I don't condone, but anyone stuck on the 405 for hours understands.....

.
I don't, of course, condone this behavior - let me make that crystal clear.
.
But anyone who has been stuck for hours on the 405 during a high speed chase will understand it.
.
The man in the hat threatened to jump off a bridge a kill himself.  He had a lot of debt.
.
After 5 hours, the man on the right tried to get to talk to the jumper, but the police said no.  Chinese man doesn't care what the police said - he just wants to go home across the bridge so the man pushed through the police line.  He climbed up the bridge to reason with the jumper.
.
The threatening jumper would not come down, so the man on the right pushed him off the bridge.
.
Really!
.
Nothing horrible happened.  There was an airbag under the bridge, the jumper was safe, the pusher was a hero and traffic flowed.  Story here.
