An activist who calls himself “Pro-Life Spider-Man” was arrested this week after a death-defying climb up the Accenture Tower in Chicago, which houses the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest.

Stunned onlookers first noticed the climber, whose real name is Maison Des Champs, around 10 a.m. local time Tuesday.

He scaled the nearly 600-foot building without a rope or any safety equipment and was swiftly arrested after reaching the top, police said.

I think the title is misleading - The fact that the Israeli Consulate happens to be in this building is a red herring. This guy's issues are abortion and COVID lockdowns.

Wow - that is one BIG ASS Consulate. Perhaps the Jews have really taken over (no, just kidding, trying to throw a bone to the NeverTrumpers here).

If I was going to scale a tower, I think I'd choose the Grace Building. The sides aren't quite as steep. I don't know if Koko or Gammy ever got that stain off.

I’m guessing whether he means “Home of Champions” or “Field House,” Maison Des Champs isn’t a real name, either.
