Things like this make me sick. This happened in Derby a few years ago and a similar thing happened outside of Coventry too (thankfully in the latter case, the police saved the man).

I am absolutely shocked by the behaviour of people!
No offence to you, but he absolutely deserved to lose his job. That was completely unprofessional (as a fireman) but completely cruel.
It's messed up in this country that you can be charged with manslaughter for helping a terminally ill person in a lot of pain to kill themselves, but if you callously goad a vulnerable person into killing themselves in public you get off scot free. It should be a criminal offence imo.
