Swans are very non-judgemental, to be fair.

Keith Thurston, 36, was found sitting on a fountain in the middle of Lake Eola at 4am, police said, according to the Orlando Sentinel.


The police reported that he had taken a ‘large quantity’ of MDMA tablets, and ‘wanted to go be with the swans because they don’t judge him.’

Thurston had stolen a swan boat to get out to the island, but had failed to tie it up and it had drifted away.



He was taken to hospital after the police found him screaming for help.
