The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object. ~ Thomas Jefferson, Inaugural Address, 1801 It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislator to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them. ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1779 |

User ID: 49537650 United States 03/23/2021 01:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Man dies after parachute fails to open during leap off Florida balcony Quoting: G3 A man plunged to his death in Florida after his parachute failed to open when he jumped from a hotel balcony, authorities said. The unidentified man leaped from the 14th-floor balcony of the Sunrise Beach Resort Sunday evening in Panama City Beach, news station WMBB reported. cont'd: [link to nypost.com (secure)] They've updated the story. He was a 31 year old base jumper who jumped from the 23rd floor, not the 14th as originally reported. Not that it makes much of a difference. Just a longer trip down and a bigger splat. |
