Frank Chu (1955 - ) is one of San Francisco's best-known eccentrics. His protests against US Presidents, corporations, and the 12 Galaxies have been held in San Francisco and nearby locales since at least 1995. Frank has been compared to Joshua A. Norton, an earlier famous San Francisco eccentric.
Frank Chu lives in Oakland, California and commutes daily to San Francisco where he can find the largest audience of passers-by and television news crews to share his thoughts with. He supports himself through a combination of state aid, sign sponsorship(s) and small donations from his supporters.
Before his protests
Little is known about Frank's life before he started protesting. An old resume of his has been found, which has revealed that he has worked as a truck driver and holds (or claims to hold) an associate's degree in Business Administration. [1].
Actually, Frank is said to have been a typical straight-A student throughout junior high and high school by one of his classmates in Oakland.
World View and Interests
Frank Chu holds Bill Clinton responsible for directing the CIA to withhold payment to him for being a movie star during the presidency of George H.W. Bush. His protests frequently call for the impeachment of Clinton although Clinton is no longer in office. Bill Clinton and various other US Presidents are frequently accused by Mr. Chu of cooperating with the 12 Galaxies to commit crimes and treasons. Mr. Chu is strongly interested in television reporters and newscasters, who will bring him the publicity he requires to inform the world of the injustices committed against him. This wave of publicity will cause a public outcry, which will result in the impeachment of various US Presidents and the awarding of $20 billion in compensation to Frank for the damages he and his family have suffered.
Frank Chu's interests include NASA, flying saucers, rocket vacations, Benjamin Franklin, Christianity, second salaries, androids, and past and current political events.
The 12 Galaxies bar in San Francisco is named in honor of Frank's cause. As such, its bartenders have standing orders to give Frank free Budweiser, Frank's favorite drink, whenever he drops by.
Health
Because of his eccentric behavior, Frank Chu is frequently given "folk psychiatry" diagnoses from untrained observers extrapolating from insufficient data - typically the catch-all diagnosis of schizophrenia. Others, acting on just as high a ratio of speculation to information, suspect that Chu is an especially dedicated but quite sane performance artist.
Though he has been known to raise his voice at times, he is safe to approach, respects personal boundaries and most social customs, and is always happy to share his views and answer polite questions.
Frank occasionally walks with a limp, commonly attributed to his strenuous protesting schedule which requires him to walk many miles every day. Supportive friends occasionally buy him new shoes when his current pair seems beyond repair.
Sign Texts
Frank's black signs with fluorescent, all-caps lettering are his distinctive "trademark", instantly recognizable even by those who know nothing else about him.
