I Don't Trust Roman, Here's Why
(c) 2007 by Ezekiel J. Krahlin
2007 December 1
A big guy this Roman, right out of the cold northern woods of
Michigan. Fifty or so years old: six-foot-two, straight black hair
turning gray, thick eyebrows, often seen in black (trenchcoat w/guitar
in black case slung over his shoulder). LOOKS like a Roman legionnaire
out of a book on ancient history (he is named well)! ALWAYS cruises
chicks here in The Castro. And does so with a cheesy and spooky
demeanor. I assure you: women don't like it, though they pretend to as
a matter of self-protection. They'll smile and walk on, hoping for no
trouble.
But this is the worst part (and why I don't trust Roman): Whenever we
are talking, the moment some attractive lady walks by, he'll totally
FORGET I'm there, stare boldly and call her attention with cruisy
language. And this, right in the middle of conversation, when I'm
trying to convey or ask something PERTINENT about the homeless. Often,
something that could temper the risk of violence I suffer as an
activist confronting the street culture's rampant homophobia.
I find Roman's behavior shocking, rude and thoughtless. I'm sure part
of his problem is my being a gay activist. Which seems to be trivial
in his own mind. 'Cause he sure pays attention when a female shows up!
At the cost of suddenly dismissing me without a second thought.
Hard-core hetero cruising (as opposed to respectful greeting) helps
maintain a hostile attitude towards women...regarding them as Coitus
Commodities. Such perspective is actually anti-female, as it serves to
encourage men to intimidate and violate the fairer gender. Can (and
does) lead to terrorism, violence, rape.
His corrupting behavior is an insult to our gay community that
rightfully desires a locale free of breeder belligerance. (Factoid: a
neighborhood that is safe for gays is also safe for women, and
children.) It is as if Roman INTENTIONALLY acts this way, precisely to
thwart this gay-resident-friendly outcome. But whenever I confront him
on this, he acts perplexed, as if I'm denigrating Mother Nature's most
common and celebrated raison d'etre.
I have a strong feeling that were I female myself, Roman would be all
over me, respecting every single word I say. Or, were I a HETERO
activist, worried over my female homeless friends, again he'd most
likely give me his undivided interest.
Example: My concern over Johnny was dismissed by Roman with an abrupt
statement: "Stay out of this, Zeke. We take care of our own." I stood
there, angered. ("We" meaning the homeless, as he was for eight years
until some months back. But maybe this was nervy reference to ANOTHER
subculture, one more obscure and fiendish: The Zodiac Cult.) Said
this, in spite of our being on rather FRIENDLY terms for a good five
years!
As a result of this crude brush-off, it took MONTHS to discover what's
really going on with Johnny. Sadly, I understand his father had died,
thus causing Johnny great bitterness and taking it out on me. Looking
back, the pieces now fit: a few weeks before Mr. Serresseque passed
on, Johnny confided: "My dad is also my very best friend of all time;
no one could ever replace him. But after him it is YOU, Zeke, that I
regard as best friend...no one else even comes close." (My heart was
radiant with joy for that kind compliment...until The Big Letdown a
little further down the road.) His father and I are the EXACT same
age, BTW. But while I'm politically progressive, he was Republican,
owning considerable stock in oil. I'm afraid therefore that he
influenced Johnny with certain mean-spirited attitudes that eventually
caused him to turn on me. Along with hate talk radio's endless spiel
of homophobic broadcasts.
But also, I was concerned for his survival due to an infected arm
(with blood clot) from an unclean heroin injection. Roman would not
clue me in on Johnny's present situation, causing me months of
needless grief for Johnny's sake. And I believe Roman's crude
treatment of my friend****p with Johnny is because it was all a "guy
thing". Now, if this were a woman I cared about, I am certain Roman
would be most receptive...even stumble all over himself to help.
Now you know why I don't trust Roman one bit, and believe that any
"help" he'd offer in my recent entanglement, would only serve to
obfuscate my endeavors, and result in personal harm towards yours
truly.
Roman's thoughtless behavior is a grievous offense against gays,
ESPECIALLY queer activists like myself. After years' observation I no
longer give him the benefit of doubt, that that's how he is, straight
people just can't help themselves. I actually conclude he is a willful
saboteur for This Malignant Cult, not just a clueless puppet for their
devious goals (or for society's heterocentric propaganda, though that
aspect certainly FACILITATES The Cult's activities). Yet ONE MORE
SKANKY HOUSELESS MALE on the streets of The Castro, gay-friendliness a
mere PRETENSE to siphon off the benefits of an affluent neighborhood's
kindheartedness and currency flow. And to own the streets themselves,
once nightfall descends.
These Gutter Hobos return NOTHING to our community that is beneficial
in the least towards LGBT security, advancement or sovereignty. In
fact, it's the opposite! Blatant womanizing is actually the LEAST of
their offenses. They poop and pee on the sidewalks, in bushes and
gardens, and in our local parks (Duboce Triangle, Collingwood and
Dolores)...sometimes even doing so right in broad daylight at a
crowded intersection! They strew garbage EVERYWHERE, regardless of the
numerous trashbins avaialable. Some (and that's more than a handful, I
assure) strut these streets with macho bravado, scaring people and
disturbing the peace with hostile and homophobic verbiage, and
aggressively VIOLENT gesture.
