YAY to NYPD and ALL.
They should have let him go.
Liberally apply baby powder to windows.

Police Capture Man Climbing Trump Tower After Hours-Long Standoff
Once they captured him, they took him to Bellevue strapped to a gurney:
Call me Karnac. I predicted he would spend the night at Bellevue. LOL!
They didn’t capture him with suction cups.
The guy went from Virginia to Trump Tower to see Trump when Trump was at a rally in Virginia.
I turned on CNN just seconds after they got the guy. When I saw the replay, I was frightened for the police officers, and the man; the one cop was holding his partner, who was trying to unhook the climber from the suction cups, by his belt buckle!
It really looked like they would all tumble out of the window.
The officers were quite brave.
Oh, and from what I understand, and what I told my kids, it was almost like a Super Mario thing; the guy kept moving sideways and up and down, trying to evade the police as they broke through ventilation ducts to try to get to him. I didn’t see it, though.
I think it is great. you put a net under him rope off the sidewalk. nothing different from when the window washers are out. and let him go. no risk to anyone but the guy climbing the building. In the old days they were called daredevils and they had a place in our culture. a guy jumped out of a plane without a parachute into a net last week. have at it. no let’s try to head him off. stop the plane on the runway. fly up and try to catch him on the way down to save his life or something. jump in a barrel and go over the Niagara. jump in a boat and sail around the world.
What!!?? They stop you from climbing skyscrapers by using suction cups?
Well that blows next weekend for me.
