They should lower one of those aromatically-baited live traps down from the roof and see if it hops in.

I'm assuming they can't open the windows on the skyscraper because it's St. Paul and everyone would be jumping to end their lovely lives.

So, someone should just run at the window and scare that little raccoon so it jumps off on it's own.

A raccoons home range spans one mile. He is smack dab in the middle of the city. This is a sewer coon. I get that doesn't matter to you and you just see a poor little creature in a poo poo situation but I have been dealing with these little shitbirds for 6 years and every time I catch them in a bad situation like this it's always their own fault. These things die all the time based on their own poor decisions and if it was possible to pull him out of it I am sure it would've been attempted, but like many people have pointed out he is going to freak as soon as any perceived danger nears and likely just belly flop. They are one of those animals just smart enough to constantly get in trouble.

your dumbass picture includes the multiple parks and nature preserves i was talking about. it's unfortunate for an animal to dehydrate for like 2 days and go nuts climbing a thing but this has no bearing on the fact that you're a moron who fails basic geometry. you have no actual interest in this geographical area or even science in general and thus perhaps you should piss off because you're embarrassing yourself really bad

No need to get all huffy. I know more about these idiot animals than I ever cared to after moving to a city infested with their dumb asses. FYI a park in the middle of a city is still a city park no matter how you gussy it up and I can guarantee those idiots aren't foraging in the foliage.

Raccoons die stupid deaths all the time except this one made it on the tweeters. RIP idiot animal.

almost the entirety of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers are protected parkland throughout all of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area. you idiot. you total moron. the river is right loving there. i have hiked and biked extensively through this area, for over a decade, and encountered much more wildlife than a single common raccoon. your flailing here is seriously embarrassing :ughh:

i mean we definitely do have a zillion hellbeast fatty raccooons all over the place. when i was a drunk undergrad student i would be stumbling home and see those shining eyes in an alley or even from inside the sewer and suddenly oh hello i could probably kill you there, nice human

my dumb rear end opinion though is that this lil buddy wandered into downtown and couldn't make heads or tails of the urban raccoon economy

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I've lived in the country and lived in the city and have never had a bad raccoon experience, I have sat down and rolled a bottle towards a raccoon and it rolled the bottle back and we did that for a couple minutes. Raccoons are good and pure and I want this raccoon to live.

Possums are awful though and can go away. Thank you.

Also raccoons are an absolute nightmare. Anyone who thinks they're cute and cuddly has never had to deal with one camping your trash, or scaring your cats, or jumping in front of your car like it wants to end it all, or just being an overall gigantic pain in the rear end. Not as bad as opossums, but close.
