How do you get the homeless to move away from a park or a public place without resorting to force? Officials in West Palm Beach may have just found the solution:
The extremely popular – and extremely repetitive – children's song can be heard playing on loop all night long around the pavilion, The Palm Beach Post reports. In addition to "Baby Shark," the city is also playing another children's hit, "Raining Tacos."
It won't be raining tacos for the people who sleep around the pavilion — unless they can withstand this potent musical deterrent. The tactic is reminiscent of the blaring music once used by American interrogators to torment prisoners in the war on terror in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.

Instead of harassing the homeless, we need to help them. We need more affordable housing and affordable treatment for drug addiction and mental illness. Not all homeless people are junkies or winos - many are good people who just made some bad decisions or had a run of bad luck. Whatever happened to compassion?
