I don't see what the big deal is.  Everybody should leave him alone and go away.  He'll come down when he gets hungry, if not, then the gene pool is has one less moron in it.

"At one point, police fired pepper spray balls at him to encourage him to come down, but none of their attempts have been successful."

Crap, what are they trying to do, KILL HIM!!!!  Oh yeah, we'll blind him so he'll come down fast, as in 32 ft/s²........!:eek:

I agree just leave him alone....:cool:

"police don't believe he's suicidal"

I guess not, or He wouldn't still be up there.

I agree, what is the big dea? Just fine Him for trespassing when He comes down.

he's still up there 4 days and counting :eek:

Probably not much longer.  4 days without water means this will be coming to an end soon.

Another day passed and he's still up there.....watching it now and he's standing up holding on.

I don't see how he can do it...tough fella. His hands bound to be tired from just holding on all this time.

This morning at 11am they said he had been up there 6 days...he climbed up on the tower and they noticed him up there around 11am last Thursday. I checked in on the video feed a few minutes ago and there is a guy in a bucket about 5-10 feet below him talking with him, so maybe he will come down pretty soon.

Whew!...I'm glad, now I can get some work done.
