Frank Chu

Eccentrics

Frank Chu is one of San Francisco’s best-known eccentrics. His street protests against US Presidents, corporations, and a distinctive concept he calls the 12 Galaxies have been held in San Francisco and nearby locales since at least 1995. In early  1985, Chu, then 24 years old, took 11 members of his family hostage in his home in Oakland and was reported to have beaten one or more with his fists.
