City hopes ‘Baby Shark’ song will drive homeless away
Miami Herald ^ | July 17, 2019

. Officials in West Palm Beach are hoping a continuous loop of children's songs played throughout the night will keep homeless people from sleeping on the patio of a city-owned rental banquet facility.

West Palm Beach parks and recreation director Leah Rockwell tells the Palm Beach Post they're trying to discourage people from sleeping outside the glass-walled Waterfront Lake Pavilion, which she says rakes in some $240,000 annually from events.

The loop of "Baby Shark" and "Raining Tacos" is a temporary fix to keep homeless people off the patio. Rockwell says the city wants to formalize hours for the facility, which should make trespassing laws easier to enforce.

“Lovin’ You” by Minnie Ripperton was the song which finally broke former Panama dictator Noriega.

Wrong song choice. “It’s a small world” better choice. Disney was actually sued when the ride broke and this song played to some poor riders for over an hour.

Trying to address a symptom by forcing the problem on someone else, not solving it. Involuntary commitment and treatment for the mentally ill and chemically dependent. Temporary housing/shelter and job training & placement for others. Not an option: allowing the homeless to live, eat, urinate, defecate, masturbate, get high, infect or be infected, and create mountains of trash on the street.

Come on Democrats. Where you at? These people are trying to deprive the homeless from a place to sleep! The homeless can vote as well as illegal aliens can!

[“It’s a Small World” better choice.]

I got on that ride, back around 1989 or so.

At first, I though, “Oh, cool, now it another language”.

After 20 minutes or so, (seemed like 45 minutes) I was ready to toss softballs ...

I was broken, man. Broken......

The song had also been used in a “Moonlighting” episode, rather hilariously.

You could simply drop “another” and you would be better off, and not have to leave your homeland.

Government should not be running businesses, sorry
