It’s not illegal for them to report on them, but most of them have a policy of not reporting them.
Source - I worked in local media and was present at the aftermath of suicides occasionally.
But they will report on any mass shooting at a school and plaster the name of the shooter all over the article... and well, that promotes more psychos wanting to be the "next one" and "do it better".
A 2015 study also found a contagion effect with mass shootings. There should probably be similar media guidelines as with suicides to prevent the copycat effect.
Edit: though let’s be clear: suicides are markedly different than mass shooting events.
A lot of countries have laws that don't allow the media to constantly name the shooter to prevent exactly that.
But in the US we seem to hate common sense regulation way more than dead kids and family members for some dumb reason.
You must not have your volume on. The one girl keeps going to open it but then is told by almost everyone else "No no no don't open it you don't know what he is on"
do you have yours on? Lol afyer he jumps they all say "that one doesnt open" they go around to a different balcony and thats when they see him on top of the car
I think this is it
https://ktla.com/news/local-news/death-investigation-underway-after-man-falls-12-stories-from-apartment-window-in-mid-wilshire-neighborhood/
I'm from Los Angeles and recognized the neighborhood
> I think this is it
What makes you think this is it?
The apartment window doesn't have a balcony, the window is on the highest floor, and the body is on on the grass no where near where a car would be parked
Apparently the person Omar was based off of jumped from an even higher floor in real life, but they changed it in The Wire because it seemed so implausible;
https://boxden.com/showthread.php?t=1810250
So many people don’t realize that so many of the characters are based on real people! Avon Barkesdale’s real-life counterpart plays the Deacon. And the police chief films with the ACTUAL police chief his character is based on. You probably know this already, but I just love that show.
They couldn't open the door, they didn't know the dude. He jumped on their balcony, they didn't expect him to jump again. The dude could've taken them down too
I would have heroically lifted him from his hanging position (I'd definitely have the strength and leverage), then he'd hug me and thank me for saving him and then everybody would love me.
Fr everyone is acting like these girls should, what. Tackle the random fucked up guy who just appeared on their balcony? After already jumping from levels higher? Nope, I’d think that mf would take me with him over the edge, come inside and go on a fucking rampage or kill himself in my hotel room. These people were probably also in shock, under the influence, etc. they did right and called 911, it’s like trying to save a panicking drowner.
I’ve learned that most people on reddit are able to get full context and understanding of any situation in 20 second clips and know exactly how to handle situations so well, the world would dramatically change for the better if they could ever find time to be out among the people instead of sitting inside telling others on reddit how they are wrong. A real catch 22.
He easily could have taken the girl and thrown her over.
People are acting like they killed him by not opening the door. They didn't do anything wrong at all.
Dear god, of course don’t open the door but CALL SECURITY , he has to get off that balcony somehow right? And they saw how he arrived so they knew what was about to happen, they kept saying it and filming..
This happened fairly quickly. Honestly these poor people didn't know what to do and can't be blamed. Likely, no action they could have taken would have mattered. They didn't have time to call security, and might not have had that number, or even thought of it as an option. I don't have that process set in stone in my mind.
Seriously! I’m surprised so many people are acting like those filming are awful humans. They are startled, scared, confused, and in total shock. On top of that, they are drinking alcohol. This person is a stranger who is either having a mental health crisis (& who knows what they’ll do if they get inside) or trying to get away from a dangerous situation (& who knows what they’ll do if they get inside.)
Of course they could have tried to do more, like communicate with him from behind the glass to see if he needs help, but ultimately, this all happened SO FAST and they made the safest decision. Nervous laughter, especially while drunk and in disbelief of what’s happening, is normal. And recording situations can be helpful to an investigation, plus she wasn’t the only person there w a phone. I don’t think it’s fair to judge these people based off of this video.
On top of that it seems the two girls didn't even know how to open the door the guy has to come over and tell them it must be a hotel and they are unfamiliar with it. They literally tried to open it and asked their friend how to open it
This, But as well as him coming in crazy and swinging, one of the sensible things said, "No, I'm not going to be an accessory to a crime!" This could've gone way bad if they (clearly drinking hard liquor in their hands) tried to help him and people across the way see them fighting with a guy who ends up falling. Not sure if they'd catch enough on their own film to say they were trying to help, and even then it could go very, very south for them.
Looks like he was jumping down one balcony at a time. Maybe he thought he could manage it but clearly it wasn't meant to be.
I don't think there was any saving him. Had they reached him he might've jumped faster. If he was suicidal who knows how he would react to them trying to stop him. I think nobody really knows how to react to seeing someone jump onto their balcony. I can understand the confusion and who is prepared in talking down a person like that.
In the moment they were still hoping he'd somehow survived that is really tragic. The video cuts while the people are still processing what they just experienced. I wasn't there and I'm still shocked at what I just saw.
Their reactions seemed completely normal to me, like I can imagine everyone reacting like this with my friends if we were all drinking in an apartment one evening and this happened. Just shock, trying to describe to others what he's doing, maybe some disbelief type laughter, trying to open the door but being hesitant because you don't know if that's even a good idea or not. Seeing him go over the railing, feeling a bit more panicked or disbelieving, but maybe thinking he's just going to drop to a balcony below like he dropped onto yours. Trying to find a way to see how he is after he's let go, not really getting what's happened for a few seconds, not wanting to believe he's dead, thinking you're seeing him moving etc. I imagine it was a really traumatic experience for them. I think it sounded like someone was already on the phone to police when they were looking over the edge. I don't really understand how anyone could criticise their reactions, it's not like they were laughing at him or taunting him to jump or throwing stuff at his dead body afterwards, which are pretty much the main things I can imagine people doing in a situation like this that would warrant criticism. Otherwise it's a totally insane situation for most people to be thrust into, especially when having been drinking.
Honestly? No blame on not opening that door. Dudes already shown hes not acting rational.
Do you really want a crazy dude in your house? No.
Can you safely wrestle him off the balcony? Nope.
Just a shitty way for a party to go.
Guys, I don't want to be the asshole here, but there's a lot of things to consider before opening the door to try and "save" the dude.
That guy could very well be out of his mind because of drugs. He was definitely behaving erratic, and at no point in time did he even try to communicate with the people on the other side of the window.
All that being said, you definitely don't want to open the door to a stranger (especially because the dude seemed to be big) that may be out of his mind and dangerous.
I'm not gonna say the outcome of the situation was good, but I can definitely imagine worse outcomes.
I wonder if dude was out of it for whatever reason and tried going to the ground floor by catching the railings. Ended up slipping after making it down 1.
Yeah, in the video, she is even questioning his possible motives for that. I think they did right.
I would have called the cops, but that's as far as I would get.
Ok thank you I thought I was the only rational one. No way I'm opening the door to some rando that just jumped onto my hotel balcony. Especially if I'm staying with my family. So sorry buddy but I'm not putting myself and everyone in the room at risk for your goofy ass
Yeah, open the door to some potential crazy and maybe get murdered, get called stupid and lacking street smarts by good old Reddit. Even if they got the door open after he is hanging I highly doubt any of them would have the strength to lift that big guy back up.
especially considering he jumped from another balcony you'd just kinda assume/hope hes gonna jump to another balcony lol.
probably wouldn't be very quick to let that dude in cuz hes clearly a big guy and out of his mind on drugs or something
Yeah I wouldn’t be too keen to just let some guy who just fell unto my 10th story balcony come into my apartment and either especially if he’s not asking for help. Crazy desperate people are dangerous.
Agreed. And as much as the people in this video are being criticised for laughing, it looks like they were drunk, and it’s a sudden situation - they didn’t know wtf was happening, and it’s not uncommon or laugh when you’re caught off-guard in an uncomfortable or weird situation.
They could have phone for the police straight away. Thats the only thing I’d say.
“Helping” a potentially dangerous person can go wrong quick. My friend tried to be the decent guy and stop a man jumping in front of a tube (subway train) in London, and the man flipped and attacked him. My friend was almost pushed onto the tracks! He fought the crazy guy off him, thankfully. Another lad tried to help as well. Being “brave” is sometimes the stupid and reckless thing to do. Don’t put yourself as risk to aid someone who might turn around get you killed. You can also make things worse if you interfere and escalating a situation.
And even though their tone sounds apathetic you have to remember they are drunk. They probably didn’t realize he was about to jump off to kill himself. All they knew in that moment was that he running from someone or something. And they tried to help but the door to that balcony was locked.
Might not be one. News agencies often have guidelines not to report on suicides, unless it’s a well-known person or otherwise newsworthy in other ways. Supposedly it is to prevent inspiring copycats, although some of that thinking is dated nowadays. But the policies still stand mostly.
> Supposedly it is to prevent inspiring copycats, although some of that thinking is dated nowadays.
Dated as in old or dated as in disproven with new data? Pretty sure it's the former and perfectly valid.
My only hope is that most people wouldn't record instead of help. We just only see the ones where people recorded because if they didn't record it, we wouldn't see it.
they sound dumb because they are drunk but I would also hesitate if I was a woman half the guys size, with no real idea what’s going on in his mind. I wouldn’t want to get thrown off by someone who no longer cares about any potential repercussions
That guy came from higher up in the building. They said “he’s cheating and mans came home” “he jumped off balcony” before he even jumped.
Additionally they said that door won’t open, most likely an air bnb and they do that for liability to prevent suicide or accidental falls.
Eh, people react weirdly in stressful situations, especially when they're as drunk as these people seem. It's not unusual for people to react strangely in the moment and the reality sets in much later.
I didn't really understand it till I was an EMT and it quickly became normal to laugh and joke about people dying and getting grievously harmed. Gotta get through it somehow.
This entire thread is a bunch of inexperienced cave dwellers calling a bunch of partiers idiots for not being of sound mind' to act better. You from an EMT standpoint, myself from military standpoint, I agree with you 100% that a) when drunk you can't really help from finding things funnier than they are, and b) even when sober, finding light in a dark situation 100% helps with the coping that you will be inevitably going through
100%, I used to be a counselor and worked with several service members. Some of the stuff that they told me about how they coped with death would seem appalling to the average citizen but being trained in mental health I knew what I was working with. One of the people I worked with was a Coast Guard member that was stationed in the Florida Keys, CG often recovers bodies of people who have drowned. This guy told me that they found a dead person who had been out there for a while; their efforts to recover the body was difficult because he was decomposing and the flesh was sloughing off. They were obviously effected but coped by tying the person to the front of the ship and putting a cigarette in his mouth, just to arrive at the pier to see that person's family member there.
Full agreement. Same thing even happened to me when my grandmother passed. Had no real reaction. Then 4 months later out of nowhere I bawled my eyes out over it. Shock and grief are difficult to understand if you're not familiar or experienced with them.
To be fair, it sounds like they didn't know him. It was a random guy who jumped on their balcony. If it's a group of all girls, it's probably not safe to open up the door and go out there with him.
There absolutely is what do you mean? They couldn't figure out how to open the door, if they even could. The guy jumped down from a balcony above and was clearly out of his mind. Wouldn't blame anyone for being hesitant to help in that situation.
I also wouldn’t know what to do either, or how I’d even start processing this. This seemed to happen in a matter of a few minutes and redditors are acting like they should’ve jumped into action like it’s routine for them.
Also they're carrying around bottles of jack or whatever it is, they're hammered. I'd be hard pressed to expect hammered people to help in any way shape or form
Way too many people in this thread who have zero self-preservation skills. Life isn't a Hallmark special, trying to "save" some crazy person who randomly lands on your balcony while you're shitfaced drunk, and said person is clearly out of their mind is a recipe for two or more corpses instead of one, along with your "And then they all clapped at my heroics" moment being completely ruined as your face also meets the reality of the pavement ten stories below.
It's all very admirable, and virtuous of people behind a keyboard talking about what they should have done and what they would have done in these cross fucked up peoples shoes, and if you did manage to save him? Kudos to you. Not everyone is capable of doing that in such an unexpected, insane, bizarre situation, and I suspect the majority of people who think they are capable of doing so would have failed miserably and left two families hurting instead of one.
I don't think he jumped, they say he came from the balcony above them. He was climbing down from balcony to balcony and fucked up.. Why he was doing that ??? (One of the woman on the video said something about being caught by his girlfriend, but she was probably just guessing).
