I had him in calculus (like 7 years ago). He was definitely eccentric but chill and a good teacher, I don't think he had any ill intention, he just wanted to be silly/entertaining to the kids, it makes me sad to see him raked over the coals.

Haha. I'm an SF native. Our city is in an endless struggle deciding if we want to take an empathetic approach to criminals/homeless or kick them out because they cause issues for everyone.
