- bryanrasmussen 4y agonot so fast, people vomit a lot under bridges here in Copenhagen, Denmark as well.
- dazc 4y agoWould a Danish person say he was vomitting under a bridge as if was it the most normal thing to be doing though?
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoaccording to the Swedes it's about the only thing we do over here. also, yeah.
- InCityDreams 4y agoOh, that Copenhagen.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agodidn't want any confusion with the one in NY.
- thrwyoilarticle 4y agoAre quite a lot of them British?
- bryanrasmussen 4y agono, also a quote from Shakespeare is appropriate here: "This heavy headed revel east and west Makes us traduc'd, and tax'd of other nations; They clepe us drunkards, and with swinish phrase Soil our addition; and indeed it takes From our achievements, though perform'd at height, The pith and marrow of our attribute." Now I always thought that was Shakespeare's sly little dig at his own country's reputation, but some years ago I was reading and presumably it was because the Danish royal court had visited England the year before the writing of Hamlet, and been scandalously drunk the whole time they were there.
- throwawaycities 4y agoThe entire list of victims makes the article read like something from The Onion. The guy agreeing to go down the alley to buy cocaine from a group of strangers, the guy that got “pick-pocketed” while at the pub, to the anon vomiting under a bridge…where I am from the guy randomly vomiting under a bridge doesn’t have a phone much less $30k in crypto on it. It just doesn’t seem plausible a random thief sees someone under a bridge vomiting and reasonably thinks that victim has untraceable crypto on his phone.
- Ekaros 4y agoIt depends. If the vomiting guy is well dressed in what could be considered expensive or stylish and clean clothes it is an excellent target. Probably someone with money and lessened ability to protect themselves. Also might be doing some drugs or other things which also makes contacting police less likely.
