An Important Safety Tip For The Suicidal
By Wyatt Earp | May 24, 2009
Do not attempt to jump off a bridge in Guangzhou, China!
BEIJING - Chen Fuchao, a man heavily in debt, had been contemplating suicide on a bridge in southern China for hours when a passer-by came up, shook his hand — and pushed him off the ledge.
Oh, I’m sorry, but that’s friggin’ awesome! And yes, I know that I am going to Hell.
Chen fell 26 feet onto a partially inflated emergency air cushion laid out by authorities and survived, suffering spine and elbow injuries, the official Xinhua News Agency said Saturday.
The passer-by, 66-year-old Lai Jiansheng, had been fed up with what he called Chen’s “selfish activity,” Xinhua said. Traffic around the Haizhu bridge in the city of Guangzhou had been backed up for five hours and police had cordoned off the area.
“I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest,” Lai was quoted as saying by Xinhua. “They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.” (LINK)
After reading his comments, can anyone honestly argue with Lai’s reasoning?
I guarantee you one thing: Once this story gets around, a lot of people will think twice before trying to jump off a bridge. And if it saves just one person . . .

Yes, as you and I both know customarily these assholes just want attention and sympathy and, at that point, no one has been willing to listen due to their primary uselessness.
Lai doesn’t lie.

BZ - Good point. I guess this tool learned an important lesson.
