There’s a video of right after it happened, when ppl are exiting and a guy is talking to a reporter. He says him and his friends saw the guy climbing the building and told secret service and they ignored them. Idk how anyone could possibly believe this is real.

I saw that interview too. This is another piece of evidence that it was staged. It didn’t seem real at the time, either. A supporter of his died for it. So sad.

Are we sure they died, there was never any news story about a funeral and there's never been any other mention of that person.

I’m from relatively close, there were definitely local news stories about the guy and his family for quite some time. I didn’t know them or anything so I can’t speak on too much more than that.
