Erie Pigeon Caught Contemplating Whether to Jump

A pigeon was observed on the roof of the Boston Store on State Street early Wednesday evening in downtown Erie in what appeared to be an attempt to jump from the edge. Onlookers noticed the bird sitting on the rooftop, contemplating as if it had plans to leap, raising concerns about its safety.

"I was scared he might do it," said one moron in the crowd. "It was one of the worst feelings to see someone so small considering a decision that would alter their life forever."

Emergency personnel were called to the scene within seconds of the observation. Crowds formed, fearing the possibility of a descent to the pavement below.

As police tried to manage the crowd, one witness could be heard yelling, "Dive!" as if to encourage the pigeon to step off the edge.

"I just couldn't believe the heartless attitude of that person," another moron says. "This little guy obviously needs professional help, and someone has the nerve to encourage a fatal mistake."

Firefighters were able to raise the ladders to the height of the roof. Unfortunately, the pigeon flew away before they could save it.

"My fear is that he looked for a different building," another resident expressed. "Hopefully another crowd notices before it's too late."
