Man Perched on Tulsa Tower for Six Days Won’t Come Down
A man who climbed up a 300-foot Tulsa area radio tower six days ago remained in an ongoing standoff with police on Tuesday afternoon.

The man, identified as 25-year-old William Sturdivant II, has sat on the Clear Channel radio tower since 11a.m. on Thursday.

According to Clear Channel spokeswoman Angel Aristone:

" found an unidentified man breaking and entering into a clearly marked unauthorized area on our property."

5. How compassionate...
It's pretty obvious that this individual is unstable, in need of help beyond being atop a cell phone tower.

that I would laugh at you if you asked me the climb the tower to give him some water.

But I will stay below with a camcorder ready to capture the next Darwin Award and sell it to CNN.

Somebody has to make money off this, this is America!

Seriously... sometimes you can't help people, and it is not worth risking another life to "maybe" save a fool. That is why there has been no police or medical personnel attempting to climb up there to "help" him.
