A transit police officer told Kreimer, who is homeless, to stop loitering in Newark Penn Station in October 2007. Kreimer was not issued a summons.

...

Transit police officers used the city's anti-loitering law to get him to leave, said George and Lydia Cotz, a Mahwah husband-and-wife law firm representing Kreimer in U.S. District Court in Newark.

...

"There had been other people who were seen in Penn Station who were sitting there for the same amount of time Kreimer was, and yet NJ Transit has continuously and selectively cited him," said Lydia Cotz, who said the loitering law is unconstitutional. "Simply sitting alone in a public space can't be considered a crime without any overt criminal activity on part of the person."

In 2006, Kreimer dropped a similar lawsuit against the city of Summit and NJ Transit. In that suit, he said he and other homeless people were illegally tossed out of train stations. Kreimer eventually dropped the suit, saying he had reached an out-of-court settlement.

Kreimer gained notoriety in 1991 after winning a $230,000 settlement from Morristown after he was barred from the library. Library officials asked Kreimer to leave the Joint Free Public Library because of his hygiene and his behavior.

...

Since then, Kreimer has run for the mayor of Morristown, sued the city of Woodbury in southern New Jersey and moved briefly to Colorado.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

Boy oh boy...I love this state.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard
