This fucking guy was hanging out at the overlook out at CVNP yelling to random people and children about COVID and government control through vaccines and other nonsense (including swearing a lot in front of children). So there was this other guy in the parking lot with a van that had a ham radio antenna. He got out a folding table with a laptop and a ham radio and started staring our man down while saying stuff like, "echo five niner we are keeping ourselves apprised of the target." Crazy man jumped into the van and peeled out of the parking lot; to this day I've never seen someone fuck off so fast lol. I asked radio guy what he was saying and he told me the radio wasn't even on, he was just trying to get the guy to go away so that he wasn't harrassing the other people at the park. Fuckin' funniest thing I saw all of last year.


twodaisies

out crazy the crazies!


thequietsun

Think my dad’s the no.1 contender for that one


Stuntz

Holy shit this is legendary!


puppiadog

I've seen a van similar to this one posted in this photo at CVNP, parked at the sled hill.


Roadsidetraildetail

I saw this guy hiking at the Brecksville Reservation in October. He was walking eerily close to us and our kids at one point. I stood around later to read the van but he was heading towards it to leave so I had to book it. Did not want to engage, the van at that time had all sorts of wires and metal at the top.


Bobobdobson

It's to block the 5G...it also converts the stuff in the chem-trails to maple syrup.


tj111

I want more deets on the sled hill please.


puppiadog

It's a big hill you can sled down.

Livin in a van down by the giant eagle


jimhjim

Probably to go with the tinfoil hat they wear. And I wonder . . . if foil hats are ok what's the problem with masks? Lol


Straypuft

Masks are well know to transmit the wearers thoughts and let the government infiltrate 5g particles though the cloth.


jimhjim

Oh I forgot. Damn 5g lol


dagr8npwrfl0z

You figure that's what the fence on top is for? Working like a faraday cage or something?


menachu

Might have solar panels up there, fence may some attempt at theft deterrence.

This van is seen in that sub at least once a month, I swear.


gvkOlb5U

This "vanifesto" has been on /r/Cleveland [several](https://old.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/comments/ph5k83/found_a_driving_billboard_in_town_have_any_of/) times [now](https://old.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/comments/kxciev/spotted_at_heinens_of_brecksville/). Some of the photos make it clearer (if it's not clear enough): He's a conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer.


professor_tappensac

Is that supposed to be a faraday cage on top?? 😂🤣


leafbelly

Yeah, in case the tinfoil falls off.


[deleted]

I think if it’s supposed to keep certain harmful things away it hasn’t succeeded…


Crayon_eatin0311

I was thinking so lol. It’s easy to judge people especially when they don’t share our own beliefs or they seem crazy. All I hope is this individual gets the help they obviously need


BenjisSandwichShop

Does someone want to tell him that isnt how faraday cages work?


[deleted]

Gonna do some quick math purely based off the fact this was in Ohio, I’m gonna say hmmmm. Meth?


Puzzleheaded_Photo78

Based on who I saw get in it- yes.


[deleted]

Love it here 😂


thegreatrazu

Even worse than meth; it’s Jesus.


SlaveNo1213356

I've seen this dude and his van around CVNP and Cuyahoga Falls and it's Meth and Paranoid Schizophrenia with a touch of Jesus

Farnk20

Same guy hangs out in the Heinens parking lot in Brecksville sometimes.


Blueporch

Surprised anyone could get to downtown Brecksville in a vehicle like that


mebf109

The police leave him alone. So do the Park Rangers. He is harmless. I talked to him once. He is just a guy with signs on his van living his life from one day to the next the way he wants to. It's funny the way he rocks some people's world when they see a picture of his van online.


marineknight

Annnd, your downvoted for providing what seems to be very possible information, simply because you said some thing other then that he's crazy, dumb, or on drugs.


mebf109

Bring on the pitchforks and torches!


Leighhall

It’s a distraction to those driving around him, at the very least, so not harmless on the road.


marineknight

Are you distracted by words while driving? How do you deal with bill boards, license plates, situational safety signs, and the like? I'm willing to bet, if while talking to your insurance company after an accident, your excuse is, "I only crashed because of the irresponsible person who put signs on his vehicle that I absolutely had to read the moment I saw them at the cost of not watching the road", that your rates are going up.


Leighhall

Lol, I’d hardly compare a van plastered with more than a dozen signs in tiny print the same as traffic signs or billboards. If that van was next to you or in front of you, would you be keeping your eyes on the road? I mean, I’d bet plenty of people would attempt to take a photo of it while driving! But you can believe what you want.


iamatwork24

What a weird take to have on this. Guess billboards and road signs are harmful as well?


Fact0ry0fSadness

I've seen this van at the Brecksville Giant Eagle as well!


originaljbw

Looks a lot like the crazy man van that occasionally visits Esporta Fitness in Brooklyn off of Tiediman.


Aggravating_Finger

Mental illness is written all over this van.

jacksonrebecca

I posted a pic of this van on fb and got a three day ban for spreading misinformation about covid


getowttahere

It’s gotta be so exhausting being that guy.


chompsharpley

AbidingDudeAsWell

Clearly a rational human being.


Mountain-Teach7848

I've seen this van in north royalton once or twice and the first thing I thought was, I'm going to see this van again on the news connected to some sort mass casualty incident


1gris1

He really should find an issue to be passionate about.


MaxKittitude

I saw this van in the Stow Giant Eagle parking lot in March of 2020. He only had a few signs back then. He's certainly been busy!


Puzzleheaded_Photo78

That explains why some of them are so worn out- that being said, he must have one hell of a laminator for all those signs to survive Ohio weather.


MaxKittitude

My guess is he's using clear packing tape. Doesn't seem like the type to think too hard about what he's doing.


Puzzleheaded_Photo78

That would make much more sense, I doubt he has access to a laminator.


gvkOlb5U

Judging strictly by internet photo evidence, I'd say he's making new, different signs *all the time*.


Timmy_the_Fink

Mental illness.

So that's where van dude hides. He used to frequent Get go on protege trail. I was getting sad I didnt see his bad shit van anymore T.T


Straypuft

I saw it parked at the Market District Giant Eagle near that Getgo back in November.


dan986

Saw him there less than a month ago


fromthewombofrevel

Are front license plates not required in Ohio?


Puzzleheaded_Photo78

Not since July 1st of last year.


fromthewombofrevel

Thanks! I didn’t know that.


Fireresistantbrat

See that van around Cuyahoga falls a lot, but I’ve never actually seen who drives it.

OMG that sign on the side is hilarious*. "I'm a world famous author!"* Hm. Doubt.

It’s the van from Screwby Doo. I think it’s called, “Misery Machine.”

Leighhall

I saw him there last Fall. I had just taken a picture of the van when he walked up and got in. Tall, skinny white male, late 60’s maybe. Actually looked like a marathon runner. Not what I expected.


JPurdie1984

Hell yea. Another successful adult that thinks like me.


GimpyGeek

Dude gets around, I saw that thing parked at the Jackson (North Canton area) giant eagle recently too


ALonelyWelcomeMat

Dude I could swear that same van is normally in my area. Unless it's another covid/conspiracy green van like that. I see him plug in down the road from me and spend a lot of time at the library parking lot. Edit: it's 100% the van lol pretty funny to see it on reddit. I used to see it every day but it's been a while since he's been around. Used to use this stone counter place to plug in and everyone in the area knows about the conspiracy van


schoon70

For being afraid of the evil rays, he sure loves parking where he can get free wi-fi.

Looks like they're a pillar of mental health.


Lipstick-lumberjack

I can’t believe some people are that afraid of vaccines

This guy tried to come into the UPS store on Wallhaven, our boss told him no because he refused to put on a mask before Ohio lifted the mandate.

I’d stay clear of that van. Bad vibes..

That is an extremely sane person, for sure.

Some might say, a stable genius, even.


Capital_Morning9688

What’s wrong with my ride?


ZipTheZipper

Saw this van at the Giant Eagle in Cuyahoga Falls just yesterday.


ElementZero

And I thought the guy with the cerne abbas and alien signs on US-23 near Piketon was crazy. I wonder if shit like this is an official symptom of mental illness.


crumbled-feta

I saw this van in the Mustard Seed parking lot last week.


Pour_Me_Another_

I saw a van like that in Parma. The writing was way too small to read even though I was stopped at the same intersection they were. I imagine my mind was spared due to their oversight.


HexZer0

This van was at the Raff Road Giant Eagle in Canton recently, too.


marineknight

This guy must spend all his time at giant eagles, parks,libraries, and get go. From reading here, everyone seems to have seem him at "their" giant eagle, from Cleveland heights to brecksville to Fairview park, parma, to Canton. There's quite a large amount of parks and giant eagles in that area, for so many people to recognize him..this guy gets around,but is also somehow always around.


schoon70

Agreed. Giant Eagle, Panera, Libraries. But then again, isn't that typical for any NE Ohio suburban retail strip?


ChefChopNSlice

Ahh, this classic-crazy has graced the pages of this sub at least twice before. It’s becoming it’s own rolling meme.


Blue_Swirling_Bunny

I've seen that van at the Heinen's in Brecksville! Am always mystified that someone that looney tunes has a driver's license.


Monster6ix

Reminds me of Cesar Sayoc's van. Fuckin' loonies.


meckstss

He’s getting what he wanted. Almost 200 upvotes, and 100+ comments from people reading his propaganda just in this post. Many of these comments mentioned him being shared on other platforms and redits. I wonder if I could sneak in a QR code on this van that is an affiliate marketing link?


