In this country, we would block off the street, take 12 hours to talk him out of it, spend $5 million giving him a fair trial, and pay his food and lodging for life. No wonder their products are cheaper than ours!

Suicides get kid gloves, hostage takers get a trip to the morgue. Happens all the time.
