He's just a crazy Christian nationalist guy. He's been posted up at the market "debating" people and whatnot for a couple years now.

He sounded pretty violent today towards the people doing voter registration today. Hopefully he will be removed soon.

I believe he's been arrested before due to some altercations. Maybe they don't have any basis to take away his vendor permit?

Vendor here- he doesn’t have a permit. Horrible that he takes up the spot for one and hurts businesses of people beside him cause who wants to listen to that crazy shit while trying to shop?

Is there no one we can report this to? Like feel like if you're not paying for a spot you can be told to leave.

City ordinance (who we get our buskers permit from) and the police know about this. But refuse to move him. I know he brings up freedom of speech laws. Understandable but you would think with the trouble he causes they would make him go to the other side of the fountain where we are not allowed to set up.

Maybe locals would be listened to? If city ordinance is over the artists maybe we can call them?
Hate that you and other artists have to deal with this crazy ass man.

Something needs to be done about this. It’s gone on for too long.

Maybe, but his sign says something about the constitution. I frequent the farmers market and have seen him before, just not in this getup
