Possibly armed? That sounds like an unfounded accusation. Better be careful with those around here.

Although I guess it's not unfounded since the dude's claiming it himself...

Well, I said "possibly" because the police hadn't (and maybe still haven't?) confirmed a weapon, or whether he's just up there because he's upset, unbalanced, etc.

I was just blowing off some ponyfans steam, Otto.

How? Is he down?

by **goldenstang** » Mon May 28, 2012 9:29 pm

Still up there last I checked.

Now, Does this fall under the heading, "Top 25 in everything we do"?

man, kinda crazy to watch. glad no one else got hurt, though. especially the officers who had to go up after him.

Watch his family will now sue the University for not properly securing the crane.

LOL!!!! Well said, E'Stang!!!

They'll be some ambulance-chaser eager to take that case but then again, didn't Texas pass a loser-pay law?

My math teacher today asked me about this, so I explained what I knew to the whole class and that the guy killed himself... Teacher (Duke grad) from Michigan heard of this in the news, not the best publicity but still publicity.

Then he goes on to tell everyone it's my favorite college and the one (if I ever had a shot at going to college) I wish to go to and that it's in Dallas, Texas.
