Nice, a story with a happy ending. I wish Mr B would have punched him out though.

If I was a regressive marxist, I would complain about the woman saying the "guy wasn't from our neighborhood". That's no reason to treat him poorly. The white guy just wanted his voice to be heard, and that old man was violent to him. The white guy wasn't hurting anybody on that roof, and if the police would have left him alone, he would have just sat up on that roof with out any commotion.

But I'm no marxist. I suspect the white guy was either a criminal that got caught and was too stupid to figure out how to get out of the trouble he was in, or he was mentally challenged either permanently or chemically induced temporarily (I hear LSD makes you want to fly!). Those aren't reasons to receive the death penalty, but damn, unless you have reindeers and a sleigh full of gifts; I have no problem with someone shooting you off the roof. They don't need to put themselves in harm's way by getting next to your crazy or stupid ass at the roof's edge. You need to get down, and do so before you are reasonably shot. If more people got shot for such silliness; I think you wouldn't hear about people jumping on roofs. And fine, maybe shooting him is too much, but if you won't let us cane these idiots, you don't leave much in terms of solutions. Time in jail isn't the solution for stupidity like this. Pain is necessary.

Alas, Mr. B did this guy a favor. He also did what the cops probably were told they couldn't do. It's good to be a home owner and have rights not to put up with stupid people.

If you watch this without the sound it's hilarious. Guy pushes obvious annoying weirdo off the roof and in next frame: BIG SMILE.

Some day, in the distant future, when mankind has evolved into hyper-intelligent beings with basketball sized brains and organic quantum nuclear computing implants in our spines, when all diseases are cured and all men live together in peace, some day, we will put all our resources together and we will destroy man's greatest scourge - autoplay video.

Until then, that's really annoying.

My hero. It's hard enough to keep a low pitched roof from leaking without some freak stomping around on it.

Must agree with Medusa.
