I had these pictures forwarded to me by a friend of mine, and while I normally do not approve of such shenanigans, the story the pictures dramatize touched my heart.
This series of photos from an encounter between a man who kidnapped two young children and Chinese police on the 17th of August, 2004.
This situation was on the fifth-floor classroom of a children’s center and the kidnapper, a man in his 30’s named Zhang Kailin, was armed with two knives.
First picture: The kidnapper makes his demands. He wants three things. A gun, $300 for traveling expenses, and for police to let him go with one of the hostages.
Second picture: The police assess the situation.
Third picture: The police negotiator is dispatched to begin negotiations.
.
Fourth picture: Negotiations begin.
Fifth picture: Negotiations continue.
Sixth picture: The negotiations are concluded and the boy is returned safely home.
The Chinese police were forced to take action when Zhang Kailin began to move in such a way as to hurt one of the boys with his knife. They are quite lucky that the kidnapper didn’t have a tight grip on one of the boys’ shirts - although there was a large inflatable cushion under the window just in case the worst should happen.
From news reports, the kidnapper survived the fall (he missed the inflatable cushion) and was taken to a hospital for “treatment” (which I’m sure means organ donation).