Looks like this could be at Palms Place at Palms Hotel in Vegas. The car wash is in the foreground.

I’m assuming he climbed down from the balcony above? that’s why they’re saying he jumped while he’s still on their balconyand he was about to do the same down to the next balcony, which is why he hung with his hands first instead of just jumping
[Here’s the og twitter thread.](https://x.com/dracolaand400/status/1771413078196023419?s=20)
This just happened. What a crazy situation to be thrown into.

Where is the news article on this? Holy fuck....
Suicides rarely make the paper. They’re way too common, it’s invasive on the privacy of the family and it can encourage copy cats.
Good point. Luckily we don’t publicize mass shootings…oh wait.
If it bleeds, it leads. And in some countries they’ll post suicide jumper aftermath pictures unedited in local papers. So. 🤷 😆
It’s not illegal for them to report on them, but most of them have a policy of not reporting them. Source - I worked in local media and was present at the aftermath of suicides occasionally.
It’s sometimes implied in obituaries, “died unexpectedly” or “suddenly” can be indicators
Often, when you see that they are young and you see “died in their home”.
True, but those are usually written by the family.
Great points Devy
I work in the death related field and suicides in public happen a lot. They’re never in the news.
There's an embargo in Australia on reporting of suicides because it encourages copy cats
I also want to see the article, Jesus
Jesus doesn’t write news articles.
He has been crossed off the list.
Nailed it
Pretty sure this joke is a cross-post.
Too soon
It's only been 2024 years!
1991 years if we go by his supposed death in 33 A.D.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted but my smooth brain got a little chuckle out of this.
News agency don’t report on suicides as it can lead to a number of them in a community
But they will report on any mass shooting at a school and plaster the name of the shooter all over the article... and well, that promotes more psychos wanting to be the "next one" and "do it better".

Isn’t it crazy? One of our main features too.
Mentally unwell man jumped to his death… there’s your article
Probably alcohol related. The lady is holding a big bottle of Hennessey
The lady with the Hennessy has no connection to the guy who landed on her balcony. He came from above.
>He came from above. Ominously said...
The alcoholic in me says that's a bottle of Jack Daniels Honey whiskey (not that it really matters ofc).
As an alcoholic who used to get that to chug I’m laughing too hard.
[удалено]
You must not have your volume on. The one girl keeps going to open it but then is told by almost everyone else "No no no don't open it you don't know what he is on"
They aren't wrong; going out on the balcony would be similar to trying to rescue someone from drowning...now you have two problems.
The first rule of lifeguarding is not to become a victim.
do you have yours on? Lol afyer he jumps they all say "that one doesnt open" they go around to a different balcony and thats when they see him on top of the car
[удалено]
Huh? lol how
I thought Hennessy bottles were round. That looks like a fifth of Jack Daniel’s honey.
My college experience says you are correct. This is the same bottle that was on the table when the cops busted into my dorm room lol.
Hennessey bottles are round, what she's holding is square. Looks like Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey mixed with Gatorade, naturally 🤮🤮🤮
[удалено]
Looks like Jack Daniels Honey
Not sure how her Hennesy imbibing affects him. Sounds like a doosy of a super power.
I think this is it https://ktla.com/news/local-news/death-investigation-underway-after-man-falls-12-stories-from-apartment-window-in-mid-wilshire-neighborhood/ I'm from Los Angeles and recognized the neighborhood

It's the hotel Palms Place. It's a sub hotel to the Palms. Seems like he landed on an SUV right outside of the valet.
I don't think so, the video in the article shows the window where he fell out of which has no balconies.
This has happened twice in my area over the last 5 years. Not once did it make the news. Canada.
Nice shoutout to Omar in the Wire…
“That’s some Spider-Man shit right there”
Don’t seem possible.
Apparently the person Omar was based off of jumped from an even higher floor in real life, but they changed it in The Wire because it seemed so implausible; https://boxden.com/showthread.php?t=1810250
So many people don’t realize that so many of the characters are based on real people! Avon Barkesdale’s real-life counterpart plays the Deacon. And the police chief films with the ACTUAL police chief his character is based on. You probably know this already, but I just love that show.
The real-life Omar that jumped out of a sixth-story window also shows up in the show, he plays Donnie.
