She made him shop ‘til he dropped — seven floors to his gruesome death.

 

A man reportedly fed up with his girlfriend’s marathon, five-hour shopping spree, jumped to his death from an upper level of a Chinese mall.

 

Tao Hsiao, 38, had been carrying bags for his shopaholic gal pal around a busy shopping mall in Xuzhou, in the eastern province of Jiangsu province,according to the Daily Mail in London.

When the girlfriend asked him to come with her to one more store — for a shoe sale — Tao lost it, witnesses said.

 

“He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a lifetime and it was pointless buying any more,” one witness said.

 

“She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.”

 

The shouting match then took its tragic turn when Tao tossed all the shopping bags and jumped over a balcony safety railing, dropping seven stories.

 

He clipped several holiday decorations on his way down, before impact and death.

The argument’s shocking conclusion, sent terrified shoppers scrambling. First responders said Tao was killed in impact.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
