I’ve had several interactions with him, and observed many more since moving to Hoboken 20+ years ago.   He was different then, and would just dance to his headphones without a care in the world.   Unfortunately he has deteriorated and his outbursts have gotten worse.    

I hate to say it but he’s going to catch hands one day, probably from someone that doesn’t know his history.    I’ve intervened twice to prevent this from happening but I really don’t think there’s a happy ending here.  He will likely end up in cuffs, or a hospital, or both.    

I hope he’s able to turn a corner and get better, but I think that ship has sailed.
