"there is nothing shameful about eating out of dumpsters"- Tommy Tooter
Tommy Tooter is a homeless man who is active on the internet.
He has dreams of striking it rich making money off the internet so that he need not go out on the street and blow his saxophone for money.
Oh, and he posted his SSN on a public usenet group before. This is an intelligent thing to do and will no way backfire on him.
Tommy makes the news
Tommy is mentioned in the paper in 1987 as the homeless man who has been around for five years, and was shot in the spleen while foraging for a half-eaten sandwich in the dumpster where he routinely deposits his shit wrapped up in a newspaper.
—Thomas Jay Wasserberg |
However, he immediately started a howling match with another guy whom he perceived as not quite having America as his home.
August 23, 1987|ALAN CITRON | Times Staff Writer . Thomas J. Wasserberg, gaunt and sunburned after spending five years in and around Venice, called homelessness a myth. "The term "homelessness" is vicious propaganda," Wasserberg said, just before getting involved in a bitter screaming match with a merchant. "America is everybody's home." Yet the Wasserbergs of the world are still largely regarded as pariahs by more conventional segments of the community.
November 12, 1987|ALAN CITRON | Times Staff Writer . Los Angeles police said that Thomas J. Wasserberg, 33, who lives at a beach encampment at the foot of Rose Avenue, was shot in the spleen on Monday afternoon while foraging for food in an alley at Sunset Court near the beach. Wasserberg is in fair condition at UCLA Medical Center.
Tommy's facebook
Here is Tommy's facebook page. He complains in it of his writing getting yanked off and posted in blogs and forums and this page. He sometimes gets into slanging matches and his page gets deleted for abusive and threatening content.
An example of Tommy making friends and influencing people:
The old one was here:Tommy Tooter's page on facebook It is filled with what he considers interesting, like this picture:
Tommy wants a primitive sort of population control, like unwanted pets get put down or sterilized. This is him shooting his keyboard off, on facebook.
Gallery
Mugshots
Tommy gets arrested so often, an image search for his name throws up his many expressions on the many mugshots he has up on the web.
He admits to using drugs prior to getting arrested:
—Tommy Tooter |
He explains that he had the money for bail, but was thrown in jail for technical reasons:
—Tommy Tooter |
Tommy Tooter was featured in the Austin Statesman's slideshow.
Literary Efforts
Tommy Tooter joined various forums on the web, always with the aim of earning money off his literary efforts. He claimed to have unique and entertaining media to post, but always copy/pasted stuff without reading them first, and then went ballistic and abusive when asked to explain the media he had brought in.
Like a cat bringing in the decomposed corpse of a long dead mouse.
With great pride.
Sometimes, very rarely, he would provide glimpses into the Hobo lifestyle. Like at theranter.com:
—Tommy Tooter |
He wants his daddy to go beat up the bullies
—Tommy Tooter |
He can't handle detractors on his own or reply logically when people poke holes in his arguments. So he joins yet another forum and tries to drag the people there into his fight.
Soliciting money for Homosexual encounters, also being a tranny
He is actually a female:

It might just be a story he made up to entertain, however.
—Tommy Tooter |
Of course, he has an ally that watches out for him:

To nobody's surprise, the pathetic pedophile that is Tommy lusts over 13 year old girls as long as they are "legal". He also pulled the classic "I didn't know she was 14 that many pedophiles use when they are caught:
