What is it with you Brits anyway? Not that I have any problem with people choosing to kill themselves but to actually goad the kid into jumping...

FOXNews.com - 'How Far Can You Bounce?' Shouts Push Suicidal Teen to Death Leap - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News

Jeering onlookers goaded a teenager in Britain to jump to his death, undermining police efforts to talk him down, and then took pictures of the body.

Tuesday as 17-year-old Shaun ****s prepared to jump from the top of a multi-storey carpark in Derby, northern England, spectators allegedly shouted to him: "How far can you bounce?," the U.K.'s MailOnline reported.

As ****s hesitated for three hours on the ledge while police unsuccessfully tried to reason him out of taking his life, teenagers who had gathered below shouted "Jump" and "Get on with it," according to police and witnesses.

Then after ****s lay in a crumpled heap on the pavement the same hecklers rushed out from behind the police cordon to take photos of the body.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

And people think that Americans are the only screwed up ones.....

The Brits on the forum are eerily silent on this.

Their society (along with our historical roots) is breaking down.

There must be something in the water over there.

You are trying to blacken the collective character on the basis of one single incident involving a group of neds.

At least the police here had the civility to try to talk him down.

They didn't taser him...

And then blame the guy who did it.

I thought that people from UK and US were good friends...
