Does he interact w/ others from ID'd groups? ⬆️
Here he is by #NWScaffoldCommander

#TowerCamoComms uses a #SeditionBullhorn on the #MediaTower at one point; it looks like the one used by #NWScaffoldCommander & possibly by #TowermanMale19 for his speech: see 15 ⬆️

Last photo: the guy next to TCC in the #SeditionBullhorn photo, with his hood up; he's also early up the #MediaTower and holds a blue flag
(tweet 24 ⬆️ middle of top level).
He leaves earlier than TCC

The friend of #TowerCamoComms happens to have a tattoo on his left hand, which is odd because #TowerGlower has finger tattoos (tweets 1 & 2 above). Such a weird insurrection. In the first screenshot the friend also has sunglasses. Last: his right hand does not have a tattoo

Questions
Did Proud Boy #SleepyPB know fringe live streamer #BlackHatStripedBuff before 1/6?
If so, did they have a plan to go to the Lower Western Terrace?
Either way, did they go up there together?

Did the Villain Report guy(s) go up to the Lower Western Terrace with #BlackHatStripedBuff?
Seen in photo: the guy with the beard & GoPro stick on the left edge; #SleepyPB is also seen.