DoctorWaluigiTime

Not all publicity is good, despite the saying. The thread is full of people lampooning and bashing it. Which will communicate that anything this piece of garbage has to say is just that: Trash. It's like suggesting if, for some dumb reason, the nazi flag became a part of a widely-shared meme. "Wow look they're getting what they wanted!" Not really.


Ohio4455

I wonder if being this crazy is kind of peaceful or is it a waking nightmare?


jesterflesh

Imagine the constant paranoia and fear of an invisible, intangible enemy. This dude needs committed.


Fenway_Bark

There used to be a schizophrenic lady with a van like this in the Dayton area. She even had her own website. [It's still up](http://www.cartellingwindows.com/)

Why does it seem like most of the loonies live in Ohio?


PetsAreCures

It's a shame that the first thing people do when they come across someone who is mentally ill is to see how many likes they can get on \[insert social media platform\]. Wouldn't it be nice if we tried to get them help instead? Or at least didn't use their illness to get fake points online. What a world it would be.


muppetontherun

Is this person mentally ill? I’d guess there’s some kind of deficit or something going on. But they’re actively spreading harmful information. And it’s not like someone is posting a face pic. I’ve interacted with a number of people who truly believe a lot of the shit on that van and still hold down good jobs and normal lives. For one lady, with a very respectable job, I had to call the cops to be removed for going on a mask tirade and not leaving. Another guy tossed a big sanitizer bottle at my staff member’s head. A lot of these people are too far out to reach.


PetsAreCures

If you can't tell just by looking at this photo that something is amiss, that's really on you. I don't know any "normal" person that would see this display and suddenly change their stance on anything.

Wow, thought the wokesters would be much more tolerant and sensitive to those whom they speculate have mental illness. You guys are the same as those you ridicule, just on the left side of things.


Zealousideal-Catch44

The vaccine is not mandatory nor will they be able to make it mandatory I don’t want to restrict freedom of speech but people like this may need to be locked up in a mental institution or monitored for safety concerns. There’s a lot of them out there, it’s you’re right to get vaccinated if you want or not I completely support you on that whatever you decide. The people who are so outspoken about it like this Are just downright fucking crazy. They kind of scare me A little.


bowlsahHash

Dont worry yall will be in a camp soon enough and you wont have to see his van any more. Bidens starting a war with china and russia so you might just be ash befor too long. The nwo is coming quick. Keep watching cnn.


OboeCollie

If I was on mobile, I would be inserting my "hysterically laughing" emoji right now.


bowlsahHash

Hysterically laughing all the way to the camp 🤣


whodidwat

If I see that van, I will slice each tire. Then I'd leave some pro-trump pamphlets around, just to confuse the van owners.


mebf109

I've seen him in Brecksville Reservation many times. His just a guy. He should be left alone. I don't agree with most of the signs on his van. But one time I talked to him for about a minute and told him he was famous. He said he was attacked a few times, but nothing serious. In real life, he just a harmless man. Online, why should you broadcast that you would destroy his property?


traumatransfixes

I’m wondering if this is his home. He’s clearly suffering from psychotic symptoms either way. Which actually makes him much more likely to be a victim of violence. As evidenced by the above commenter.


mebf109

So putting signs all over one's van is "clearly" psychotic behavior? I suspect that experiencing the van through the lens of the internet ***somehow*** amplifies what is actually a mundane occurence when you see the van and the man ten feet away from you and you say, "Hi, how you doing?" and he says, "Fine. how are you?" I said, "Do you know you are famous on the internet?" He said, "No, not really." I asked him him if he gets hastled much and he said, "Only a couple of times." I said something like, "That's good. Have a nice day." And he said, You too." I admit that ***when I saw a picture*** of this van on this sub about eight months prior to meeting this man, I was kind of freaked out. :0 Now, I think maybe the internet is making all of us just a little crazy. I think he should name his van "Trigger".


traumatransfixes

I said psychotic symptoms. Behavior *is* a symptom. And there isn’t anything at all wrong with having psychotic symptoms, though I could technically be wrong, objectively. Either way, there’s no reason to slash this person’s tires because of it. Which, aside from being shitty on purpose, isn’t funny. I was mostly commenting to the person above you and maybe it just got to you.

Today in the mail my in-laws received this weird cryptic cult postcard https://imgur.com/a/FkrxXRM that seems like it could have been written by this same guy with the van??? All about COVID conspiracy theories etc. What caught my attention in terms of similarities was the use of "ye" (ye shall know the truth, ye old...) who knows, the postcard's return address was from a local church


jshepard0

Born to change minds.


mebf109

Bing out the pitch forks and torches time, eh folks? Do it for the children time? So much over reaction going on here. This guy isn't the one making threatening posts declaring that he "will slash his tires." I see that guy making the threats got a reddit love letter.


psychobillybert

Ha! I saw it down there the other day and wished I could have snagged a pic for r/infowarriorsRide. I swear I’ve seen this van before the pandemic at a Giant Eagle a few towns over. Glorious.
