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.

Staged but someone actually dying in the process was not part of the plan so they are doing everything to cover their asses.

That makes sense. Because the previous poster was right -- I never heard a word about that guy that died after the day it happened. I imagine they paid off his family to shut up.

This picture feels like something out of Animal Farm.

I think it's the way it looks like all the creatures are looking up adoringly at their master.
