse.. they could be playing the Hamster Dance.

[BlackAdderess]

Oh my, that right there is the set for a low budget horror film with the sound track already built in!

[Howie66]

Real torture would be looping anything by either Joni Mitchell or James Taylor.

[VastRWCon]

“Who took the cookie from the cookie jar...”

Try getting that out of your head after listening to it a few times.

[GOPJ]

The homeless can ‘move on’, use some of their drug money to rent a room, or buy headphones. The “Homeless Industry” is wrong here - the outdoors is NOT a prison... if the bums don’t like the music - they have options.

I made it about three seconds into the first verse of Baby Shark, before i had to (QUICKLY!!) shut it off.
If that song is play over and over, I expect to hear about shots fired at the speakers.

[BlackAdderess]

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...

[[Florida City Uses Music To Deter Homeless — Advocates Call It Torture ]]

Riiiiight, but the homeless disease infected crap laying in the streets, in doorways, dirty needles, disease laden rats everywhere, rotting foul food everywhere, isn’t torture on everyone else- oh heck no- only those who object to filth and disease in the streets and crap and piss in front of businesses can be capable of torture

[OttawaFreeper]

The little shopping centre in the suburb I grew up in began doing that years ago (playing classical music on the loudspeakers) to stop teens from making it a hangout.

[NorthMountain]

ROFL!!! Those two songs, played ad infinitum, could drive even the most stable personality to stark raving madness.

[lee martell]

If you can hear past the Alvin & Chipmunks type falsetto,
“It’s Rainin’ Tacos!” isn’t all that bad. In fact it made me hungry.

[null and void]

How many of these homeless advocates have taken in even one homeless person?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I isn’t torture when the subjects/targets can independently decide to NOT sleep there.
Abu Ghraib? Not so much.

[OttawaFreeper]

How about selections from this classic?

[FatherofFive]

The libs should provide sound cancelling headphones.

[CommerceComet]

Most of these homeless people know that if a person loads up on enough opioids, they can sleep through anything.

[PghBaldy]

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.
