Video Captures Passerby Pushing Suicidal Man From Chinese Bridge

"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest."

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. Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) 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.

Miss-leading! Everyone lived and all is well now…

Nice to see so much community work going into saving this poor fellow :)

The jumper reminds me of the rethug party. Can the we hire the “passerby” to help out? We’re getting tired of the rethugs throwing fits just so they can get some attention. Just jump and end it rethugs. Spare us from all the drama associated with your timely demise.

The man did receive injuries as the mat was not fully inflated.

What, what, what!

The jumper probably had no choice. He probably found out his US dollars were completely useless after the “dimo-critically” controlled Congress and the Executive branch mortgaged the US government into oblivion. He doesn’t have to be a “rethug” to realize that he’s gotten a raw deal.

We had neo-comms like you predicting the demise of the Republican Party in 1976, and again in 1992.

How did that work out for you libtards?

The Obama can heal the man of his back injury with a wave of His Holy hand.
Praise to The Obama!
Actually, The Obama could, in theory, turn time backwards to the point
where the man was pushed.
