guy in powderhouse

[jd-science.livejournal.com]

does anyone know anything about the guy who hangs out in powderhouse circle, talking to passersby and yelling a lot? i think his name might be mike. i can rarely understand him - sometimes he's aggressive and nice, sometimes he's aggressive and scary. he seems fairly harmless, but i wonder where he sleeps and how he eats, and generally what his story is.

I call him The Bellower, and my feeling is the character shouldn't be walking around outside unsupervised.

It comes as an unpleasant jolt to say the least each time this large man appears charging directly toward me out of nowhere in full bellow mode.

I've learned to walk fast and ignore. I feel sorry for the people who make the mistake of stopping.

I've never heard what he's saying but others have made out "kill me" or "I'm going to die."

I've also been followed for short distances.

It's nothing I can't shrug off myself, but I feel like it impacts the neighborhood as a whole. For instance who wants to spend a nice Spring day in the park by Powderhouse if The Bellower is hanging around there.

I can't quite be bothered to get up in arms. but if say, I had kids, I'm pretty sure I'd be doing everything I can think of to get the guy off the street and back into the hands of the halfway house, or whoever is supposed to be in charge of him.

Agreed. I don't understand why he's not getting more supervision. Someone is obviously making sure he has clean clothes, but that's about it. He seems to be left to his own devices from morning til late night every day.
