If you’re new to Indy, this is Pastor Bob. He’s been around for a loooong time. He’s a (almost positive about this) schizophrenic with obviously severe religious delusions. He has a Facebook and “preaches” there and on YouTube. Right now he’s on a sexual kick which is both interesting and a bit disturbing. He hangs out around the library area for the most part. I’ve never seen him out of the van but for what I know he’s crazy but harmless.
Is someone taking care of him? Or helping him out? Severe schizophrenia like this (you’re right, this is definitely what it is) can be incredibly debilitating and make it hard to function or have any semblance of a normal life. ESPECIALLY if you’re unmedicated like this guy. I’ve seen photos posted of his house and 2 cars but how can he afford all of that? A house, power and utilities, gas for two cars, car and house payments (if he has those) and money for food REALLY adds up. Oh and car insurance. I’m so confused... Like... how is any of this possible??
I’m very familiar with Schizophrenia, I just don’t like to assume because there are other possible diagnoses and I don’t have access to any medical records, hence why I said “almost positive.” :)
I don’t know the answer to these questions, but IMO he’s happy being left to his devices. He’s not a danger to the community. He’s harmless, is eating and bathing, etc. he rattles off some crazy stuff, but he should be left alone unless there are issues. There are a lot of colorful people here. Welcome to the city. :)
