Distraught Teenager goaded into leaping to his death. :(

If the guy was an ethnic im pretty sure the people shouting to jump would've been arrested on the spot then classed as racists. Do i have proof of this ? no , but i damn well feel it would be that way.

Poor bloke :(

this is true, but two officers on the building and one doing crowd control and cordonning is urine poor by any standard. combine that with the fact that the cordon was too close and should have been set up so as to not let the public within range of the lad. from my understanding the public was twenty or so feet away, many using their mobiles to film his body after he had jumped.

Can you point me to where the number of Police Officers is documented I can not see it?
 
don't see the problem tbh, as for racism, wtf you on. if someone shouting jump makes you jump off a building you have bigger issues. not very compassionate I agree as the guy is likely already messed up but the blame lies with the police if anyone. they should control the crowd.

unfortunately not without re reading everything as i read near a dozen different news reports to try to get more info. youl notice the BBC makes no mention of him being gay either but this too was reported across a few of the articles.

i.e. never get your news from just one source and youl pottentially get a clearer picture.

Unless the suicide can be directly attributed to his sexuality why would the BBC report it?

I personally doubt very much that that only two Police Officers were involved.

The blame lies with the morons shouting jump, you can scrutinize all you want about who did what wrong but it's depressing when a person wants another human being to end his life just because he wants to "see somfin cool innit! and i got it on me phone too...bangin!"

Mr Creedon explained that there had not been enough police officers available to arrest those onlookers urging the teenager to jump.

two officers or twenty, not enough is not enough.
 
Thats the general public, they'll stand around without thinking about anyone else, just to see the body mangle when it hits the ground because they're selfish ********.

No one thinks about it any more. Sad state of affairs.
 
Did they cheer when he finally jumped?

Morally outrageous, is it legally okay in the eyes of the law though? I'd like to know.
I know if you see someone drowning, you are under no obligation to help them unless it's in your job description for example.

If I'd have been there I probably would have assaulted a few people to shut thm up. :\
 
Is it on YouTube yet?


....on a more serious note, these people make me ******* sick. Who the hell in their right mind stands there and tells an obviously upset person to jump? Any decent person would simply leave the scene and let the police do their jobs, or offer some kind of encouragement to the chap.

I wonder if any of them even screamed when he hit the pavement. Probably more giggles than anything. ******* animals.
 
they say jump...he jumps off a building

if he was such a danger to himself he shouldnt have been let loose on the streets.
 
"Some onlookers even used phones to film the event."

******* disgusting. wish I hadnt opened the thread, seriously what is it with every **** now and whipping the phone out to film whatever is happening.

It was only a couple of weeks ago that a member on here threatened to kill him as people on her encouraged him to do it.

Lets not pretend that this place is the bastion of moral righteousness.
