Renton 18049 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 9 times out of ten its attention seeking as people who really want to commit suicide will already have done it by a more quick, efficient and discreet method away from the public eye. So Gemmill is right, either get on with it or stop messing everybody else lives up as well!!! I would tend use the term "cry for help" rather than "attention seeking" tbh. Crying for help armed with a gun though? I think you're probably right, and you have to have some pity for an individual that feels for whatever reason that they need to do something like that, but it's still fucking annoying. What happened in the end anyway? Did he hoy himself off? If he had a gun they were justified in shooting him down imo. If he'd only gone on the millenium they could have just tilted him off. In fact they could have just kept tilting him up and down until he made his mind up. Got a mental image of them trying to shake him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't jump though? I would have given him 10 minutes for 3 options - come down, jump, or get shot. Sorted. Renton is Dirty Harry. I agree in a way like - it definitely shouldn't have taken them 8 hours to sort it out. Shoot the fucker in the cobblers with some rubber bullets and cart him off to a mental home. That's what I'd have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have been wearing a baseball cap with a perfectly flat peak if that was the case. First day of negotiator training that.

Alright, I grant you that, I was under the impression the police knew this was not the case but I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 There was another one last night who jumped on the bandwagon (no pun intended) This one was decisive enough to jump, but not good enough at it to actually kill himself. Ended up in hospital with injuries instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just get tipped off from time to time when there's an incident in progress so we can be ready for the ensuing mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
