Man Running From Cops Jumped From Mall Balcony onto Ice Rink
Vice ^ | 25 June 2025 | Ashley Fike

Posted on 06/28/2025 5:29:01 AM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

“He jumped straight down, tried to land, and when he hit the ice, his legs literally went out from under him—they snapped,”

Mall security sees a lot. A suspect swan-diving onto an ice rink mid-escape and breaking his legs? That’s probably a new one.

"... the suspect shouted, “Come get me,” right before jumping."

The fall doesn't hurt; it's the sudden stop that does.

Did he yell, "Sic semper tyrannis" after he landed like another criminal who jumped?

With the advent of Blaxploitation films in the 1970’s police noticed a lot of young black suspects being chased would attempt to flee by jumping out of windows on second and higher stories. It doesn’t work like in the movies.

The first comment, and it will be difficult to top.

Perhaps one of the humorous comments could also be as highly rated?

I saw the video yesterday. You don’t need to look. You almost never need to look these days.

He did a ‘swan dive’ but broke his legs??? He must be doing something wrong.

I couldn’t help but notice he never stopped texting on his phone. Also, isn’t Houston where a lot of Katrina thugs were relocated?

Couldn’t tell you on the Katrina angle. What’s messed up is that this jackass destroyed his legs, and may see jail time for shoplifting a pair of cheap sunglasses.

I watched the video from the link someone posted downthread. As I am not conversant in the thug culture, I have two questions. Truly seeking answers here:

1)To whom and why is he saying, “Stop playing”?
2)Are the ugly sunglasses he’s wearing the ones that he stole?

A whole generation from New Orleans now occupies Houston. UHaul made a fortune from Katrina.

Those are femur or hip fractures! I’m guessing head of the femur. He’s going to remember his attempted movie stunt for the rest of his life! Stupid hurts!

Yes, I did it a few times.
That said it should be noted, “There are only two things that fall from the sky, bird shite and damn fools.”

1. I have been profoundly deaf since RVN and often miss the dialogue. Could happen to anyone?

2. They are ugly sunglasses! Too ugly to steal. Perhaps he was overcome by ice glare off the rink?
Also, over the years, I have become firmly attached to my legs and try to avoid injuring them.
