"Jump quickly!" Crowd cheers as suicidal girl drops to death from in Gansu,China - Sensationalist Headlines

https://shanghai.ist/2018/06/jump-quickly-crowd-cheers-as-suicidal-girl-drops-to-death-from-building-in-gansu/ That is some fucked up humanity

It's China, what else can you expect? Poor gal.

Remember this is the country where people would go out of their way to kill someone in an otherwise non-lethal car accident because they'd rather have a few years in jail instead if a lifetime of debt. Empathy isn't in the vocabulary of a majority of Chinese citizens.

I mostly agree with you, Chinese culture is fucked due to decades of political fuckery, but this is a really bad way to word it, don't make generalizations

The true horror of a self-serving government is the self-serving society that it forms America's right on the path for it, too

I'd blame the laws on that one, since the punishment for accidentally killing someone is far less severe than the punishment for injuring them.

Less that and more that the laws are specifically designed to punish people who try to help one another.

closer to millennia of political fuckery really

It should be noted that the original Slate article making the vehicular homicide claim isn't exactly airtight. However, the laws dealing with pedestrian injury are indeed fucked, to the point where there is a higher-than average amount of scamming involving running into cars and pretending to get injured.

When the fuckers up top drown you in shit, you learn to climb over bodies real fast, or become one yourself. It's utterly atrocious. It reduces humans to the behaviour of vermin, and seeing this sort of thing chills me to the bone.

Why would anyone encourage this shit? Sure as hell different from running over someone to avoid debt, is there such thing as eternal guilt too?

I feel so bad for the firefighter, he was apparently right next to her when she let go and couldn't convince her to grab his arm. I can't imagine how horrifying of a sight that must have been, especially once he heard the cheering from the crowd.

Every single one of these people should be held accountable for that girl's death. What a miserable fucking society to live in.

Why the fuck is the crowd cheering what kind fo deeply fucked up people are the chinese. Holy shit I've lost so much respect for mainland chinese people, I didn't even think it was possible. If you ask me a lot of mainland chinese people are not worth the air they breethe.

Imagine being still alive after impact, to slowly fade away in an agonizing death as a crowd cheers on. No One deserves to die like that

Looking at crazy shit in the world I sorta wonder if that's the norm, like human nature is to be awful and we, in the west (less so america lately), are exceptions to the rule rather than being the rule. Scary stuff. I wanna believe people are good but this sort of shit and the news in general lately makes it awkward.

What? Fucking what? Can someone please fucking help me understand this insane shit?

I've thought about how it might be the default state of a human is an intolerant bigoted asshole.

Hecklers have been detained.

TBH i'm not sure how much I'd direct against Chinese society when Americans happily shitpost on the internet when someone kills themselves too. I can't say I've ever been in a large mob watching someone about to kill themselves, but it really wouldn't surprise me if mob mentality would get incited for us as well.

Both of these kinds of people are awful.

For once, the Orwellian state does something right. Hope they get life.

Because as always, the act of a handful individuals defines the entire population? This is such a funny phenomena on Facepunch, it seems always whenever something extreme happens outside of your own cultural sphere, that action defines their entire society and population. But when equally disgusting things happen in your own backyard, that's just an error.

Except there was a crowd of people on site cheering, and it isn't the first time either.

I'm aware of that, I'm aware it wasn't the first time either. So that makes "Empathy isn't in the vocabulary of a majority of Chinese citizens." a completely logical and reasonable explanation? What if I wrote "Empathy isn't in the vocabulary of a majority of American citizens" and referred to your government being literal fascists? Don't get me wrong, obviously there's a deeper underlying societal issue at play. But on this forums you literally can't talk about 3rd world nations or China/India/Russia without hyperboles, quite annoying.

I'm not the one that said that originally, just pointing out that this did happen before, there's no direct comparison to Western nations. I'm not saying there's no deeply rooted cultural issues in Western countries either, we've got plenty with varying levels of severity. But when you keep having groups of people cheering for suicide, it shows not just a lack of empathy, but vocal support for their suffering.

really cool that all 1,000,000 chinese citizens were in that crowd at once

I know you didn't, I'm referring to the posts I quoted. There are identical events in Western nations. This is a fundamental issue with humans, nothing with nationality or culture.

Wtf am I not surprised that this was China? Poor girl.

America is called the great experiment for a reason. The rules and tenet of modern "western society" are 100% artificial. They are contrived. Fake. False. A fabrication. The reason they work is the society agrees to abide by them, and that is the full measure of their strength and fragility. If they are not maintained and held in esteem, they are quite easy to ignore and notoriously prone to obsolescence and reversal on whim, especially when taken for granted.
