Paramedics attend to Adrian Sobaru after he jumped off the Parliament hall's balcony to protest the government's austerity drive, including wage cuts and tax hikes during a vote over wage reforms in Bucharest, Romaina on Thursday, Dec. 23. The Associated Press says the father of two jumped from aroudn 23 feet and landed on benches. No one else was injured.

Romania's government survived a no-confidence motion in Parliament on Thursday in a session overshadowed by a man who flung himself from the chamber's balcony, apparently in protest over the government austerity measures. His injuries were not life-threatening. A loud thud reverberated in the chamber after the man, Adrian Sobaru ? identified by the country's public television station as one of its engineers ? jumped from a height of about 7 meters (23 feet).

:2 cents: Seems the gene pool needs more chlorine.

he forgot the safety harness.

silly fucker

People are fucking nuts. Sad to read that he is a father of two...obviously not a very good one. :disgust

that gfy poster moelubani dude should take note.

i saw vid, just like in movies, and he survivied

in the movies he would have landed on his feet, pulled out an Uzi and wasted the whole room.

result from eu economy...

yup... EU economy is going down in flames.

:1orglaugh

yeah that is pretty nuts-o

Video:

Wtf that's pretty crazy.

yup the economy is in ass

yeah , idiot, his family is going to have a great Xmas :2 cents:

This is why I protest by making posts on forums.

Good for him he made a statement, they are fucking everyone in the ass and he decided to make a statement about it. sure did the job.

i actually agree with you on this.

I suppose he got his point across

Ouch

do you guys actually think those politicians give 2 fucks ?:disgust

well, they did call the paramedics.......

You sure he's not auditioning for the broadway show Spiderman?

Here's the video http://stirileprotv.ro/stiri/politic...larizarii.html

He sure made his point, but it's a gesture that should never have happened.

Crazy and sad at the same time. Like this place. :)

thats nuts

yeah, sorry ... my bad :Oh crap

'Young man in parliment, thought he could fly, jumped off a balcony. What a tragedy.' What a dick! Fuck him, he’s an idiot. If he thought he could fly, why didn’t he take off on the ground first? Check it out. You don’t see ducks lined up to catch elevators to fly south—they fly from the ground, ya moron, quit ruining it for everybody. He’s a moron, he’s dead—good, we lost a moron, fuckin’ celebrate. Wow, I just felt the world get lighter. We lost a moron! I don’t mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am, so that’s the way it comes out.

But, as he isnt dead, the above doesnt apply.

What has he done??? Now all Romanians will be banned from parliament balconies :(

Good form.

Crazy dude.

He would have made less of a splash if he hadn't belly-flopped like that. He should done a cannon ball. :)

Fucking crazy.

I thought Romania was empty? So who are all those people begging on the Tube?

Huh? ...

It would have been more impressive if he had pulled off a triple lindy.

Just a joke mate :) ...

... And what are you doing here? why don't you post at that other forum anymore?

the western states were bankrupted to bail out the banks.

adapt or

die.

In America, They'd have tased him when he hit the ground!

Don't laugh too loud. The economic crisis is getting ready to lay into local municipal and state governments in the USA this next fiscal year and there will be no new bailout money according to the incoming Congress. I suspect that we will start to see cities default on municipal bonds issued for unprofitable projects. The public unions like teachers and police are complaining that their pensions are not being funded and are starting to feel the pinch as more reach retirement age.

Hold on, these next two years are going to be a hell of a ride.

I bet he had second thoughts about now. It goes to show that the 2 most abundant elements on earth are oxygen and stupidity.

fucked up

fuck.......

He did it on the 22nd Anniversary of the Romanian revolt against Nicolae Ceauşescu.

Interesting.

Ahh, British humor, gotcha. :) I know it's a joke, but did not understand its meaning. I still read that other forum from time to time, but have not posted in a while, yeah. How's things?

He is in the media now with his protest, so mission accomplished, rather than killing himself in his house or so ... I bet the president and prime-minister don't care about it ...

He was desperate for having a family he could no longer sustain, with 2 children, one of them autistic. It was a stupid gesture, if he would've died.. how would that helped his family?
You don't even get the insurance money when you kill yourself.

The prime minister, Boc, was my teacher at the university, he's got no balls to handle this, that I know.

totally nuts!!

What's wrong with you people? It seems that everyone here live good enough that you can't understand how desperate man can feel. Their economy is ruined and sold to other countries, like in most eastern EU countries. Behind glow and prosperity on the surface, there is deep layer of poverty and sadness.

Do politicians have balls in general? They're all talk, everywhere in the World.

Didn't know you're Romanian, where you at? Bucharest? We should organize a GFY meeting in Bucharest, talk some biz.

L.E. Bucharest or any other city.

to tidy up the mess.

:1orglaugh And this guy is a parent?
