DC residents subject to gravity

| January 21, 2011

Someone in DC died after falling or jumping from a ten-story building according to the Washington Post;

A person was found dead Friday morning after apparently jumping or falling from a 10 story building in the 1200 block of M Street NW, a fire department spokesman said.

Firefighters were called to the scene about 8 a.m. to find that the person had suffered traumatic injuries from a fall, said Pete Piringer, a D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman. The person was pronounced dead at the scene.

Obviously this occurred because the buildings in Washington, DC are too tall. I suggest to the DC Council and the Washington Post that they advocate for shorter buildings. I mean, if shorter magazines are the answer to prevent shootings like in Tucson, then shorter buildings are the answer for this similar isolated incident.

I think building regulations limit buildings to 12 stories in DC (everything has to be lower than the Capitol dome) but that doesn’t go far enough. Washingtonians will continue to succumb to gravity, so let’s make their falls less lethal.

Gravity kills everyday! It must be banned to prevent needless deaths!

Gravity is yet another example of the Man’s oppression of the masses. See the violence inherent in the system.

No, no, no! You got it all wrong. It’s not the fall that kills you, (stop me if you’ve heard this one) It’s the sudden stop at the end.

Gravity is fine, it’s that nasty, unfeeling, hard ground at the bottom. Just ban it in the Ditrict of Calamity. Like hand guns, that’ll stop ground impact deaths right?

xactly. Thats why we need idiot friendly sidewalks and car roofs.

Congress should proclaim that green jobs will be created by covering all hard surfaces with bio-degradable balloons.

Buildings are dangerous. We need immediate legislation making it illegal for a building to come within 1000 yards of an elected official.

Just think of the job creation if they enacted legislation to make everything nerf.
