People Take Selfies With Suicidal Man Over 105 Freeway As Backdrop
(http://laist.com/attachments/laist_jean/105-freeway-selfie.png)
When the 105 Freeway in Paramount was closed on Thursday evening because a man was contemplating a suicide attempt on an overpass, some Angelenos who were stuck on the road thought it would be the perfect time to take selfies.
Authorities received calls around 5:30 p.m. from drivers that there was a man threatening to commit suicide on the overpass, according to the L.A. Times. The CHP shut down the 105 Freeway from both directions starting at 6:30 p.m. and reopened it at 9:30 p.m. when they managed to convince the man to not jump, reported the Press-Telegram.

One of the most shocking photos people took was this happy-go-lucky group posing in front of the overpass with the jumper in the background. The photo was first taken on the @samdawg1 Instagram account, but he has since made his profile private.

If you're up there more than a few minutes, you ain't jumping. Cry for help/attention is all.

Never taken a selfie except to prove who I am on this site and quit facebook in 09 cos I never used it and it only causes problems.
This whole narcissistic culture is killing peoples' empathy to the point where when they see such an incident as this they think "how best can I share this?". Fucking morons.

It seems LA has become Latino land.

Token black ;D
Lol there's not a single white person in the pack... Well maybe one white dumb whore. They are all dirty foreigners.
-
Who cares, the guy wasn't gonna jump anyways.
Might as well get a picture out of the whole ordeal
-

I was stuck on the M6 in Northern England cos of some "suicide" clown who in the end gotr talked down with a Mcdonalds!!! Fucking Mcflurry eating twat of peace.

The group pic above is not even a selfie... ::). Also if that person wanted to kill themselves they would have done it, clearly just an attention seeker so he got what he was after. Really all involved ( jumper, people taking photos) are wastes of a life
-
LA is a shit hole when it comes to traffic. It took me over an hour and Half to get from USC to HUntington beach....on a Saturday
-
Cell phone zombies. People are stupid all over but in LA they are stoooopid. Fifteen minutes of shame, indeed.
-
LA is a shit hole
Fixed for accuracy
-
I wonder if he had jumped if they would have posted photos of chunks of his body splashed all over the road? Probably.
-

You could have posted this decades ago.

I really hate to go down to this level, but when I saw the thread title, I imagined a pic of hispanics flashing whatever hand signs they're flashing and lining up in a group just as they were. And, I was right. ::)

L.A. is a shit hole. Dirty, graffiti, rude 3rd world people, mostly Hispanic, pockets of whites in the uber rich west side, Flintridge, and beach communities pretending all is just fine here...thank you. There even is a Korea Town of 300,000 where you can be born, schooled, work and die without ever speaking English. Moorpark is 98% Chinese where you have the same thing. Several solid Filipino hoods, Glendale and Hollywood are mostly Armenian. The black population has scattered and is now a minority in South Central. Its like New York City 1900. Best to be Hispanic in L.A. like the peeps in the pic. I left 3 years ago after over 65 there and will NEVER go back. The only people who spoke English at my local supermarket were the checkers and managers.

Diversity is a beautiful thing, no?

Off topic was on a train once that hit and killed a woman who jumped onto tracks. Was last train home from Dublin and we were all pissed. Three hours. Three hours we were held waiting, with no toilets on the train. First thing I did when I got off was piss on tracks...Mood on train was strange. Typical Irish really, silence, then chatter then joking about it.

Scum move to kill yourself in that way. You endanger car drivers and lessen the bnp by stopping traffic. Why don't you down a bottle of pills and whisky in your living room couch or set fire to yourself out in the woods?

I like the way you think my brotha. My sentiments exactly. I think alot of it is ego driven perhaps.
Maybe it's the more quiet, introverted ones who off themselves in the woods or living room and the extroverts who cause a big scene in public? Not really sure what the psychology of it all is but damn, talk about inconveniencing the lives of hundreds or even thousands over some bullshit.

Unless they are drugged or mentally disturbed see little to no justification for it. It is well planned too.. walking and climbing all the up there.. They could have jumped from a bridge over water instead.
