At last, I know a good number of People I know were moaning they couldn't get in to town for Work.

There were plenty of opportunities to 'grab' him from what I heard. 29 hours though where he was in control. ridiculous. what's the worst that could have happened? he'd get 28 hours of attention?

'grab him'

Don't give up the day job to pursue a career in negotiations.

He was walking around within reach of a 'grabber' elf and safedy says no. let it drag on a bit longer.

if it was anything else, they wouldn't let it go on so long.

:rolleyes:

And when the 'grabber' either missed or didn't get a decent hold of him and he fell to his death that would all be fine would it? :dozey:

Letting it drag on isn't ideal but there really are very few options to deal with this type of situation.

There was a picture of him almost right next to the copper. a distance away from the fence. there were even eye witnesses saying the same thing. one thought it was a TV program being made until he heard that it was actually real.

So if the cop had made a grab for him, missed, and he fell to his death would you be happy?

I've seen footage of someone making a grab for someone on a bridge. It didn't end well. :(

Here's a pic of how close to jumping he was.

Re: Man arrested after 29 hours on Birmingham bridge
 

How about we get back to the topic now.

I owe you no apology for that, so glad I cannot acommodate your *apparent* racist and anti-muslim agenda.
