Bro, I live right there and he actually wanders all hours of the night too. I leave my window open most nights. It's not uncommon for me to wake up in the middle of the night hearing him scream, take a step, violently twist and point and yell again, and then repeat until he makes his way too far up the road. It's all hours of everyday, no exceptions. I honestly wonder if he lives with somebody around there and they just let him wander. I've never seen him looking super incredibly homeless. His hair is usually cut and he's usually clean shaven, his clothes aren't crazy dirty although he's usually wearing the same thing with minor variations. Idk. I feel bad for the guy though, he needs help and instead he's just kind of a local legend.
I just mentioned him on another comment, haven’t seen him for a while. Is he still out on thousand oaks popping up? I remember seeing him round house kick an invisible monster one time.
Okay I actually have a name now. His name is Thomas. He was an ex cop. He got shot and lost it. He runs away from home and his family takes care of him still. Cops usually just take him back home as he’s harmless and probably won’t get arrested for his behavior.
I'm not sure he's actually yelling at actual people. I've waved at him and said hello a couple times and he always turns normal for a second and greets me back 🤣 then he goes back to yelling at whoever, likely hallucinations.
My boss calls him Uncle Jesse. I used to see him at Huebner and Fredericksburg and would yell back all the time and he didn't even notice, just continued on flipping off the telephone pole.
Yep. I remember the first time seeing him downtown and that was exactly my mom's reaction, "oh, that's just Bongo Joe." And I'm like "can we go watch him for a bit?"
The guy with the stupid slanted pickup who does drywall. I think he has 2 of them.

Literally have a video of him in my phone.
I literally was just about to post about him lmao, I used to live by Judson HS off FM78 right there. He once approached me at the Sonic when I was skinnier and said "Andrew Garfield or whoever the fuck you are; you're a worthless piece of shit spiderman and you should be ashamed of yourself." Then walked right over to the 7/11 next door. Came back a few minutes later and gave me a fun fact about those big ol black bumblebees like he didn't just verbally accost me 🤣 Everybody around FM78 knew him lmao
That’s Thomas. He’s harmless and it’s a tic. If you lower your windows, he’s not even yelling most of the time, he’s just making gestures with his arms and mouth. Dude rocks up to the Starbucks and orders stuff as well lol I live around the area and see him weekly if not daily. He’s got an apartment and everything.
Every time someone notices him for the first time you’ll see posts about him on neighborhood type apps and a lady explained a while back about him because she was his neighbor at some apartment complex nearby and how he lives by himself and takes care of himself and is harmless.
He’s just pretty much walking for leisure/exercise I’m assuming. Then heads back home.
I know him as DeZavala Dave, cause that’s where my girlfriend and I used to always see him. Then she moved by Vance Jackson and Huebner and he’s over here all the time.
I've wondered about him, haven't seen him in about two years or so. He seemed harmless, but I wouldn't have wanted to be near the guy to find out. People would walk by him all the time and he'd never pay any mind to them.
Always figured he was someone's mentally ill relative with some sort of caregiver since he always had on different "nice" (dirty polos) every time I saw him. Wouldn't have surprised me if he was just drugged out and was walking around in an extremely altered state all the time either.
Ahh I see that guy all the time. I’ve seen him switch outfits like once, but usually in the same clothes for about 2 years now that I’ve lived in the area of his walk. Honestly can’t tell if he really is homeless he doesn’t look dirty and somehow shaves
There was also an older white guy who walked around the 10 / De Zavala - Huebner area with a sleeping bag(?). He has wispy white hair with a bald spot. I’d see him occasionally having a drink at McDonalds or IHOP. Kept to himself. Always looked clean.
I've seen him! It was a while back when I used to live at the dump The Anthony though. He was on Evans road if I remember correctly. I thought it was some type of challenge or contest he was doing like "pay me x amount for each mile."
There’s a guy in our neighborhood who wanders around in various robes and capes , could just as easily be a Star Wars character as Jesus but we call him Hood Jesus.
Shirtless guy around zarzammora and culebra! He hangs out with his shopping cart full of his belongings and is really cool. My bf and I would buy him food every now and again.
I bumped Into this guy when I was walking home from work at 2am and I said "hey whats up bro" and he says to me "hi I'm Jonathan and I am not your brother"
I was going to say him as well. I believe his name is Jonathan. Every time I’m driving down Potranco and see him waving his hands in the air I’m like “it’s Jonathan!” Lol I wanna AirTag him and see where he goes…
The Huebner Hollerer. He is a wispy haired old man who hangs out along Huebner near Vance Jackson and rages at the sky and passing vehicles. Everyone who frequents that area knows about him.
Not appreciated enough.

