Suspect robbed a business at knife point prior to closing the bridge.

Anyone know where that business was robbed?

Kind of a morbid thought, but I always wonder if people immediately experience regret and "what the frick did I just do?" after jumping...or they're still content with their decision. If it's the former that's a disturbing thought.

A guy I went to middle school and high school with jumped from the Tower Drive bridge in Green Bay. He had struggled with drinking for years and had inherited a pretty bad mental condition from his mother.

Wait...so a robber is screwing up traffic for everyone?




Yeah, push his arse, I don’t even feel bad now. He’s about as low as the protestors that block the road

There’s an interview on YouTube (you’ll have to look it up) of a guy who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived. He said he immediately regretted it after going over the side and completely changed his life.

Spent about 4 hours in traffic just before Christmas due to a "jumper" on the causeway going into Galveston.

It was the suck.

He ain't a jumper if he doesn't jump. Just a climber until then.

Well if you think the world hates you already, blocking traffic ain’t gonna change many peoples minds

in the SF area, one of the more popular trends have been to commit suicide by jumping on the BART train tracks or jumping off of overpasses into the freeway. All during rush hour. It's like their last 'frick you' to the world

Bauxite mud ponds that has been there for 40 years and people that live in the nearby subdivisions are upset about the smell and red dust flying. Here is a novel idea, don't build a house next to it. It's been there forever.
