Small wank in the edinburgers community on LJ.
First ever wank so be ever so gentle!

Background:

Edinburgh has recently been provided with the spectacle of a potential suicide jumper who was planning to jump off North bridge (which goes over the station and thus provides a picturesque drop through a glass roof and into the station below).

The police closed the bridge and part of the station while they talked him down over a period of about two days. He is now safely down and in hospital.

The Wank:

lecabinet makes an informative post in edinburgers and all is relatively civil with updates and general complaints about the ensuing traffic problems.


All until becksinthecity equates suicide with terrorism.

_missfliss_ takes her to task... and is banned!

And then she comes back as fliss1982. Prompting an un-banning.

becksinthecity is also of the opinion that the American police (who of course subscribe to her suicide == terrorism theory) shoot potential suicides all the time. Luckily, she feels no need to back these opinions up with statistics.

Small I know, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Oh, yes. Next up: homegrown wank! (There already is, but it's all in Flemish, sadly. Feh.)

Potentially Suicidal Person climbs up onto the edge of the building.

PSP- I cannot live in this world any longer! There is war and death and famine and Tanya Tucker didn't get to marry Conrad on Footballers Wives. Woe is me, I'm going to kill myself.

Cop - Oh no you aren't! Suicide is a crime. Come down here!

PSP - NO! I wish only the sweet balm of Death. Preferably a Gaimanesque Death but I'll take what I get.

Cop - *BAM*

PSP - Bugger *dies*

Cop - That showed him.

I've always thought that suicide should be a capital offense. Hey, everybody wins!

What I was trying to point out was that if we were in America he probably would be shot

So, I guess the next time a member of my family tries to commit suicide, I should call up the FBI and have him or her put on the Terrorist Watch List?

Ooh, didn't mean to cause so much trouble. Sorry. I was just being a bit girly...(most unlike me!)

Is "girly" some Briticism for "fucking idiot?" I can't keep all these various English slangs straight, you know.

I applaud the mod for taking such criticism from people civilly--as I've known many who can't--but damn, its kind of impressive that many people can call her out on it and school the mod on a solution that doesn't completely suck.

The mod is a he. Rather well-known in Pagan comms, and generally extremely amusing.

Of course American police don't shoot suicides! That would be madness. If the police deprived the gathered crowds of their entertainment, there would be rioting. With fire!

I'm freezing that thread now - there's been quite enough drama there without more being brought down by this community.
