Suicide jumper pushed off bridge
Source: Sydney Morning Herald (Oz)
A man in southern China has been taken into police custody after pushing a would-be suicide jumper off a bridge frequented by people threatening to end their lives, state press reported.
Lai Jiansheng was detained by police for pushing a man named Chen off the bridge in Guangzhou city that has been the site of 12 suicide attempts since the beginning of April, the China Daily said...
"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their actions violate a lot of public interests," the paper quoted Lai as saying.
Lai, upset with the traffic delay, broke through the police cordon on the bridge, walked up to Chen and shook his hand before pushing him off the bridge, it said.

How can it be attempted murder? (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=3890494&mesg_id=3890494)
Maybe something for the people in the Mental Health forum to contemplate...

This is the good Samaritan that cleared up traffic. The gentleman gave him a fine salute as he fell. :rotf:

Why would anyone in China want to kill themselves? Don't they have free health care for all?

20. As the jumper complained in "The Incredibles"...
after Mr. Incredible saved him mid-air, post-jump...
Mr. Incredible says "Hey! I saved your life!"
The jumper yells back, "You didn't save my life! You ruined my death!"

Being involved in traffic jams in Atlanta because some asshole wants to get attention by standing on a f'n bridge, THANK YOU SIR! He's exactly right. If these f'n idiots want to kill themselves, do it on your own time. You want attention and are depressed? Go to a ****ing clinic.

Bwahahahahahahaha! Now that's funny!
So ya say ya want to kill yourself. Well, get it the **** over with asshat! I gots to get to work!

The link to the Aussie newspaper doesn't work for me. But, what the story doesn't tell you, that Fox & Friends did, is that the bridge is only 26 feet high, and the authorities had managed to get a huge air bag inflated under the jumper before he jumped. So, the jumper survived, probably without a scratch.

I guess that explains the somewhat-tepid attitude the Chinese cops seemed to be taking to it in the story.

Any of you DC area guys remember the guy who was threatening to jump from the Wilson bridge during evening rush hour? People were driving(if you can call it that at that time of the day) yelling at him to jump. :lmao:

45. Well, at least he shook his hand first.
How many would-be assassins do you know who are that polite?

Suicidal? No. Attention whore? Oh yeah.

Let's ask this American about his opinion of "torture". I'll bet he would love to be "waterboarded" instead. He could go home to his family.
