Everyone goes home in time for dinner.
(Well, almost everyone...)
In the US - We would assume this guy is innocent and we would attempt to discuss the situation for hours, but more likely, even a day or longer. During this time we would feed him anything he asked for and provide warm clothing etc to ensure his comfort.
When it was all resolved we would give him a fair trial, having appointed the finest Lawyer free of charge to represent him. If we found him guilty (unlikely) we may send him to prison for a few years. The prison would be close to his home, so as not to cause distress and anguish to his relatives. While in prison he will have a roof over his head, watch cable TV, visit the gym and have all his medical looked after, eat like a king and maybe learn the law, gain a degree (for free) and before we know it he'll turn around and sue the Police negotiator, the Police Department and the State and Federal Governments - all this and more is paid for with our tax $$$S!!!
In Japan - They keep their expenses and time to a minimum!
No wonder their cars cost less

Beautiful!!! Too bad we have lost our balls in this country. Your right, if it was here, it would be a 20 hour standoff.

Yeah... it's called the Bill of Rights...
I'm not saying this dirtbag didn't deserve to eat a bullet... but there is something to be said for due process...

it ended as it should, but it would be a much different story if the bad guy had pulled that kid from the window with him as he fell.

I didn't write the message... it was an email forwarded to me... and yes, there is something to be said for due process, especially when it comes to traffic violations, or small harmless crimes. but for something like the above, a bullet to the head no questions asked is pretty nice tactic, and saves some BS money. and just think how much those crimes would go down if we rolled like that! :jawdrop:

After negotiating 2 hours my guess would be they had spotters on the ground telling the shooter exactly when to hit the guy, when he didn't have hold of the kid.
We have it here too. It's called SWAT. Possibly underused, but here nonetheless.
They could have used a high powered sniper round to the body from the ground too to blow him right back inside the window. The might have impacted the kid though with body parts shrapnel.
