I don't even think Frank has a mental illness. I think he's a wildly original artist taking cues from eccentric street fixtures of the past. I can't help but laugh when I read his different signs, they are really funny. I can tell Frank has a great sense of humor and I think he's awesome. This guy interviewing him is absolutely NOT awesome, on the other hand, but it's interesting to see Frank stand his ground here.
I read up on Frank Chu, and I'm impartial to who he is or about. I understand that he's done some really bad things in the past, but I don't think this video was really necessary. As if all youtube videos are necessary, but this one makes the interviewer a deucebag.
I'm not saying you have to treat him like a celebrity either--I think people have been ridiculing him that way as well. But just leave him alone and DEFINITELY do not pull the crap that you did in this video. Maybe interview some of the real idiots out there protesting homosexual marriage, instead of the most harmless one, who protests pretty much all UNRELATED issues. Which I hope you did, right? Anyways I see this was a while ago...
In early 1985, Chu, then 24 years old, took 11 members of his family hostage in his home in Oakland and was reported to have beaten one or more with his fists. Chu fired a .38 pistol at a police officer who came to investigate, but missed. Police cordoned off a ten-block area for three hours. Chu eventually released his hostages and surrendered to the police.
That was literally over 20 years ago. Does it make it right? No. But you honestly cannot deduct through the nature of his philosophies and protests that an untreated paranoid schizophrenic could think that his family was someone/thing else during an episode? Chu paid his dues, and made amends with his family. They provide his BART and bus fare and support his lifestyle. They know that he was suffering at the time, and he HAS been kind and harmless to everyone since.
Just because you can't imagine the fear and horrors of schizophrenia doesn't mean you have the right to put him down. In the eyes of the state, and his family, he has been forgiven for his mistakes. Who are you to judge at this point? I am against violence, but I am also a treated schizophrenic, and you are attempting to justify something that you have no place defending. You were not there. He is doing what he thinks is right, and is not hurting anyone. Fact.
I have a lot of empathy for the mentally ill, I am insane in the membrane myself, I don't think that Frank or anybody who is hilariously crazy is hurting anyone, . Really why I took the tact that I did in this video was that he was protesting right near the hate speakers during the first gay marriage in San Francisco and he is actually quite hateful of gays. This really bothers me.
@figgenhoffer Your damn in your face/obnoxious persuades me to hate gays. You give a bad name to your people. You seem to take his illness as a joke; how would you feel if people made fun of your fucking homosexuality. I was pretty open to gay people, but you just make my blood boil.
Why would you EVER walk up to a person with a mental illness and ridicule him/her like that? What is wrong with you? If you don't know anything about the man, then leave him along. Frank Chu pickets/protests every day, and does NOT necessarily protest about the same things as others. Chances are he was NOT protesting homosexuals. Would you walk up to a person with HIV and say, "Has it ever occurred to you that you might be chronically ill?" Again, why would you ever do that?
What the fuck, you're a condescending asshole. He has more respect and adoration than most people on the street, so why upset him when he's never harmed anyone? He's not a homophobe, just against the 12 galaxies zegnatronic rocket society.

Chu eventually released his hostages and surrendered to the police
I know that, EVERYONE who knows about Chu is well aware. You do realize he is schizophrenic, correct? He was not medicated or diagnosed at that time. He was probably scared shitless, paranoid and hallucinating. He is a good man with a mental illness. He has done nothing to indicate that he would do something like that again, so who are you to judge and ridicule him? So, because you are mentally ill, you don't deserve the respect that you would give to a "normal" person? That is sick.
Sick is making him a celebrity among the smug fartsniffers of that town. btw speaking of your great town, what do you call naming a bar after one of his rants? Think he gets the joke?
youre a punk, dude. Typical internet hoe. I just looked at your weak ass family videos. TRUST- If I recognize you on the street, I will punch your chin off your face. You fucking hoe.
Yo, Figgenhoffer, you sound like a complete fool while you stand there and mock Frank Chu. You should learn how to pronounce "homosexual" if you're gonna speak in your videos.
I'm all for dark humour, but picking on a paranoid schizophrenic isn't exactly fucking funny. His life is probably hard enough without you making it harder.
I think also you may have reacted to Franks first statement. His views change all the time. One minute he is for gay marriage. the next, something different. One minute he is supporting Hillary Clinton, the next he's blaming the Clintons for collaborating with 12 galaxies. In order to judge Frank, it must be on something other than the 12 galaxies which is him in a perpetual state of performance. ~Chico
I don't know who this guy is who interviewed Frank, but the lack of respect given here is shameful. Frank Chu is a local SF fixture you see around all the time. He even comes out to bars and art shows. Who knows the story as to why he is the way he is, but I'm sure if the interviewer knew that story, he might be less inclined to be such an asshole. At least Frank isn't malicious. It's one thing to be curious, but quite another just to belittle someone with a mental illness.
Can you delete those comments. I just came in the room and my little brother was on the computer and I had left my youtube account on and he has been leaving comments in my name with his opinions. Personally I have no opinion on this Frank Chu character or you. Sorry for his potty mouth. He is 22 and mouthy as crap....at least you don't have to actually deal with him everyday in real life.
P.S. I hate your whiney little bitch voice....Frank Chu should have punched you in your throat for interrupting him. Lord knows I would have if I was there.
I like Frank Chu....you though...you sir can fuck off with your little whiney voice and fucktarded questions. YOU made an ass of yourself...listen to how you talk to him you stupid little dipshit...meanwhile you think he needs help yet you talk down to him?? FUCK YOU buddy you little bitch.
he is a nutcase! In early 1985, Chu, then 24 years old, took 11 members of his family hostage in his home in Oakland and was reported to have been beating some with his fists. Chu fired a .38 pistol at one police officer who came to investigate, but missed. Police cordoned off a ten-block area for three hours. Chu eventually released his hostages and surrendered to the police.
A shame that you had to take the bullying approach in order to prove something, I don't know what, that society has no room for interesting characters? Yea let's all be the same bullying smartass that shits all over things that are a different color. Besides I doubt any Subgenii, with the attitude you showed to Frank in this video, would want your ass stinking up their air.
Frank had no idea what the hell i was saying, he was happy as a dog eating shit just to be on camera, he is not interesting or a character, he is mentally ill. The subgenie's, i want nothing to do with, they are ridiculous losers who blather on and on insanely about nothing sorta like Frank except that they aren't crazy, just high on ten to twelve different drugs, and think that they are in some kind of special club. Being a sucker ain't no club, and using people like Frank ain't cool neither.
12 Galaxies is a cool club, sometimes, sometimes they are lame, Chicken John is a straight up asshole, but I appreciate him in a certain sense, not in others, he is a rich guy with money to burn, to use a mental patient to advertise his club is just plain wrong. Just because Chew is a camera hog doesn't make it right. Yes being a subgenius is cool and counterculture, big fucking deal, the elitist hipsters really love pretending to "get it" while they are totally blasted on twelve drugs at once.
I don't even think Frank has a mental illness. I think he's a wildly original artist taking cues from eccentric street fixtures of the past. I can't help but laugh when I read his different signs, they are really funny. I can tell Frank has a great sense of humor and I think he's awesome. This guy interviewing him is absolutely NOT awesome, on the other hand, but it's interesting to see Frank stand his ground here.
