Is this the same guy that I regularly see skating down Stevens Creek Blvd with headphones on while shouting random stuff while ignoring pretty much every traffic law? Cuz I definitely don't feel safe around people that unpredictable.

But do you want to call the cops on him and throw him in jail, or would you prefer to do something constructive for him and the community?
do you want to wait until he has a manic episode and has a knife for some reason, or rapes someone? There is no "constructive" thing for this, apart form him being forced to get treatment if he won't do so willingly.

Usually if he's there long enough to be "the screaming skateboard guy" it isn't happening.

How on earth did you go from random shouting to “knives” and “rape”? Your attitude is part of the problem.
