A riddle: man jumps off a balcony

[vernon]

Was it the butler?

Fenton say's that he has a cast iron alibi.

 

[discominer]

No helmet, no hi-vis. Blamed.

 

[midlife]

Is it a riddle or a conundrum?

Will defining a correct hypothetical solution to this problem bring the hypothetically dead gentleman back to hypothetical life?
Just in case it will, the answer is a hypothetical god felt sorry for the whole situation and brought him back as a Blackbird, made all guns into sticks of rock and made sure everyone had a bungalow.

Global warming is to blame. Without global warming the wind wouldn't be so strong and he would have avoided the bullet.

But would he have hit the mattress?

I think, in the real world, the individual firing the gun would be culpable. Probably along the lines of 'reckless discharge of a firearm'.

But in the fantasy land the question seems to be posed I blame the glazer for failing to fit bullet proof glass.

That's a good question! I suppose it depends how big the mattress was.

Mrs Thatcher, obviously!

Ronnie....Ronnie....hang on, it'll come to me.....

Yeah..... I can't quite remember his name..... Something to do with North Yorkshire.... I think

...You mean "Who is to blame for the man's death"?

Is another person involved? Was the gun fired by a person, and were they trying to shoot the man?

If so, the shooter is to blame.
If not, no one is to blame.

A gun can shoot all by itself??

 

[sight-pin]

As he falls past a certain floor, past a window, shortly before a gun is fired from within the tower and the bullet comes out the window

As he was already past the window where the gun was fired it would be his fault for jumping?

 

[SD1]

The jumper unless the gunman did it deliberately. Why would he do so? So the jumper or Leonard Cohen if the jumper had been listening to his lyrics.

[QUOTE 3934716, member: 45"]This is a perfect example of blame culture.

Who's at fault is the wrong question.[/QUOTE]
Nobber.
