Suspect, 17, jumps from second floor in escape attempt

[schumi]

Pietermaritzburg - A 17-year-old housebreaking suspect might have imagined he was Spider-Man when he apparently planned his escape by leaping from the second floor of the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday morning.

Instead of landing on his feet and darting out of the front door, however, he lay writhing in pain on the ground floor, blood spilling from his head.

His hands were still handcuffed behind his back.

Inquisitive passers-by immediately gathered around him, speculating if he was dead and what had transpired. The investigating officer, who had brought him to court, hurried downstairs and unlocked his cuffs.

Court officials were summoned to render assistance and two arrived wearing latex gloves.

They tried to keep the slender young man still and calm. He complained of pain under one of his arms.

He also murmured: "I want to die, just leave me alone."

He also murmured: "I want to die, just leave me alone."

And this is why euthanasia must be legalised. Why must we object to his wishes?

Well, he's certainly learned about gravity, and up vs down now, maybe he'll learn right from wrong next?

Was hoping it was the 17th floor.

Sure he jumped? Maybe the Apartheed police were behind his jump.

Let me get this straight, you jump from a 2 story build with your hands cuffed behind your back?

Found out the hard way that gravity is not colonialist.

Well there was a club in Stellenbosch in the Eikestad Mall where I worked, we caught a guy stealing handbags, and cuffed him to the railings on the walkway upstairs. When he saw the police coming, he just jumped, still handcuffed. This is from the 2nd story :erm:

Fell himself silly, got up, and ran away, blood and skin all over the handcuffs :erm:
