Potential Jumper Shuts Down I-30

An alert FrontBurnervian says that as of 15 minutes ago, I-30 headed into downtown from Mesquite was shut down because of what looked to be a jumper. He got a picture, too:

    Interesting outfit…

    Gee, I wonder if this has anything to do with putting all the homeless and free meal shelters for bipolars and depressives alongside the freeway?

    I would love to know what these guys are thinking…..that’s all I’m going to say!

    As I watched him talk to the police and then look down, all I could think was “I can only see two options here, and one ain’t so good!”

    As if they’re ever REALLY gonna jump – otherwise, how in the WORLD do the police always seem to get there so quickly when it takes them upwards of 30 minutes to respond to real crimes – maybe traffic control is considered a greater priority?

    Dart Monorail?

    Maybe, just maybe we shouldn’t enable the crackheads and schizophrenics to wander the streets to begin with… Hell, we’re building a $26 million facility to help them live in the gutter.

    I heard on the RMS that he was going on about the price of gas?

    Jump? All 30 feet? Much ado about nothing.

  • Dallasite @ June 4th, 2008 at 9:02 am

    Jump? They should’ve pushed him…

  • Right On @ June 4th, 2008 at 9:42 am

    Push him? They should have just popped a cap in him from the beginning and been done with it. A crying shame people had to be disadvantaged with bad traffic for this moron.

    Shooting’s too good for him. TXDOT should have designed the bridge with an auto-jump feature. You know, help take the decision making out of it…

    Hey I’ve got a great idea you guys! Slick shoes!

  • Dallasite @ June 4th, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    or ejection shoes!
