JUMPER...GW Bridge NYC...holding up traffic, disrupting hundreds of thousands

[opihimoimoi]

commuters/business,

Police approaching him....might be a terrorist...he got something in his hands....

Standby...they be shooting the Fool soon....

[Captain Hilts]

1. He hasn't got the right to paralyze the city. nt

[BeyondGeography]

3. On another note

have you noticed that the NY Post is starting to call Moqtada al Sadr, "Mookie"?

[Captain Hilts]

13. No! This Mook avoids that rag. Is this a reference to the Spike Lee version of Mookie? nt

[BeyondGeography]

14. That's too obscure a reference

I'm afraid they're borrowing this guy's name:

[Captain Hilts]

20. Fielded cleanly, Buckner still isn't going to beat Mook to the bag. The NYPost is a Met paper..

but I still won't read it.

5. So, they should just shoot him?

?????????????????????????????? :crazy: No, I know that's not what you are suggesting...

Still, it seems a little absurd to suggest someone who maybe mentally ill or suicidal "hasn't got the right to paralyze the city." Sort of like arguing that a two year old ought to be "more responsible"...:shrug:

[kikiek]

6. Someone suicidal and threatening to jump should be sure they do it where they don't distrupt the

rest of us. Geez what is he thinking? Maybe someone needs to get the chant "jump" to help get things moving again.

[Captain Hilts]

12. It means the cops have a right to step in and stop him.

I'm not advocating shooting him. .

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. Stopping people from getting to their precious jobs

He deserves the death penalty...

:eyes:

American society: fucked at its root.

[opihimoimoi]

4. I know peeps who would suggest they shoot the dude....

[malaise]

8. Frightening isn't it n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. I know several assholes myself

:shrug:

[opihimoimoi]

7. The Policia finally got him....traffic resumes....took an hour plus

[KharmaTrain]

10. Check To See If He Has TB

Then send every reporter to interview everyone who every knew him...we never can get enough of those "he was a nice guy...kinda quiet".

Sheesh...my local shopper has more world news than CNN these days.

Cheers...

:hi:

[razzleberry]

11. was he directly over traffic?

I wouldn't want him to mess up my car, or me

[sharp_stick]

15. He would have been over the river

Damn but I'm glad I didn't need to go there today, it's bad enough at the best of times on a business day.

[razzleberry]

18. then why was traffic stopped? .n/t

[sharp_stick]

19. They always close the road to traffic for a jumper

the fire/police/medical crews take up the road. Besides, I sometimes also think the NYPD gets some sort of perverse pleasure knowing that people from Jersey are backed up to Atlantic City on the NJ Turnpike. ;-)

[woodsprite]

16. Rats! I was briefly excited seeing "jumper" and "GW" in the same sentence.
