3/ TL: #TowerGlower at the front of the #MediaTower a few mins later in the video, watching the police line battle.
Monocular's strap is hanging down.
Note coat sleeve & cuff, dark hood, blue hat, black bag & camera with lens hanging by hip
Left photo: at 29:25
Others: around 31, watching the police retreat into the Lower Western Terrace Tunnel Entrance
His black hood is up for part of the time at the front rail
He films the police retreat at 30:24
6/ 4 mins earlier #BlackGlove805 climbs down the ladder onto the front platform of the #MediaTower, wedges himself in at the railing, & leans over to look down at the West Plaza action.
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
.
27/ 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
29/ Once the Betsy Ross flag waver guy climbs to the top level (top left), it's the group of 7 people seen in the clip in tweet 24⬆️
Top right: 1st to person to climb the Tower successfully (3:51)
A min earlier #TowerPup tries to climb but gets chased down facebook.com/wysiwygtvDOTco…
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? flickr.com/photos/perspec…
32/ 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.

1/ Before 1/6 “The House Sergeant at Arms warned Members of Congress...to arrive early...and use underground tunnels to travel" between office bldgs &
"the Capitol, instead of walking.... Such precautions are not common during protests"
#DCRallies 2/ MJ: Roger Stone solicited contributions for Jan 5/6 events through the StopTheSteal website (which he launched in 2016) “for private security at every one of our events, as well as funds for permits, staging, transportation, and legal fees”
3/ O.K. Leader Stewart Rhodes: Just as at the Nov & Dec DC. rallies, Oath Keepers “will be conducting PSDs for multiple high profile speakers over both days, and our teams will be either directly responsible for event security or assisting event security”