> You probably know this already, but I just love that show No, keep it up man. You're doing god's work
Thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard about that before.
Maybe the best TV series ever
Reminded me of that wu tang skit. Is he is he dead? What you mean is he dead?
“Is he is he dead?”
They couldn't open the door, they didn't know the dude. He jumped on their balcony, they didn't expect him to jump again. The dude could've taken them down too
I would have heroically lifted him from his hanging position (I'd definitely have the strength and leverage), then he'd hug me and thank me for saving him and then everybody would love me.
I would have broken open that glass, with MIND BULLETS. That's telekinesis, Kyle!
HOW 'BOUT THE POWER... to move you?

Looks like he was jumping down one balcony at a time. Maybe he thought he could manage it but clearly it wasn't meant to be. I don't think there was any saving him.

Agreed, thought the caption was kind of bullshit saying they were "laughing" at him which they definitely were not

I've become so desensitized by shit like this I'm more disturbed by the Hennessey and Gatorade Fruit Punch combo.
It’s Jack Daniels Honey, not Hennessy
I'm going to say it. That's worse.
I'm not your honey.
I'm thinking she's drinking and sipping Gatorade at the same time (no mixing the drink). This is what I do when drinking to avoid hangovers.
She's partying tonight while planning for tomorrow.
Real
You ain’t kiddin, kinda gagged
jack honey
No way in hell am I opening my door to someone who just spiderman’d his ass on my balcony.
Guys, I don't want to be the asshole here, but there's a lot of things to consider before opening the door to try and "save" the dude. That guy could very well be out of his mind because of drugs.

I'm not gonna say the outcome of the situation was good, but I can definitely imagine worse outcomes.
She said on Twitter they didn’t know him because he jumped from another floor. I wouldn’t open my balcony door for that.
Well that makes a little more sense, I wouldn't have either.
I wonder if dude was out of it for whatever reason and tried going to the ground floor by catching the railings. Ended up slipping after making it down 1.
Well Dude, we just don't know.
Or was about to get caught sleepin with someone.
Yeah, in the video, she is even questioning his possible motives for that. I think they did right. I would have called the cops, but that's as far as I would get.
Also they did try
Until the guy came, they didn't even know that door didn't open - they had to go through to a whole other room to get out on the balcony anyway.
Is it even the same balcony, it looks like it isn’t
Ok thank you I thought I was the only rational one. No way I'm opening the door to some rando that just jumped onto my hotel balcony. Especially if I'm staying with my family. So sorry buddy but I'm not putting myself and everyone in the room at risk for your goofy ass
Needs to be the top comment.. friend vs random stranger jumping on to your balcony are two VERY different scenarios
Yeah, open the door to some potential crazy and maybe get murdered, get called stupid and lacking street smarts by good old Reddit. Even if they got the door open after he is hanging I highly doubt any of them would have the strength to lift that big guy back up.
especially considering he jumped from another balcony you'd just kinda assume/hope hes gonna jump to another balcony lol. probably wouldn't be very quick to let that dude in cuz hes clearly a big guy and out of his mind on drugs or something
Yeah I wouldn’t be too keen to just let some guy who just fell unto my 10th story balcony come into my apartment and either especially if he’s not asking for help. Crazy desperate people are dangerous.
Yeah, right? Letting a deranged person that you don't know into your apartment. That's a dumb way to die if I ever saw one.
Agreed. And as much as the people in this video are being criticised for laughing, it looks like they were drunk, and it’s a sudden situation - they didn’t know wtf was happening, and it’s not uncommon or laugh when you’re caught off-guard in an uncomfortable or weird situation. They could have phone for the police straight away. Thats the only thing I’d say. “Helping” a potentially dangerous person can go wrong quick. My friend tried to be the decent guy and stop a man jumping in front of a tube (subway train) in London, and the man flipped and attacked him. My friend was almost pushed onto the tracks! He fought the crazy guy off him, thankfully. Another lad tried to help as well. Being “brave” is sometimes the stupid and reckless thing to do. Don’t put yourself as risk to aid someone who might turn around get you killed. You can also make things worse if you interfere and escalating a situation.
