davjohns 1 #8 July 14, 2012 Asked if it was against the law, Williams chuckled and said, "You just can't go around jumping off buildings anytime you feel like it." Apparently, you can. I know that area and the building in question well. I used to patrol it. The building was abandoned over twenty years ago when I was a cop there. I imagine making your way to the top was the dangerous part. And then the neighborhood is a good place to get mugged. All in all, I would say the jump was the safe part.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad to see the sheriff has a sense of humor. I honestly can't get into the mindset of anyone who would think calling the police is the thing to do when someone volunteerily jumps off a building... (Unless of course it's a suicide-jumper...)

billeisele 130 #14 July 17, 2012 just wait until the Marriott in downtown ATL removes that hanging art for cleaning I think it is 50 floors with the high floors overhanging the lower floors, indoor BASE around 4 AM during the week would be good, jump, land and out the front door before the sleepy desk clerk could say WTFGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together.
