laughing at someone attempting suicide.

But he wasn't attempting suicide.
He just climbed up on a motorway bridge and sat there for a few hours, holding up all the traffic. The services are honour bound not to manhandle him off there, but the passer-by wasn't, so he helped. They had a big bouncy castle waiting for him - it's not like the guy tried to kill him or anything. He knew they mentalist was perfectly safe.