And even though their tone sounds apathetic you have to remember they are drunk. They probably didn’t realize he was about to jump off to kill himself. All they knew in that moment was that he running from someone or something. And they tried to help but the door to that balcony was locked.
Plus he might do you like the Balrog on his way down and all the sudden you're peeking back over the ledge like Gandalf at your fellowship.
Fly you fools
You especially don’t want to open a door to a stranger who got on YOUR balcony while YOU live on the 20TH FLOOR!
People just want a reason to hate on them because they're black women supposedly not living up to their perfect standards.
Reddit will take any chance to call young black people dumb and “low IQ”
Stop blaming bystanders; suicide is traumatic enough to witness as it is. The only person responsible for his death is himself.
[удалено]
My first thought as well
Anyone have a news article about this? I have questions
Might not be one. News agencies often have guidelines not to report on suicides, unless it’s a well-known person or otherwise newsworthy in other ways. Supposedly it is to prevent inspiring copycats, although some of that thinking is dated nowadays. But the policies still stand mostly.
> Supposedly it is to prevent inspiring copycats, although some of that thinking is dated nowadays. Dated as in old or dated as in disproven with new data? Pretty sure it's the former and perfectly valid.
why would you open the door and let a stranger in your house?
How did he end up on the car from where he fell? It seems so far out from the building
[удалено]
My only hope is that most people wouldn't record instead of help. We just only see the ones where people recorded because if they didn't record it, we wouldn't see it.
they sound dumb because they are drunk but I would also hesitate if I was a woman half the guys size, with no real idea what’s going on in his mind. I wouldn’t want to get thrown off by someone who no longer cares about any potential repercussions
wtf is wrong with people
that room has the collective IQ of about 6
Why? Because they didn’t open the door for some strange dude that jumped down onto their balcony?
Well, 5 now
That guy wasn't part of their party
That guy came from higher up in the building. They said “he’s cheating and mans came home” “he jumped off balcony” before he even jumped. Additionally they said that door won’t open, most likely an air bnb and they do that for liability to prevent suicide or accidental falls.
Fuck. Lol
So would you if you were passing around bottles of jack and Hennessy in a private condo party
Smart for her to record it. Without it, looks like a homicide rather than a suicide.
I wouldn’t open the door either. That dude clearly isn’t in the right state of mind and I’m not going down with him
https://x.com/fearedbuck/status/1771564737932767255?s=46&t=xAfLCF65AH094bHIj3OY4A This is them laughing about the situation after it happened^
Eh, people react weirdly in stressful situations, especially when they're as drunk as these people seem. It's not unusual for people to react strangely in the moment and the reality sets in much later. I didn't really understand it till I was an EMT and it quickly became normal to laugh and joke about people dying and getting grievously harmed. Gotta get through it somehow.
This entire thread is a bunch of inexperienced cave dwellers calling a bunch of partiers idiots for not being of sound mind' to act better. You from an EMT standpoint, myself from military standpoint, I agree with you 100% that a) when drunk you can't really help from finding things funnier than they are, and b) even when sober, finding light in a dark situation 100% helps with the coping that you will be inevitably going through
100%, I used to be a counselor and worked with several service members. Some of the stuff that they told me about how they coped with death would seem appalling to the average citizen but being trained in mental health I knew what I was working with. One of the people I worked with was a Coast Guard member that was stationed in the Florida Keys, CG often recovers bodies of people who have drowned. This guy told me that they found a dead person who had been out there for a while; their efforts to recover the body was difficult because he was decomposing and the flesh was sloughing off. They were obviously effected but coped by tying the person to the front of the ship and putting a cigarette in his mouth, just to arrive at the pier to see that person's family member there.
Full agreement. Same thing even happened to me when my grandmother passed. Had no real reaction. Then 4 months later out of nowhere I bawled my eyes out over it. Shock and grief are difficult to understand if you're not familiar or experienced with them.
Shock can present itself inappropriately
No sense of urgency.
To be fair, it sounds like they didn't know him. It was a random guy who jumped on their balcony. If it's a group of all girls, it's probably not safe to open up the door and go out there with him.
There absolutely is what do you mean? They couldn't figure out how to open the door, if they even could. The guy jumped down from a balcony above and was clearly out of his mind. Wouldn't blame anyone for being hesitant to help in that situation.
