Jumpers on bridges
Lets face it, we all feel sorry for people who are down and out, ready to jump off our city's fair bridges. But today, a man took 5 hours on the second narrows to get his shit together and come down. When that was done, someone else threatened to jump off the lions gate. Traffic in Vancouver was in gridlock today.
These acts of disregard for the community and other people's lives invites criticism; how selfish are you that you need to attract this much attention to yourself? Myself, I was on my way to Richmond from SFU -on transit - for a community outreach program with Sport BC. Because of these turds on the bridges, I wonder how many others doing good work, contributing to society, and helping others were affected. If these people actually wanted to kill themselves, they would jump before anyone could stop them. These people just wanted attention - and stopping a whole city is a hugely selfish act.

I might come across heartless because I am... but if they want to jump let them jump.
They made the concious decision to go and put themselves in that position. Why am I to change that. If they don't want to jump then I am sure they have enough brainpower to get back into a safe position. Inconveniencing a few thousand people with no end result is just a waste of people time. That's 5 hours I'll never get back and I really had a lot of things to do.

the guy that took five hours made me miss an important class cuz i couldn't get to n.van..fuck!thanx for being selfish..now that u didn't kill urself..i'm sure hundreds of ppl wanna kill u!
i think the guy who tried to jump off the lions gate bridge was goin crazy from being stuck in traffic so long... my sister was in traffic for 2hrs and just about to get on the lions gate and then they closed it..she was SO pissed off cuz she couldn't get to work..but that was kinda funny for me cuz she called me with hourly updates.. if i were to commit suicide..i'd do it privately..then there would be no one to persuade me otherwise..why all the attention..why bridges?

Listening to the fox today...apparently it wasn't a jumper.....It was one of those divorced dads dressed up as batman/robin protesting for the fathers rights of custody after a divorce.
What an ass....make a sign and walk around city hall like everybody else.

'attempted suicide' is most often a cry for help for people who feel hopeless and have nowhere left to turn. The ones that really do take their own lives often provide very few telltale signs before it actually happens. If someone wants to take their own life there's quicker ways to do it that attract far less attention.

If I was stuck on a Bridge for 5 Hours I'd push the depressed emo bugger making me late for work. If you want to jump, just do it... If you want to live, go somewhere else to be depressed, not on a major arterial Road. There are places for you to talk to people. My Cold yet efficient opinion.

^ Beats me, I'm not Suicidal. I've seen ads on Transit so there are places. High School Counselors and what not.

so youve never felt like there was no way out?
screaming out for attention at the top of your lungs, afraid that all youve worked for will be forgotten because you are only an insignificant blip on the radar have you ever thought that things would be simpler if you were never born and all your mistakes will never be forgiven or forgotten and your life will only get worse from here People who attempt suicide are not themselves, wrapped up in depression, clouded with fear and sadness. Of course its a cry for attention but sometimes we need to undrestand the situation before we berate people who are doing the best that they can do with what they have. We are all flawed, we are all selfish. But in a matter of life and death Id rather stew in stand still traffic than force someone to end something that can be so meaningful. I just hope whoever it was gets help.

Twice in my life I thought of ending it early. I beat it. All these choices are decisions that you yourself make. In my opinion depression is as much a state of mind as anything else. One can choose to be depressed, one can also choose to be happy. It is within your power to control how you feel and how you react to any situation life sends your way. Maybe I've come to some clarity that others don't see or will never understand. But making a scene on a bridge, in my opinion, is a waste of my time and everybody elses.

did they release his name in the news? i want to go kick the shit out of this shumuck for fucking up my day! what a piece of shit! i have no simpathy for suiciding attention whores, if i were to ever seriously consider suicided i'd go spend all my money to fly across the world. And then if i still feel like killing myself, i'd go die with all the fun drugs i can find!

Having worked as a crisis counsellor, my heart goes out to anyone who is at the point in their life when they are thinking about ending it. I think junglequeen hit it right on the head...Most of the people that have posted in this thread are really REALLY ignorant about the mindstate of people who are thinking about suicide...It is NOT a cry for attention, it is a cry for help...There is a HUGE difference between the two...If you want attention, there are way better ways to do it then threatening to kill yourself...It's this fucked up attitude of uncaring that makes the world such a shitty place to live in. How about before you start condemning people who might need a little bit of caring in their life, you actually THINK about why they may be feeling that way. Sometimes the attitude that people have towards one another makes me sick... If not, go and volunteer for kids help phone for a couple of months and then see if you can't be held up in traffic for a few hours while someone gets the help they need to save their life!

That's right - the suicidal guy whose life is totally collapsing around him is the selfish one, not you whiney bitches who missed out on one tiny slice of your daily routine (shit! I couldnt go shopping today!)
To assume that its all just a big act to get attention is to admit you know shit all about mental illness.
