    Seriously???? Everyone is jumping for joy? He got what he wanted? Wtf is wrong w people? So no one could go in to save him, but they could go on to retrieve his dead body? Makes sense to me! And they were right to not go in because he could have been a threat? Um, so going into a burning building isn't? And none of these 75 bystanders who weren't "handcuffed" so no need to go in? Until after he's dead? Something seriously muffed up w people.
    Yeah I've got to agree with you.
    Yeah' date=' suicide is a cry for help. This man wanted and most likely needed help

    but instead the man died while everyone watched. :nono:

    Most everyone's comments in this thread are equally disturbing.[/quote']

    An attempted and usually failed attempt is indeed a cry for help and attention' date=' this man was in the water for an hour, waiting for someone to give a damn and help him,

    maybe show some regard for human life, but instead the heartless bastards just watched and let him take his life. :nono:

    I look at this as a test of human compassion, and everyone there failed.

    I hope they sleep ok at night knowing they watched someone die and could have helped but did nothing.

    BTW, I do not condone what this guy did, or suicide as an answer, but I definitely don't agree that doing nothing was the right answer.[/quote']

    Exactly! Of the 75 bystanders, not to mention the professionals on site, you would hope SOMEONE would step up and do the right, honorable thing. Not trained?? BS. Where are the true men? The fellow man who actually cares for his. "neighbor". Instead it's just their entertainment for the day. It was indeed a cry for help

    For those that say he got what he deserved. What would u do if it was your dad, son, or brother?

    Truly dis heartening

    Point is that I'm sure out of close to 100 people, I'm sure SOMEONE knew how to swim and was able

    to save him. No, I'm not suggesting someone w no training who would certainly die, attempt to save him. Nor am I trying to make light of the training, or lack thereof. But again, surely someone, especially in a group of first responders, knew how to swim. I'd like to think if I saw someone drowning on a beach I'd do

    my best to help. Though I guess according to some, I'd have to aak him first if he's trying to commit suicide.

    Ok to you armchair wanna be heros. Most of you here know I'm a Firefighter/Medic on 2 dept's .... That being said, I'd stand there and let him go too. My life is more important than that of someone who wants to commit suicide. I have taken water rescue classes, have you clowns condeming thier actions taken those classes???? It's the rescuer who usually drowns too either from the struggle or hypothermia. Take shit all you want but when it comes time to jump into 50 degree water to save someone who wants to die let me see you man up and do it, I'll watch you drown too. Am I cold and heartless, well maybe so. I have saved lives before and I've taken big risks doing so. I have fallen thru a floor of a burning house and I've went into the water too....to save people who didnt want to be there and that didnt want to die! You wanna kill yourself go right ahead I'm not gonna stop you. An innocent victim on the other hand I'll be the first one to try and help. Bash on fucktards, if you are man enough to do the job well go get your fire and emt cards and I'll put you on a truck with me for a few shifts and see if your opinion changes.

    I think it sounds like your welcome has officially wore out here Ringo. I did see some hope for you after our ride but you seem to find a way with every thread to dig yourself a deeper hole. You prolly otta pack up and leave. Nobody is gonna cut you any slack anymore.
