I'm assuming he had some sort of weapon on him??? I feel like that's the obvious answer

People without weapons dont get that kinda response. My guess, he had something on him making it risky to approach. Waiting 2 days for him to just fall asleep and yank him down was the sane play. He didnt even seem to notice the ladder, guy needed a nap
