BMTH Balcony Jumper After a Week in Jail: “Pff wha ever dude…I don’t regret it”

by | Feb 24, 2014

We all heard the story of 23-year-old Alex McCormick, who jumped off the balcony at a Bring Me The Horizon show in Denver the other week and injured three. McCormick took to his Facebook to address the situation, saying if you didn’t want to get wild and have fun, “Stay home, nigga.”

McCormick was jailed for a week after his infamous jump injured three concertgoers, who were rushed to Denver Health Medical Center with head and neck trauma and minor injuries.

Not that being in jail is cool or anything but it’s definitely hilarious, to me, to see how people twist things. It’s a hardcore/punk culture atmosphere. If you didn’t come to the show to get wild and have a good time then why would you even show up? Stay home, nigga. People are moshing; punching each other in the face, kicking each other. People crowd surfing on people i.e. Far more wreckless behavior than my incident; ‘I jump. You catch me’. Lol, can’t believe I spent a week in jail for this bogusness considering the ‘victims’ were released from the hospital with no injuries according to a DT. Pff wha ever dude. I gotta mic handed to me and got to help close out a set to one of my favorite bands (letlive). I got to jump off a 20ft balcony and be caught by numerous, eager, fellow funtime havers. I don’t regret it. I’ll remember that day for as long as I live. Welcome to genuine hardcore and punk culture, Colorado! #508

Jumping off a 20ft balcony is slightly more dangerous than crowd surfing. And what are “funtime havers?”
