The death of African American man George Floyd has evoked strong protests seeking justice across the US since last week. Some of them have taken violent turns, forcing National Guard to be deployed to quell the protestors. As over thousands continue to gather in places for Black Lives Matter, a video clip of a 'Spiderman' scaling over the Manhattan Bridge is going viral on social media. The video shows a man wearing a spiderman costume climbing on the Manhattan bridge and sitting on a horizontal beam. The scene is reminding some people to be straight out of the 2002 Spider-Man movie.
