- Eurynom0s, on 07/17/2009, -1/+15We're sure these aren't actually hipsters following the latest fad?
I mean, enough of them already look like they're on heroin as it is. - Zong, on 07/16/2009, -1/+10Aww hell nah I was looking to move to Williamsburg, god now I have to stay in Queens
- Pirate45, on 07/17/2009, -1/+9Stupid hipster scum.
- Gr1nch, on 07/17/2009, -0/+7Totally thought of the colonial recreation in Virginia. Major letdown.
- WhiteIce89, on 07/17/2009, -1/+8I can't tell the hobos from the upscale folk in Williamsburg.
- Omano, on 07/17/2009, -1/+7God bless your country.
- Doktag, on 07/17/2009, -3/+7Sounds like FUN to me.
- bicyclethief, on 07/17/2009, -4/+8Motion denied.
- Misinformant, on 07/17/2009, -1/+5lol hipsters
- diggopolous, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3Pulp Fiction 2009:
VINCENT: So you're serious, you're really gonna quit?
JULES: Most definitely.
VINCENT: So if you're quitting the life, what'll you do?
JULES: That's what I've been sitting here contemplating. I've decided, basically, I'm gonna walk the eart in Willliamsburg
VINCENT: What do you mean, walk the earth?
JULES: You know, like Caine in "KUNG FU", just go from Manhattan to Williamsburg wearing skinny jeans and doin smack and get in adventures.
VINCENT: So you decided to be a bum?
JULES: I'll just be a hipster -- no more, no less.
VINCENT: No Jules, without a job, residence, or legal tender you're gonna be a bum!
JULES: Look my friend, this is just where you and I differ -- Williamsburg is edgy
VINCENT: And when did you make this decision -- while you were sitting there eatin' your muffin?
JULES: Yeah. I was just sitting here drinking my coffee, eating my muffin, when I had what alcoholics refer to as a "moment of clarity." - Eorster, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3Welcome to the new US of A.
- MaxPowers, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3I agree.. The cool eras are coming back... when will Studio 54 and the cocaine be reintroduced?
- bicyclethief, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3Only at the Bedford stop of Williamsburg do I imagine these hobos descend.
- Barackalypse, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3How many of them do you suppose pay income tax on their begging?
- shicknannon, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3goddamn hipsters had it coming to the...
"oh heyyy lets just copy celeberty styles and then goto our concrete beach and then have a fake photo shoot yaaay, that would make us cool! hey check out my new $3 ray bans I got. they have sparkles! - Crownz0r, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2Just another source of cheap clothing for hipsters. Heroin>clothes.
- IvenomI, on 07/17/2009, -20/+22I'm sick and tired of seeing the word Hobo, Bum or transient. I want to put forth a motion to refer to these individuals by a more endearing name/title:
Freelance Urban Nomads.
Digg me up if you're for it, digg me down if you're not. - saranagati, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2My brain must have really got ***** up.... I read the entire article plus half the original one that it linked to before i realized it said Heroin-Addicted-Hobos and not Steroid-Addicted-Hobos. That would be one city that I really wouldn't want to go to out of fear.
- otbeverly, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2My first thought as well ... Why would hobos flock to Colonial Williamsburg? I guess the two have a little in common ... neither the Brooklyn squatters or Virginia recreation have electricity or indoor plumbing?
- JHB207, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2"The girls here like it that I'm dirty and I ride trains," he added. Quote of the year?
- villainousT, on 07/17/2009, -1/+3I can't stand williamsburg.. Nice restaurants and stuff but the area looks like crap and is expensive. Get real bang for your buck in Kensington.
- hasslinthehoff, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2For a minute there I thought they meant Williamsburg, Virginia, and I was like, finally something interesting to look at other than that damn Colonial Williamsburg crap.
- shicknannon, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1duckin hipters man...
- RAEP, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1Hey, at least they aren't tweakers.
- jaaames, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1Personally, I'm waiting on the next crack epidemic. I missed the last one by about three years.
- fribhey, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1a more endearing name/title would be: lazy ass drug addicted *****
- wassim2k, on 07/17/2009, -1/+2You know there's more than one Williamsburg in the country, you could have put that it was the one in NY in the title or description. I live in Williamsburg, VA and thought that we were being invaded by bums.
- alexanEmpire, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1Hipsters are like HIV. They are always mutating and adapting to whatever means of extermination.
- inactive, on 07/18/2009, -0/+0Williamsburg sucks. No park, hardly any trees, looks like crap AND it's expensive.....and all the people look exactly the same - the Stepford Hipsters is what I call them.
Anyway, Fort Greene BK is where it's at. - TecK415, on 07/17/2009, -3/+3Blah, this has been going on for a while, and it's not so bad.. I mean the ones that beg are annoying, but it's easy to ignore them. They blend in, there's crazy people everywhere in brooklyn, it's part of the ***** scenery. The rich yupies that dress and act poor to be in style are worse in my opinion, living in $4000 lofts right along the J because it's williamsburg, when just a few stops down you could get a place for 1/5 the price..
I live in Bed-stuy and and have some traveler friends that live in abandoned houses, there's this ***** awesome old run down church a bunch of people live in, and a convent. I don't see why people would put them down, they're just living they're life how they want to live it... Which is what everyone should do. - MastaQ, on 07/17/2009, -3/+2Change?
Chhhhhhhhaaaaannnnggggeeee?
/zombie hobo - jman583, on 07/17/2009, -4/+1We should call them sub-humans or just Russians.
