Man fleeing London attack with beer in hand becomes unlikely symbol of London pride |
2017-06-05 |
![]() A young man who fled yesterday's terrorist attacks with a pint of beer in hand has become something of an internet hero. The photo, which has been retweeted over 28,000 times, features the man fleeing from the scene with a pint of beer in hand. For some, the photo provided a moment of profoundly dark comedy on a day otherwise entirely colored by tragedy. "People fleeing #LondonBridge but the bloke on the right isn't spilling a drop. God Bless the Brits!" Howard Mannella, who posted a photo of the tweet, wrote. People couldn't help but feel a little twinge of pride upon seeing a fellow Londoner refuse to leave his beer behind, despite the danger around him. |

#4 He's probably broken a pint over someones head once or twice when a soccer match went bad. That may be a pint to most people, but its a weapon as well. |

#1 It sounded like empty beer mugs were the most prevalent and effective means of self defense available to Londoners. The trick is to empty it first. |
