SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - A man committed suicide on Monday in an eight-story leap from a parking structure near where "Occupy San Diego" demonstrators were gathered, but it was unclear if he identified with the protesters, authorities said.

The unidentified 42-year-old man was carrying some flyers in his pockets, but it was not immediately known if those were political tracts or had some other content, San Diego police spokesman Detective Gary Hassen said.

Well I agree, they should quit breathing MY air and stop emitting carbon dioxide. Although I hope they can find a more efficient way of doing it and go into mass production.
Just think how much they could lower the sea levels and make the world a better place to live.
I just pity the poor guy who had to wash the stain off the side walk, although it did create another job.

The local news here in San Diego reported that a witness may have seen the man hanging a sign just before his fall. I’m not sure how much truth there is to that, though.

He jumped because he could no longer stand the corporate injustice and greed! He jumped so others won’t have to!! Actually, he’s not sure why he jumped. He wasn’t sure why he was there in the 1st place! Jumping seemed appropriate.

. . .but it was not immediately known if those were political tracts or had some other content . . .

You mean the education system in San Diego is now producing peace officers who cannot read? Let's see how far we can twist this just to make sure his death is not implicated with the Occupy Moonbats.