Back in another life, while working at Five Points, we used to get a kick out of seeing The Colonel, a fella who also worked in the area > and dressed just like Col. Sanders of KFC. We'd ask him where he lived and he would cover his heart and smile. Nice guy, always in a good mood and cordial. Surely he's passed by now so .. RIP friend.
Cause it aint a man - it’s a woman
Fiesta Sucia WHERE YOU AT GUUUUUURL?!?!
OAN: I’m from a small town in Georgia and back there the man’s name was freightrain ☠️😅 poor fella passed a few years back though.
The guy that drives up Bandera in the morning hanging out his window, waving things. He has I built America on the back of his car.
I haven’t seen him recently though.
Oh yea, white suv, hazards on, honking the horn, wearing the big headphones
That's just "Jammin Jesus"
Typically see him early in the morning 7-8 am, I think he works a night shift somewhere. he drives toward guilbeau rd on Bandera, heading towards Braun Station east neighborhood.
He also waves to get your attention then flips you off🤣.....always a great day when you cross paths with jammin Jesus
"The Nice Proselytizer" at the Rim. I see him most Wednesday nights with his sign " Jesus Loves You". Not annoying or hurting anyone, just doing his thing.
Mr. Lok. He would walk around near Alamo Ranch with a big smile and wave to everyone. Everyone in the area knew of him and he was responsible for many smiles, even on a bad day. He passed away a few years ago.
Bat-manuel! There's a older Hispanic man in the Palm Heights area that rides a bike in something similar to a Batman costume. Cape and cowl but no ears. He carries a gun and it looks like he has some kind of goggles on his head too. I only ever see him riding around after 10:00 p.m. I had seen him several times and told my family about him but they never believed me that he was real ! They thought I was making it up until one time they saw him! I always feel a bit safer around Palm Heights knowing that he's around. 🥺🙏🏽
Your local homeless guy doesn’t count
Bongo Joe and Mexican Elvis count for sure
Spurs Jesus is the closest now
Mr Piñata tried for a bit, but I don’t know if he’s still doing that
There's a preacher who stands outside of every comic / anime convention that screams about the fires of the underworld and that those who enter the convention gates will never enter the kingdom of God something like that lol
The enormous (probably 400+ lb) shirtless fat guy who has walked around Westover Hills with a shopping cart for years that I've never seen lose weight. Pretty impressive.
There was or is a guy(I’m not sure anymore) on the west side of town right next to Luna middle school that use to workout in a full sauna suit and oxygen mask on a grass strip in the middle of the road. It didn’t matter how hot or cold it was he would be out there consistently.
My ex MIL has a cousin who lives bye HWY 181 who rides his horse drunk and goes to the store and buys more beer and always gets a DWI for riding his horse drunk.
There was this homeless guy that would hang out at the intersection of Encino Rio and 281 frontage, just as you got into Encino Park. He wasnt begging, just chilling, living his best life (and not making a mess). He was there for like a good 4-5 months, the neighbors and I called him Encino Man. Unfortunately, he disappeared last year and never saw him again.
The black guy with the blazer truck full of shit and a flag that drives around and yells things while driving. Normally see him around Bandera road area.
Y'all know that obese shirtless white guy who pushes a shopping cart on Potranco and Ingram? Kinda does the 4 corners around the Target shopping center.
Hispanic Elvis was one.
RIP
RIP
And Bongo Joe.
I remember Bongo Joe. He didn’t want to work he just wanted to bang on those drums all day. Rip.
Elvez
El Vez? He's still alive.
Passed away a couple years ago now I think
Different guy. Our Mexican Elvis was a local.
RIP
RIP

Dude who is always yelling at people off of Vance Jackson/woodstone/huebner area
I see him every day. I‘ve been told his name is Thomas.
I see him tooooo
I thought it was funny until I started riding my motorcycle to work and now I'm scared 😨
He's actually nice, if you wave to him or say hello he turns normal and greets you back then goes right back to fighting with his demons
I'll wave to him next time then 👌
mans is lookin sharp out there with those fits
Bro, I live right there and he actually wanders all hours of the night too. I leave my window open most nights.

