Where in the dreary capitol of our nation, there is a bridge called the Wilson bridge. Naturally this is a chokepoint for the crappy traffic we have to endure here.

A few years ago, this jerk was standing on the Wilson bridge and threatening suicide. Unfortunately he did not follow through with his threats.

For some reason still not understood, the law enforcement people decided it was necessary to block off all six lanes of this bridge while this jerk was vacillating. This F-ed up traffic for hours.

I am sure there were many many commuters who would have gladly pushed this jerk off and gotten it over with. Drivers were calling up radio stations to vent about this.

I think when the police were able to pull him off the edge, they had to put him in immediate protective custody as he was immediately one of the most hated people in the DC area.
