"Hello everyone. I am a member of black lives matter, and I want to talk with Mr. Trump before the election. I don't want to die. if someone will try to pull this rope, I will jump and die." - Man Hanging at Trump Tower, Chicago.
Two minute video at link.
He contradicts himself right there.
I never found out. Did someone cut his rope? Or did they waste their time, and haul him up?
Confused. Are we supposed to care if he jumps? His body. His choice.
Too bad he didn’t jump. The world would be just a little better.
ChiCom?
If only someone would “try to pull this rope”
If only.
LOL, this is one of those
“Wait until next week to find out...”
The freak is not even an American. He did not climb the tower, he went about 6 foot over the side and sat there for 13 hours. He’s a freak, but a committed one I’ll give him that.
He would let a second or two pass, and then say "page two!"
LOL, I watched the video, I could almost imagine one of the cops pulling out a pellet gun and saying with a grin “Watch this!”
Just looking at that scares the hell out of me.
SPLAT! goes the weasel.
I watched the full video of his rant about how he isn’t crazy. Sure. He is a dumb ass. Just like every worthless POS who has a Black Lives Matter sign on their lawn.
Just cut the line and be done with it. He should sacrifice his life to make a statement about his idiotic cause.
He would let a second or two pass, and then say "page two!"
Thanks for the reminder! I miss Paul Harvey. I recall when he would do a story on someone doing a fatal stunt, he would usually finish the story by saying something like: "...he was 33."
Christopher Walken On A Tightrope?
The faculty went on one of those silly "retreats" where they camp out and sit around a fire, to "relate".
My guy, quiet like, brought a paint ball pistol. If the Stupid got too deep, he would puncture it, and let the feces out. They were too afraid of him to complain, at the moment, and when they went home, the school pres pointed out that no one locally wanted the job.
He was there for three years...
Oh Hi! Nice rope! What’s it for?
I missed this one live, but when I worked in Manhattan the story was legendary. As told here:
By 7 a.m., the work to tighten the cable had been completed and Petit stepped out high above Gotham. A few minutes into the walk, policemen arrived on the rooftop but Petit only laughed and smiled. He knew they were powerless to do anything until the walk ended—one way or another. The policemen could only lean against the girders and watch with everyone else as the lithe acrobat made eight trips across the wire, even kneeling down at times without losing his balance. Finally after 45 minutes, Petit returned to solid ground.
The policemen immediately handcuffed the aerialist and read him his Miranda rights. After undergoing a psychiatric examination at a local hospital, Petit was booked for disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing. Under details of the complaint, an officer wrote only: “Man on Wire.” That afternoon, Manhattan’s district attorney dropped all charges in return for a free aerial performance in Central Park. “My punishment is the most beautiful punishment I could have received,” the daredevil told reporters. When asked why he attempted the walk, he said, “If I see three oranges, I have to juggle. And if I see two towers, I have to walk.”
This dope in Chicago isn't half the man Petit is...and Petit is French!
Because of his stunt, there was no way to get to the roof of either tower, since the access was sealed shut.
How many might have been pulled off by helicopter, instead of dropping 100+ floors?