There’s an Asian man who always does karate in the middle of the road in front of HEB on Thousand Oaks Been doing it for 10+ years
I just mentioned him on another comment, haven’t seen him for a while. Is he still out on thousand oaks popping up? I remember seeing him round house kick an invisible monster one time.
I see him like once a week, he’s still there for sure
Okay I actually have a name now. His name is Thomas. He was an ex cop. He got shot and lost it. He runs away from home and his family takes care of him still. Cops usually just take him back home as he’s harmless and probably won’t get arrested for his behavior.
Ah yes the pointing guy. Glad to hear he's still okay.
I'm not sure he's actually yelling at actual people. I've waved at him and said hello a couple times and he always turns normal for a second and greets me back 🤣 then he goes back to yelling at whoever, likely hallucinations.
My boss calls him Uncle Jesse. I used to see him at Huebner and Fredericksburg and would yell back all the time and he didn't even notice, just continued on flipping off the telephone pole.
When I was a kid, it was Bongo Joe
Yep. I remember the first time seeing him downtown and that was exactly my mom's reaction, "oh, that's just Bongo Joe." And I'm like "can we go watch him for a bit?"
Not forgotten
>not forgotten dude has his own wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bongo_Joe_Coleman

Imagine when he’s going uphill & he’s level for a sec
HOLY SBIT THIS GUY LIVES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD
At least he's never late to the job site? ha ha That looks like a drag racing setup.
Everyone knows that you go faster pointed downhill!
Spider-Man on WW White and Rigsby. Picks weeds and rides a bike. I live on the north side now so I don’t see him anymore.
I used to see him when I lived in converse I haven't seen him in awhile!
I literally was just about to post about him lmao, I used to live by Judson HS off FM78 right there. He once approached me at the Sonic when I was skinnier and said "Andrew Garfield or whoever the fuck you are; you're a worthless piece of shit spiderman and you should be ashamed of yourself."

Came back a few minutes later and gave me a fun fact about those big ol black bumblebees like he didn't just verbally accost me 🤣 Everybody around FM78 knew him lmao
He’s still around. I don’t see him riding bikes anymore. He used to go around taking shopping carts back to stores too.
Did anyone else know him as crazy Dave? I don’t know where that name came from
I haven’t seen him , but we got a report of a guy dressed as Spider-Man climbing on the crossing at Toepperwein/Gibbs Sprawl. 😂
The Homeless Guy that yells at people from the sidewalk in front of The Strand off of Heubner
That guy isn't homeless. He's out there yelling at people for the love of the game.
Chad
That’s Thomas. He’s harmless and it’s a tic. If you lower your windows, he’s not even yelling most of the time, he’s just making gestures with his arms and mouth. Dude rocks up to the Starbucks and orders stuff as well lol I live around the area and see him weekly if not daily. He’s got an apartment and everything. Every time someone notices him for the first time you’ll see posts about him on neighborhood type apps and a lady explained a while back about him because she was his neighbor at some apartment complex nearby and how he lives by himself and takes care of himself and is harmless. He’s just pretty much walking for leisure/exercise I’m assuming. Then heads back home.
Used to see him alot when working around there a few years ago, he's just living
We all call him the Huebner Hollerer.
My husband nicknamed him “Ragey”. We also have “Stone Oak Ragey” hanging around the Whataburger off 281 and Evans.
Nah that's Salvador he's actually chill
The stone oak guy is surprisingly chill when you talk to him, but when he’s alone is when he starts the screaming at the sky
I mean, who doesn't?
Is he chill tho? Really?
I went into that Starbucks once and he was just chillin drinking a coffee. I about died. He was getting prepped for a day of action.
This is the one I thought of too.
That’s what I was thinking! 😂
I’m convinced he just loves cars and is naming all the makes and models that drive by
Is this the old guy that looks kind of clean cut still that does finger guns to cars and stuff?
I know him as DeZavala Dave, cause that’s where my girlfriend and I used to always see him. Then she moved by Vance Jackson and Huebner and he’s over here all the time.
Drive by this guy every morning for work
I've wondered about him, haven't seen him in about two years or so. He seemed harmless, but I wouldn't have wanted to be near the guy to find out.
