there are several people that walk around Bart stations preaching religion like this guy

Crazy Samoan Preacher that uses a megaphone, he talks so randomly that it's hard to make out what he's talking about?

There is one guy that is always around the Powell Station... I often wonder do they actually think they are generating followers with this method lol. It's quite funny to see though.

I'm not sure you draw a line between these three subject matters, but there is often also politics and crazy mixed into the sermon...

at the 16th & Mission and 24th & Mission Bart stations it seems there is always somebody preaching in Spanish, but they usually dress in nicer clothing / suits.

I wonder why they keep preaching the same old news? everybody has heard the same stuff over and over?

Because they are generally mentally ill. I have an in- law that is bi-polar and will go on rants (usually religious in nature) when he's in a manic phase.

What's funny is how everyone acts like he doesn't exist.

Even in the boonies up here, there's a guy who plays guitar and sings at the top of his lungs outside the post office almost every day. Fortunately, he can at least carry a tune.

I remember when I was young, it was the Hare Krishnas everywhere. They especially targeted airports back then, trying to get people to buy their flowers.
