Police said it appears Jinah took a running start to try to spit further than his two friends when he unintentionally vaulted himself over the balcony railing.

7. How could anyone say this about the guy
"He was one of the smartest, most polite guys I ever met in my life," he said. "I think he was one of the classiest guys. He had a maturity beyond his age."

Smartest? Then how did he falll off an 11 story building?
Maturity beyond his age? Spitting contest - nuff said

:shrug:
