Solomons Bridge Jumper

He refuses to sit next to me at the Japanese steak house because I keep grabing his food off his plate, throwing it back on the grill screaming, "Ha-cha-cha... it's not done!"

You can't sit next to me either.

if the body hasnt been found and the person is unidentified then why is it a male?

Women are vain,
there is no way in hell that a woman is going to get her hair wet and look like crap when they find the body.
Its also why most women that kill themselves with a gun, shoot themselves in the chest.
Men don't give a crap, they jump into water and f up their hair, and they shoot themselves in the head.

water = Male.

1) this was her post: "Honest question here, Adam Lanza went into a school and killed all of those kids and teachers after killing his own mother and then killed himself. Should we feel bad for him?" Well, yes... this is her comparing this guy to a mass murderer.

2) Cowardice and selfpity has nothing to do with a brain's chemical imbalance and depression. It's a real medical condition, imo.

The poor guy tried to end his life today, and people feel more mad at him for the traffic delays.. wtf is wrong with people these days .

There's nothing more or less wrong with people than there ever was. They've always been as they were, are, and always will be.

The singular difference is mass communication.

Instead of shouting to the heavens and shaking their little fists at god, nearly anyone can climb onto the information superhighway and make asses out of themselves en masse.

SMNEWSNET had a post about it then it went POOF...

I think that even you can understand the difference between someone with a teminal disease choosing how it will end and someone so despondent that they'd jump off a bridge.

Like several others here, I, too, worked a suicide hotline out in California for a couple of years. People seldom suicide "impulsively." Stupidly, sometimes.

Most often, they have a plan, and if they have a plan, they're serious. Otherwise, they're engaging in attention-getting.

OK I choose you, I will text you a time and day, and you must bring someone so they can move your car. When you get to the bottom pull over to the curve and cut on the flashers, then you may leave. Oh and move quickly because VRail is behind you. TIA. Now I need to figure out what I want to jump for and what to wear, I don't want to mess up good shoes.

Not going to work. The girl can't even pump her own gas because of her anxiety over driving into gas stations (no offense, WR), so getting her to stop on top of the TJ bridge, or even drive up on it, ain't gonna happen. That'd be my guess, anyway.

thebaynet has something up.

Virus?

 

[BOP]

That's because the law doesn't exist. It is not illegal to commit or attempt suicide in Maryland. It is illegal to help someone else commit or attempt suicide.

Does that include people who drive at or below the speed limit in the left lane?

 

[bcp]

they assume anyone that jumps from up there must have huge balls...

not after he hits the water and the float but the rest of him doesn't

Starting to smell a rat.

Starting to smell a rat.

Why? Because he wasn't found? Last jumper wasn't found for over a week.

With cold water temperature it could be a while until enough gasses form to float him. When the water is it's warmest it can take as little as one day, but the water is still very cold.


Since he floated at first, we can assume he wasn't weighted.

Agree with you MMDad, water temp is still cool, will resurface.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and thankfully to some extent we still have freedom of speech in this country. However it saddens me that people so heartless as to be "inconvenienced" due to traffic backlog when someone decided to end their life. The lack of compassion makes me only hope that your life's work is with machines not people.

Well, that, and the total lack of coverage, as well as stories purportedly going *poof*.

But that's just me.

It was in the 80's for the last two days. What's the water temp? Got to be in the mid-50's. How warm does it need to be?

It's not a matter of needing a certain temperature, it's that the warmer it is the faster the body decomposes and builds up gasses. That happens even when it's really cold, it's just slower.

But remember, the water under the bridge is over 100' deep. If he's at the bottom it's really cold down there. If he floated to shallower water before sinking it'll be warmer.

I posted an article that mentions where he was from, what he was driving, etc etc

It was still early on when the first article disappeared. Maybe they jumped the gun in giving some details

Ditto- the heartlessness displayed here is apallling. Suicide is no laughing matter, especially when its you going through something so overwhelming that youre seeing ending your life as the only way out. Sickening. Its not a seflish act, its a crying out in desperation and getting no answer.

It most certainly IS a selfish act. They leave behind family and friends to mourn for them. Many leave behind spouses and children. Thanks to my cousin's decision to commit suicide in December, a two year old boy has to live without a father and the mother has to raise a child alone. I really cannot think of anything more selfish than leaving loves ones to pick up the pieces after you take the easy way out. Sorry, it's brutal but it is the damn truth.
