Re: [Rant] Stupid person jumps on subway tracks....
Speaking of "jumpers", this one screwed up my drive home yesterday:

Interesting that none of the media outlets made mention of it.

| No ID? Was he a hobo? If he was, sadly, not much will likely come of it. Perhaps the reason for lack of media coverage.
No, I don't mean sad we don't to claim our theoretical accident causing tax as mentioned above, sad that he could vanish and no one would notice.

It is standard policy for media outlets to not report suicidal jumpers (unless they're famous, of course), lest they encourage others to do the same.

| Yeah, I can appreciate that. Just like "incidents" on the TTC subway aren't reported either.
donoreo: You are correct, it was on 680 News but was referred to as "an event". The only way I knew it was pretty serious was seeing the police tape running across Leslie at Commerce Valley.
