In case you didn't know it, 'Romas' are what we all call gypsys. They have no country to speak of, and they're a major pain in the ass wherever they go. I've seen it first hand.
We were in Italy a few years ago in Pisa to see the Leaning Tower, which, by the way, was incredibly underwhelming, but anyway, while we were walking back to our car, a group of seven or eight gypsy women approached us, surrounding us. One of them had a very young baby in her arms, and kept going up to my wife saying 'Want to hold my baby? Hold my baby!
As this was happening, I saw one of them try to lift my friend Jack's wallet. I reached across the 'mother' and punched the pickpocket broad square in the jaw, knocking her to the ground. Just as I hit her, a couple of Italian cops (Carabinieri) came running up, broke up the group and arrested the woman with the baby and the one I suckered. Justice served. Other than that, it was a pretty nothing day. If ya go to Italy, keep an eye on your wallet - and your cell phone (front pocket is best). Those fuckin' gypsys are everywhere over there...

A friend’s grandmother survived the Nazi death camps; she had the tattoo and scars to prove it. At a dinner one night and without any prompting she said - Hitler was a son of a bitch but he was right about the gypsies. After several minutes of stunned silence, everyone finished their dinners.
ReplyDeleteThe gypsies are likely the NICEST of the folks who have INFESTED Europe.
ReplyDeleteyeah, they have always been a problem. not so much back in the 1970's though. only ran into them in Rome. 78
ReplyDeletedidn't see any in the north. none in Venice when I was there. 4 months in 77.
I lived in a small English village. Shoplifting and trash left was mindboggling when they parked their caravans at the fair park.
ReplyDeleteThe gypsies were working the airport train station in Paris back in the 80's. I had a belly bag under my shirt with my ID's, wallet, and travel tickets. I had a notepad in my rear pocket that got lifted in one of the stairwells. I had it at the bottom but it was gone when I got to the top. I didn't recall anybody being within an arms length of me on the stairs.