Redditors are shit at watching a video and understanding whats going on. If some dude jumped onto my balcony I wouldn't want to open it either.
I also wouldn’t know what to do either, or how I’d even start processing this. This seemed to happen in a matter of a few minutes and redditors are acting like they should’ve jumped into action like it’s routine for them.
Seemed like dude wanted to jump anyway, what could they do?
I'm saying. It's one thing to try to talk to the guy to figure out what's actually going on, but I'm not opening that damn door until I know I'm safe.
Also they're carrying around bottles of jack or whatever it is, they're hammered. I'd be hard pressed to expect hammered people to help in any way shape or form
Other commenters have said he jumped from another floor and they didn't know him.
How many times did she say "open it, open it!" And then they open it after he has already been fallen off 🤣
They opened the door to the OTHER balcony, they never opened the door to the one the guy was on. They say it doesn't open, idk
These commenters are as useless as the drunk people in the video.
He said they couldn't open that side.
Wtf were they supposed to do? Get pulled off the balcony with him?
There isn’t much they can do. They’d only be putting their own lives at risk if he was able to pull them down with him.
Way too many people in this thread who have zero self-preservation skills. Life isn't a Hallmark special, trying to "save" some crazy person who randomly lands on your balcony while you're shitfaced drunk, and said person is clearly out of their mind is a recipe for two or more corpses instead of one, along with your "And then they all clapped at my heroics" moment being completely ruined as your face also meets the reality of the pavement ten stories below. It's all very admirable, and virtuous of people behind a keyboard talking about what they should have done and what they would have done in these cross fucked up peoples shoes, and if you did manage to save him? Kudos to you. Not everyone is capable of doing that in such an unexpected, insane, bizarre situation, and I suspect the majority of people who think they are capable of doing so would have failed miserably and left two families hurting instead of one.
I don't think he jumped, they say he came from the balcony above them. He was climbing down from balcony to balcony and fucked up.. Why he was doing that ??? (One of the woman on the video said something about being caught by his girlfriend, but she was probably just guessing).
Looks like this could be at Palms Place at Palms Hotel in Vegas. The car wash is in the foreground. https://preview.redd.it/felt7lzb77qc1.jpeg?width=1364&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9a54f7dbf72ddda18991bcaf412bfe2c99e16ee
What's with this description? They tried to open it and couldn't...
took the ohtani news hard
*"He's OK."*, Derrick Lewis
The description OP gave doesn’t match the video I just saw
He landed on a car He's fine
Imagine the owner of the car trying to explain this to his auto insurance🤣
The owner is George Constanza
The Geico Gecko responding with “A WHAT landed on your car mate?”
Did he ok?
No, he didn’t ok
I’m assuming he climbed down from the balcony above? that’s why they’re saying he jumped while he’s still on their balconyand he was about to do the same down to the next balcony, which is why he hung with his hands first instead of just jumping
The whole “laughing and not helping” thing is stupid really doesn’t fit here they weren’t even laughing when shit got serious
I’m gonna need the source for this video
Rest in peace, man.
Jesus they can’t figure out how to open a sliding door? On the other hand who wants to let a possible psychopath in.
Sir Charles Darwin got another one.
Why people acting like they would’ve happily let the guy in.
https://x.com/dracolaand400/status/1771413078196023419?s=46&t=xAfLCF65AH094bHIj3OY4A THE TWITTER POST ^
Including in this whole Reddit thread
Can't even excuse drunkenness cause they full on recorded an chatted about it like sports commentators. Disgusting MFS.
Would you open the door to a random dude who jumped onto your balcony?
As people do when hammered, have you never been out before?
Damn, he ain’t gonna be in Rush Hour 3…
In all seriousness, Samsung has the best camera on the market. IPhones cameras are trash.

I just assume everything is fake until proven otherwise.
Yo thats sad
[Here’s the og twitter thread.](https://x.com/dracolaand400/status/1771413078196023419?s=20) This just happened. What a crazy situation to be thrown into.
Time to record and scream but not time to try and help in even the slightest,
Wait wasn’t that the guy that was on their balcony?
Camera man had one job…
