Nice fieldwork John! In the morning…
The guy was walking past me when it dawned on me that I had the little cam. “Gold!” I thought to myself and chased him down.
I love how he named off 3 different groups. but there all the same.
John….that is a crystal clear video. What camera did you use?
For someone that is considered a “geek,” JCD must be a bad mother…or he has an entourage to protect him from these nutballs. Most people just keep walking, but Mr. Dvorak interviews them. Funny video!
Hey. That guy makes a lot of sense. I ain’t riding my bike no more.
SCOOP!!!! Way to go John!!! I bet FOX or CNN have no idea that this is happening!
More tea bag style ranting.
He does look a lot like Alfie’s sister though, if she shaved.
Gold. Pure gold!
The great thing is that in SF a guy like this is not even considered crazy. “Street corner bloggers” like this have been there ever since I first went to SF in 1958, or so. I am sure they have been there much longer.
OMG! terrorists made a duck boat crash? I remember taking scenic tours of the Wisconsin River in the WWII era “ducks” as a kid.
Makes me personally humble to note this free range street loon is better spoken than myself.
Ha, Ha.
He seems like a nice polite guy; a gentleman from the old school. As to his political affiliations, I would not care to guess. Most people in SF aren’t conservative and he only shared his concerns about one topic.
I second TruthBeTold’s request.
The video was very good except a bit dark. I also wonder what camera was used.
Every bit as coherent as the mainstream news agencies when they attempt to disseminate disinformation, err, “inform” the public regarding Middle East alliances.
Dammit, why can’t we have people like this here in San Diego! Grrh…all we have are tons of those fake pan-handlers on every corner with not so funny signs.
This guy along with Frank Chu could politically turn this country around! (and around, and around, and…)
John, are you look for TechGrouch material?
Was that the whole interview? Did he explain the connections to insurance companies?
Who said there are no homeless Teabaggers?
I think it’s odd that he calls out these “organizations” for committing crimes that even the families acknowledge were committed either by the LAPD (the Devin Petelski accident) or an inattentive couple (the Adrianna Bashan accident).
The only things these cases have in common are:
a) they both happened late in the evening/early in the morning,
b) the drivers all had hispanic surnames.
In the Adrianna Bashan case the couple was given the maximum penalty for their roles in manslaughter. I’m not sure if there has been any civil trial yet regarding the LAPD in the Petelski accident.
Talk about a loon, this guy can’t even be bothered to worry about the established facts of the case(s) and takes the short-cut to crazyville.
mirror image rule applies
nice catch John.
-they’re a dime a dozen here in nyc too. (weather permitting)

ps…
imagine that, someone still would like to gather some “proof” before he executes an arrest. what a novel concept.

adam looks pretty rough in the morning

Dams can look rough any time of the day. It’s as long as they don’t leak which is key. When they have a show and leak … .
Wow, sounds like foreign policy based information formed while on mind altering substances. Brings back memories of the Bush administration.
ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!!
My guess is that some people have flashes of cognition where the interconnectedness of just about anything becomes apparent. The flash burns out but a person can cling to fragments and feel it is significant enough or maybe even imperative to share these thoughts. Damaged people seem to be aware that they’re skating on thin ice over their own delusions but at least they’ve found something to do. I think my comment just confirmed itself.
I am getting tired, can someone give the rest of us an English translation of this conspiracy theory? This has got to be about as fragmented as they come. Very strange.

I use the most unassuming Kodak M1033 for most of these videos. HD 720p 16×9 30 fps. Reasonable mic. You can get them here and there for about $70 refurbished. Excellent tool. Nobody takes it seriously when being recorded so they blabber on and on.
Thanks, John. Great catch. Esepcially since I didn’t realize ECA lived in SF.
