Gotta love the crack jack Secret Service. A guy can walk up and start claiming the side of the building of the residence of a Presidential candidate and is tipped off by a passer by. What if this was done under cover of darkness and he had an IED in that backpack??

I believe Trump is in North Carolina and Florida today. So why would the Secret Service be at Trump Tower? They would be where Trump is.

“OMFG we should shoot anyone with a backpack!!!!! /sarc
It is not just the backpack, but the circumstances surrounding who is wearing it at what location and the danger he might pose. If someone with a backpack scales the WH fence and starts running at the building, I am sure he would be shot. Or if he were scaling the CIA building at Langley, he would be shot.

This guy is illegally scaling the Trump Tower. For what purpose? Doesn’t Trump live there in a penthouse apartment?”

I agree with you. I don’t know why this guy wasn’t taken down before he got 20 feet. Trump isn’t there, of course, but his family is and we have no idea what this fool has in mind.

yes they are supposed to move, but each time they are stressed can potentially lessen their ability for future happenings.

just like suspension bridges, a chair, anything made or even trees and natural things etc.

Every structure/item has a life span due to stress and things that happens to it. This guy is causing some stress to each window he suctions to, some of them multiple times.

I know people window wash, but I don’t think that put stress on windows.

My point was he is very selfish to do this. It’s like choosing to climb some one’s home without permission - potential damage to home, liability etc.

Maybe he wants a job in movie production being a stunt man, and is doing it for publicity.

It will be awesome if he produces a banner that says:
Climb to the top! Vote TRUMP/PENCE 2016!

This can be followed by a low-altitude basejump parachute ride with TRUMP/PENCE 2016 on the canopy.

Just heard a local talk host refer to the climber as a student at Hampshire College (a small,Marxist school in western Massachusetts) majoring in Womyn's Studies.LOL!

He may as well major in Fast Food Culinary Skills or Landscaping (the latter requires a minor in Spanish).
