    Anyone ever see this guy in the Skyline District? I seem him nearly every day in a new suit, yelling obscenities at the Walk/Don't Walk signs. He'll scream at one so loud you can hear him two blocks away, then walk across the street to yell at another.

    I understand being clean cut and dapper when downtown, and of course I get it when the crazies are yelling at inanimate objects--but combined in one man?

    Who is this man?

    I only got close enough to hear him once. Definitely heard the words "government" and "motherf--kers".

    He dresses better than me, and I have a job. Though maybe he has a job and this is how he blows off steam.

    "Damn O'Hurley, busting my hump over these reports. Ima yell at signs."

    I'll jump in here with a 'crazy guy around Houston story' -- well actually Spring -- but anyway anyone ever see the guy with the giant cross walking down 1969?

    They had a story about him on the news years ago. He walks hundreds of miles across the state. Can't find him on Google--I'm sure there's something out there.

    Haha, yes I have seen this guy.

    One person explained to me that he hates the Walk/ Don't Walk signs because he thinks they are racist. When the sign flashes "walk", it shows an outline of a person in white- kind of like this

    http://www.mysteryphotos.com/mphotos3/z0000780.jpg

    The outline later turns brown or orange when time is running out, so he thinks the sign is letting the white people walk first.

    I also saw him berating another dude once. Instead of walking away, the other dude just stood there, and the homeless guy berated him for like 5 minutes.

    I've seen this guy too. You say he is well dressed and crazy? He told me he goes by 'Patrick Bateman'. Take it for what it's worth.

    There is this black guy with dreads at my gym who is always wearing this shirt, which says things like "THE FBI IS SPYING ON YOU" , "YOU MUST PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST THE LAW", "WE KILLED 3,000", "AMERICA- THE LAND OF THE UNJUST" etc...all on the same shirt on front and back.

    I've never spoken to him, but he seems like a normal guy though. But he wears the same shirt every time.

    Did you know 2/3 of homeless people are schizophrenic? I've always wondered if it was because the stress of being homeless makes them go crazy, or if the fact that they are crazy leads them to being homeless? :confused:

    In the late 80's there was a guy in the Sharpstown area that would walk with a big cross. Could it be the same guy??
