A “BLACK Lives Matter protester” dangled from Trump Tower in Chicago overnight – demanding to speak to the president or else he’d “cut the rope.”
The activist was hanging from the 16th floor from roughly 5.15pm local time on Sunday until 7am on Monday.
In the live video from the side of the building, the man declared that he is a member of Black Lives Matter and brandished a knife while threatening to cut the rope that is preventing him from plummeting to his death.
In the video, the climber declares that “I am member of Black Lives Matter and I want to talk with Mr. Trump before the election. I don’t want to die. If someone will try to pull this rope… I will jump and die. I have a knife. If someone will try to pull [the rope] I will cut it and probably die — but I don’t want to die.”

Another video:
The Chicago Police Department said on Monday morning that the situation “resolved peacefully by Negotiators. Suspect in custody. No injuries.”
The activist – who was dangling for more than 13 hours – was holding a knife as negotiators tried to talk him down while a police helicopter circled the skyscraper.
t’s not the first time someone has tried to scale one of Trump’s enormous properties.
On August 10, 2016, a man attempted to scale the glass facade of Trump Tower in New York City using large suction cups.
He said he would cut the rope if anyone tried to get to him but I guess he lied.
But then he is a liberal so it was expected that he’d be lying.
There would be a lot less of this B(lm) S(tuff) if the negotiator was backed up by a sniper. The sniper would take a shot near the rope. The negotator would then say, “I know you do not want to die, but if you do not end this nonsense within three minutes, the next shot will sever the rope and you will die.” In 180 seconds the second shot will sever the rope and the individual will die.
So this Burn Loot Murder commie said he would commit suicide if he couldn’t talk to our President? And that was a threat? Should have taunted him and called him out for not doing what he said he would do. Cut the rope, coward!
If someone will try to pull [the rope] I will cut it and probably die...

16 floors up. Very probably.
“who was dangling for more than 13 hours”
That’s a lot more than the proverbial 15 minutes of fame. He’s got to pay that back.
No big deal. He’ll hang himself on November 4th anyway.
Should have cut the rope.
If the guy learned how to take bribes and molest children he could be a Democratic Presidential candidate some day.
The jerkwad should have jumped. What a woos.
Transcript indicates to me he is not a native English speaker. Asian features. Likely Chinese National IMHO.
Makes me go Hmmmmmmmm.
Why can’t we just use a sniper with a tranquilizer dart?
Knock him unconscious, haul is arse off the building, put him in a straightjacket and take him to some place safe with padded walls indefinitely.
“I am (1) member of Black Lives Matter and I want to talk with Mr. Trump before the election. I don’t want to die. If someone (2a) will try to pull this rope… I will jump and die. I have a knife. If someone (2b) will try to pull [the rope] I will cut it and probably die — but I don’t want to die.”
1) “a” missing
2) Non English phraseology
Sounds like a head case. Secure psychiatric facility will be his home for a while.
who was dangling for more than 13 hours
**************
Who got peed on besides himself in the 13 hrs?
Has De Blasio released him yet? Or does he get to sleep in and finish his breakfast first?
You’d really want to make a martyr of this guy?
Oh, THAT Trump Tower. I apologize, Mr. De Blasio, I didn’t realize it was Chicago Trump Tower.
What, fire departments don’t have huge airbags anymore? This should have been over in less than an hour.