Some even SELECT a victim to STALK through our 'hood (like that
character Dane who does most of his dirty work around Castro and 18th
Street. Another who calls himself "Joker"--of wiry build, bald pate,
and queer as a four-dollar bill--feigns hetero-bully bravado around
Church and Market). And of course there's ALWAYS the occassional
outburst of physcial violence, often preceded by verbal epithets like
"faggot," "cock sucker," "horn dog". (I learned of the latter phrase
only by a bum who OBVIOUSLY hails from hillbilly country, like so many
who are trans****ted a la "Grapes of Wrath" from their Appalachian
stomping grounds to Bleeding-Heart-Liberal San Francisco, to take
advantage of all its gratuitous amenities, and gentle climate.)
The S.F. Chronicle has an ongoing expose about our homeless, entitled
"Shame of the City". They err on at least one point, and it has stuck
in my craw ever since. The claim that Eureka Valley (a.k.a. The
Castro) has some homeless vagrants wandering the streets, but not as
much as in other neighborhoods, like South of Market and the Inner
Sunset. That is flatly UNTRUE. We who live and work in The Castro are
INUNDATED with houseless dregs 24/7. We are harassed and terrorized
CONSTANTLY by some of the worst hobos to ever plague a community. The
place is FLOODED with street bums, hawkers and HOMOPHOBIC s***! What
few decent and queer homeless there are must kowtow to the bullies,
here in their own GAY 'hood. Furthermore, this expose seems to focus
SOLELY on our hetero***ual homeless, totally ignoring the plight of
our LGBT street folk. I accuse the S.F. Chonicle of pro-hetero bias in
their re****ting of this matter! (More Zodiac Cult intrigue?)
A most EFFECTIVE strategy This Cult employs, is to program the
homeless to broadcast hateful screams throughout the Castro (late at
night), in order to frighten residents into staying in their homes,
doors double-locked (or spending their evenings out in some OTHER
neighborhood). This clever tactic keeps the streets relatively empty
of decent residents, whose presence would THWART the evil curs, and
make the streets far more friendly and secure.
While Roman is NOT guilty of the above grievances but one (AFAIK), I
condemn his refusal to cease hitting up on females, a DIRECT aid and
abetment of these more flagrant violations on Our Gay Sanctity.
I strongly suspect that (though evidence be entirely cir***stantial
albeit profuse and longterm) The Zodiac Disciples are behind much of
this, using street denizens as their spies, runners, dealers,
prostitutes, pimps and saboteurs. The many SF churches who preach
homophobic vitriole ALSO house, feed, and clothe the downtrodden,
contribute MIGHTILY to this cracker-thug terrorism on our streets. As
does hate talk radio that DAILY vilifies homo***uals with Nazi-style
propaganda. One host in particular stands out above the rest, and thus
is PROBABLY The Cult's Broadcasting Director for the entire Greater
Bay Area: Michael Savage of KNEW (9.10 AM).
Besides ubiquitous and often freely available newspapers, homeless
people can't afford other kinds of entertainment or info sources, but
one: the transistor radio. M. Savage KNOWS this, and plays them like
marionettes to do The Cult's bidding. Street people listen each
weekday afternoon from 4-7, to his FREQUENT and ROTE homophobic hate
speech. I even hear from time to time, the very same PHRASES and TERMS
among the homeless, that Savage bellows over the air.
I believe that this Cult Of The Zodiac Killer has grown very POWERFUL
over these last 30 years, to have formed an extensive NETWORK,
insinuating itself into all major public agencies on all levels. This
includes churches, political office, mainstream media (especially
radio), and LGBT organizations, bars, clubs and events. I ALSO believe
a certain segment of our POLICE DEPARTMENT participates in This Cult's
street networking, for profit and prostitution, drugs and power. Which
readily explains why so many wicked street denizens continue to get
away with their skulduggery year after year after tiresome year. A
very diabolical form of social engineering, controlled from the top on
down in a tightly enmeshed hierarchy. Certain police intentionally
promote select homeless to keep our gay populace in their place,
through terrorism, violence, and non-compliance e.g. failure to
rapidly respond to an emergency. (If they respond at all!)
Before ending this revelatory essay, I want to acknowledge the DECENT
homeless among us, who suffer horrid terrorism...surrounded and
totally vulnerable as they are, by These Zodiac Street Bullies. Due
acknowledgment also, to the GOOD cops in our force who have quite a
job ahead of them, to mop things up. (For which I hope my Friendly
Ghost tales will make Their Benevolent Though Brave Mission that much
easier, and safer.)
And finally: hats off to what EXCELLENT churches and media outlets
stand firm (though few and far between) against These Wicked Warlocks,
until said time when reinforcement arrives to ease their most
difficult, though sacred, burden.
Conclusion: Roman is The Cult's main provocateur along the Church
Street corridor.
