Bored Idiot Jumps Off Bridge

This guy was stuck in traffic on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge for hours behind a 10 car pile up, so when his friend dared him to jump off the 100 foot bridge, he bounced out of the car and hopped over the rail. He figured he’d swim right to the bank and walk back to the car and everyone would laugh.

Well, things well badly, he couldn’t get to shore and it took 90 minutes of struggling in the water till he found land, then even that went badly, because the land he got to was an island and nobody was home. He finally took a boat to get back to shore, and was charged with various offenses.

He went on to say that its very unhealthy for a democracy to have 30, 50 million not trusting the outcome. “The election has to be trusted.”
