BBC News article with video.
If they made this policy I reckon you'd get a lot less of it!

He was hardly a 'passer by'.
The 'passer by' had to climb up to the man. What the feck were the police doing letting him go up there?

Years ago in my hometown there was a suicidal woman standing on the top of a building threatening to jump.
A largish crown stood watching whilst the coppers tried to talk her down. Soon a group of youths started chanting 'JUMP JUMP JUMP...' and it wasn't long before the whole crown joined in.
The coppers went mental. Happy days.

We had a cutter/emo type way back in the '80s when we used to call them teenagers
kept turning up at every party and pub event uninvited and whinge on and one and ON about how he was going to kill himself 'cos the world was so terrible and we were killing the rain forests and lovely fluffy animals and we were all so blinkered to the REAL world problems in far away lands blah blah blah...
One day (after a few beers) I just said 'Go on then, do it now!' and handed him knife (a steak knife off a plate) and after much threats, whining, stand offs and finally tears he threw the knife down and left.
If you were REALLY gonna do it A: You wouldn't be standing in front of everyone announcing it every weekend and B: You wouldn't be a vegan out to save the planet and spread the word about endangered species and the plight of people you haven't even met, you wouldn't give a FUCK about anything like that, or indeed anyone at all, least of all yourself, and if you ever get that low the way people behave is COMPLETELY different, they just stop giving a fuck and do crazy risky shite no one in their right mind would ever do or start selling/giving away everything they own, so when you see THAT in a good mate, start to worry!

this is what happens a lot
I think this is why they try to clear people away from jumpers, after a while the crowds start to chant 'jump'then they all join in.
We're so predictable.
scary huh?
