I am going to have to google this story because are you saying that the crowd encouraged him to jump because he was gay? What a sorry ass bunch if that is true. And where is Derby? I guess this was a teaser.

You don't have to Google it.

Just click "Pink News" following the clip above which links to the full article.

I read about this the other day, didn't know the kid was gay then, though. It's absolutely disgusting. Michael, Derby is in England.

No, I don't think the fucking animals knew the poor kid was gay - at least I don;t think so

I am surprised the cunts that were shouting JUMP are not being tracked down and arrested.

How atrocious! Makes me sick up to my stomach. I do hope they weren't cheering him to jump because he was Gay. Even if they weren't, they should've not cheered anyone into taking away their life.
Completely repulsive, I don't know if arresting people for cheering such a horrible thing is correct though, but man how I wish there had been some Gay men in that moment there to talk him out of it or just stop him anyway they could.
I wish I had been there to stop him.

According to the article, this was a 3-hour "standoff" between the kid and the police. You seriously mean to tell me that in 3 HOURS they weren't able to A: get inflatable bags into place below the area, and B: get additional police personnel to the location to get the crowd the hell OUT of there? What is Derby, some backwater village or something? Surely there must have been SOME kind of resources available…amazingly sad and disgusting from every angle.
