A man who is hanging off the side of Trump Tower from a rope Sunday evening is demanding to speak to President Donald Trump.
The man, who is in his 20s, has been dangling from the tower’s 16th-floor balcony since about 5:30 p.m., asking to speak to the president and trying to get his message to the media, according to Chicago Police spokesman Tom Ahern. Police officers at the scene said they believe the man is using a climbing harness.
The man has threatened to kill himself, Chicago police said. A negotiator is currently on the deck trying to get the man down, according to Ahern.
Police have blocked off traffic around Trump Tower, which overlooks the Chicago River at 401 N. Wabash Ave. A crowd of onlookers gathered across from the tower, some wondering if it was part of a stunt for the upcoming Batman movie, which has been shooting in the city recently.

He posted on his Twitter account, recorded from the side of the building, that he is BLM. Let him die and blame Twitter.

For “hope”, see the Religion forum. Here in the Activism forum, the focus concerns “jump”

GMTA!
I think that needs to be constantly played on any bridge, building, etc., that people get on and threaten suicide from on a regular basis.
