Imagine wishing someone would die for spray painting a building...
People who have complete disregard for their own safety or that of others normally don't generate a lot of sympathy. What if someone else who actually works for a living or feeds the homeless had a medical emergency and needed those first responders, but they were tied up attending to this foolish person?

I agree. I don't wish anyone dead. Accept maybe my neighbor
What if the man would've fallen on one of the people that told him to get down and he snapped the guys neck when he fell and landed on him. His behavior was reckless and selfish.
These were the same exact types to join Occupy Wall Street from a few years ago. Hanging out in downtown Manhattan in that flea ridden hobo camp and harassing anyone who wore a tie. In their mindset, anyone wearing a shirt and tie = rich, Wall Street broker. Conveniently ignoring the fact that most people wearing ties are not rich and just wear ties b/c they have to for jobs that have nothing to do with Wall Street like teacher (lot of schools down there), waiter (lot of restaurants too), government employee (lot of city and federal agencies in lower Manhattan too), etc.
Oh I know. I spent a bunch of time down there with those skells.
Wishing him dead is a bit extreme. Much better for him to suffer life long injuries so he can reflect on his behavior every day of the rest of his life.

He wanted to spray paint the wall and the guards were yelling at him to come down. His friends were cheering him on until he fell. You can see all the blood on the sidewalk too. Injury looks pretty serious - from the comments by bystanders it sounds like he shattered his hip.
Imagine even taking pleasure in someone's severe physical suffering. Anyone who would do that is far far more gone as a human being than some dumb idealistic kid who wants a better world. Sad.
(Or I guess some of you are just super invested in the paint on rich people's property, so much so that you put it above human life? The serf mentality on here is just amazing sometimes. All of you kneeling down in front of Jamie Dimon in hopes he'll toss you some crumbs.)
This kid very likely was one of the thousands of idiots who screamed over and over again that that wanted me dead. I'm simply returning the favor. Since he did it to himself anyway, I don't see the problem? When I jumped out of planes, had my parachute not opened, who's fault besides my own would it have been that I was suddenly in that situation?
One last point:
We're not allowed to see ourselves as the "better person" any more anyway. It's a sign of the various -isms and privileges that we're beat down with daily. So if I can't be better than anyone else, why should I go out of my way to act like it? Hmm.
These fools have been ravaging cities now for a year straight. If they Brooklyn Bridge collapsed on them, you're damn straight I'd be laughing hard enough to make scrambled eggs on my stomach.

I agree. And this drivel about "it's just spray painting a building". BS!!!! It's more rightfully called DEFACING a building, SOMEONE ELSE'S BUILDING. If it's not yours, don't touch it. Didn't these kid's parents teach them anything??
