Crowd goads suicidal teen into death jump
 
How sick is this society??




Jeering onlookers goaded a teenager in Britain to jump to his death, undermining police efforts to talk him down, and then took pictures of the body.

Tuesday as 17-year-old Shaun Dykes prepared to jump from the top of a multi-storey carpark in Derby, northern England, spectators allegedly shouted to him: "How far can you bounce?," the U.K.'s MailOnline reported.

As Dykes hesitated for three hours on the ledge while police unsuccessfully tried to reason him out of taking his life, teenagers who had gathered below shouted "Jump" and "Get on with it," according to police and witnesses.

Then after Dykes lay in a crumpled heap on the pavement the same hecklers rushed out from behind the police cordon to take photos of the body.

That is horrible and tragic.

God have mercy-this is sickening.

Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

There are no limits to the depravity of mankind when they leave the foundations of the word of God.
