Sick SOBs in the UK urge suicidal teen to kill himself. He jumps, and dies.


"A BROKEN-HEARTED schoolboy leaped to his death from a multi-storey car park after callous onlookers shouted at him to JUMP. Police negotiators had been trying to talk 17-year-old Shaun Dykes down from a ledge over the 60ft drop. But when he heard the “disgusting taunts” from the crowd below, Shaun told cops: “It’s gone too far.” Then he began counting down from ten before throwing himself off. "

2. How sad...makes you wonder what was going on in his life
that was so bad as to make him jump

Those fuckers who were egging him on should have the fucking snot beaten out of them IMHO

5. Personally,
I think they should have been arrested and charged with interfering in a police action. Or, maybe with assisting a suicide.

I have no idea if those things are crimes in the UK, but these creeps should be made to pay..... somehow.....!

4. People who think it's funny to yell for someone to jump
should feel that kind of misery at some point and be on the other side. x(

That kind of callousness, and having no concern for someone else in a crisis really is disturbing.

6. Sad story. How people can encourage someone to die is sick.
My sister committed suicide. There is not a day that goes by when I don't think of her. :cry:
