17-year old arrested after throwing 6-year old from 10th floor at Tate Modern

[Wulfric]

The disturbing incident occurred this afternoon, and the museum was closed with patrons not allowed to leave until the situation was resolved. Police say the child did not know the older boy. The victim was evacuated by medical helicopter.

The teen is being charged with suspicion of attempted murder.

They don't have much room for discussion other than to shock.

I don't mind them personally though.

I think he's saying this is one of those disturbing threads that doesn't serve the public interest. I don't know.

There is as much to discuss here any pretty much any other thread on a new story.

Yeah, another thread where all you can do is reply how horrifying it is. This one hits close to home though. I also read on reddit someone thought this was a copycat of an American mall incident recently, but I don't know much about that one and am in no mood to google it.

Man what the fuck. It's incredibly lucky he "only" fell 5 stories

After El Paso, my mind simply goes to hate crime. Let's see why he actually committed that crime.

Poor kid. :( Keep a close eye on your children people. You never know what crazies are around. If I was this 6yo's father there is no force on heaven or earth that would stop me from ripping that 17yo apart.

I didn't know about that rule. If this threads fits that criteria, please close it.

Not really. The other threads this weekend about the shootings are good touch points for discussing weapons policies, what we as a society can and should do about extremism, politicians complicitness in mass shootings, etc.

This is a teenager who threw a kid over the side of a balcony. It's not exactly something we can extrapolate to farther reaching topics than that at this time.

Not saying this thread should be closed, but there's definitely less fertile ground for discussion.
