Is this something a police sniper could easily resolve?

Lol, I'm just being practical. Maybe they could come at him with a helicopter and a butterfly net. Just seems ridiculous that there's some kind of stand off with this nut - like you say, just put a net down and shake it. Personally I wouldn't bother with the net, lol....

I said it yesterday, This guy is to yellow to jump.

Just put a unit or 2 at the bottom of the crane and wait for him to come on down. Don't give him the attention he wants.

Sounds like a good use for a Taser shot! That'll make him let go.

"and hadn't realized he was in town."

That's a great response when the police tell you your brother is up on a crane.

Charge the crane up and wait for a thunderstorm. E'll come down.

You're right, at some point he's going to get hungry, thirsty, gotta take a nap or need to use a john - unless he's going to try out for the champion pole sitter position, what went up has got to come down.

Atlanta seems to have a pretty bad record in keeping track of murder suspects.

I can't believe they haven't tried the obvious solution...

Cranes go up, cranes go down... fire the sucker up and literally "lower the boom" to the ground.

Na, he knows the ACLU will bring him water and food because the police are violating his constitutional right to murder his GF and sit in a crane.

I bet he's holding out for Jessie or Al.

Have Jennifer Wilbanks propose marriage to him. That should make him jump off the ladder right into the arms of the arresting officers.

That would waste fuel. It's not a big deal, he will come down alive eventually.
