Needing Help To Break a Lease

You see some strange things, protesting ICE at the John Moss Federal Building. 

This fellow came to take video and photographs of the anti-ICE protesters on October 1, 2026, but overstayed his welcome by photographing too insistently, particularly when he approached children. The protesters interrupted and surrounded the fellow, and demanded to know who he was and what he was doing. The fellow refused to leave and started calling various parties on his phone, likely including the police. He told various lies, for example, by stating on the phone that he was not being allowed to leave, when the truth was that he wouldn't leave. 

We had various theories about what his intentions were, I thought he might be taking photos for our conservative political opponents, or for his own records - a solo crank. Others worried he might have pedophilia on his mind, or might be off his dementia meds. But based on what a few people overheard, he might have had a different motive. He apparently lives nearby and wants to break the lease on his apartment. Having video footage of the occasionally noisy protest might help him in that regard.
