Okay, something international. Here's what happened on Wednesday in Belgrade:
Some kid who was on treatment in a psychiatric hospital went to a bridge in Belgrade holding a gun, claiming that he'll kill anyone who approaches him and throw himself off.
First, the cops blocked the traffic because he had a gun. After an hour or so of negotiation, a police officer approached the guy to give him a phone to call his mother and grabbed him immidiately: he let go, but the cop held on to him so he didn't fall of the bridge. A smart thing to do? I don't know, a very risky tactic. Anyway, he fought back, but a dozen policemen were more than enough to handle him and ship him back to the hospital.
The thing is, we've got huge traffic jams in rush hours in Belgrade mostly because we lack bridges. One bridge means 45-60 minutes of waiting alone. The closing of the bridge has made things much worse, and the citisens went mad. They were actually appalled because the traffic was temporary shut down, and that the police was even trying to help him that much.
There is Invalid Link Removed: the video is on the bottom of the page. See the mob for yourself. Citisens actualy yelled at the boy, demanding that he jumps, shoots or anything to end it, laughing.
In the video, the huge man says: "Give me the gun, I'll kill him myself, make things easier for him, the #$@%#$%$@#... You know why? Look at the mess he's made! The jam streches to the airport! I mean, what kind of an $%#^@ is he?"
Then the woman says that she doesn't care about him whatsoever, she is trying to get home, that this all doesn't make any sense.
All the while, people were filming the event with cell phones. One young mother even took a picture with her children smiling and hugging with the suicidal maniac showing in the background.
Lack of compassion... Though he didn't have to do it in the middle of the day
