I think that's awesome.

If the guy really planned on jumping, who cares if he jumped or got pushed.

Lian Jiansheng, 66, who was passing by the bridge, offered to talk Chen down, Xinhua said. Police refused, but Lian broke through the police cordon and climbed to where Chen was sitting.

Lian greeted Chen with a handshake, then pushed him off the bridge, Xinhua said.

Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially-inflated emergency air cushion, damaging his spine and elbow in the fall, Xinhua said. He is now recovering in a hospital.

I loled.

Unless he can prove that he knew there was a "partially-inflated emergency air cushion" deployed, the pusher should be charged with attempted murder. Pushing someone to their death because you are impatient with a traffic delay is obscene.

I couldn't agree more. The fact that someone is contemplating their own suicide probably means they arent going to kill themselves.* This bloke pushing the jumper is sick...especially just because he was in traffic.


* - This is clearly a guide and is in no way influenced by the fact that I once said something similar about someone who was threatening to throw himself in front of a train...and who subsequently did.

Bullshit. When you push Mr. Lopez off the deck in Fallout 3 you just get negative karma, but the guards don't pursue you.

Bah.

Pushing someone to their death because you are impatient with a traffic delay is obscene.I agree. While I certainly understand the frustration and I agree with the pusher's sentiment the "selfish" jumper didn't deserve an impromptu execution and even if he did, I would hope that fact would be determined by more than one frustrated 66 year old.

It's not that I don't see the ironic humor in it, I do. But I'm a bit appalled that someone (no matter how irritated and frustrated by anothers irrational behavior) would literally and unapologetically push someone off a bridge. This is the ultimate in road rage.

Meh, I disagree.

If you contemplate suicide enough to actually make it to the bridge you are going to jump off, then you have thought about it enough to act on it.

Sometimes people just need a hand to reach their dreams.


And I dont see it as one person was sick of sitting in traffic... I see it as the suicide jumper was negatively effecting the lives of [xyz] people by his lame attempt and personal contemplation. Either do it, or dont - don't waste everyones lives because you're indecisive.

And inconveniencing XYZ lives doesn't deserve a death sentence which is what shoving someone off a bridge might amount to. Just because a person is sick and irrational he doesn't deserve to be assaulted for holding up traffic.

I'm going to start carrying a gun when there is any possibility I might have to stand in a line somewhere. I hate lines.
