They should also stock up on "Beautiful Music" Recordings and also recordings of songs played in reverse as that might also drive them away or drive them crazy.


ah, the "7-11" solution to the problem of loitering. i have quite a collection of "7-11" music that i find to be relaxing and stimulating.


I have three Henry Mancini LPs, one Henry Mancini Stereo 8 Cart, and a Burt Bacharach Stereo 8 Cart.

i have the A-bomb of 7-11 music, it is an old LP of the "portsmith symphonia plays the classics" where various classical warhorses are simply butchered, as though the players were all drunk and bandaged.

The officer should get a commendation for his action. Everyone loves ice cream, and even the sound of a ice cream truck would calm people down.

Even though I don't eat ice cream...

Ethics aside, it was a good tactic, but it seems like one of those things that would only work once. Once another one tries it, let's just say there aren't enough Klondike Bars that would keep the peace.
