Fireman kicks suicidal "jumper" father holding toddler son back through window (Xining, China)
Big time Daddy Drama. Suicidal Daddy threatens to jump out of 4-story window with 2-year-old son. Like a lot of these would-be murder-suicides, he was supposedly "depressed" and had gone through a "fight" with his wife. (Meaning, that he was a typical narcissist/drama queen who had to "punish" mom for not giving in to his demands). Negotiators couldn't end the standoff.
Fortunately, a fireman was able to rappel down from the roof and kick Daddy's @$$ back inside.
