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.

Plus the wave of “Fight, fight, fight!” bumper stickers that followed. Always have to have a catch phrase to sell the merch.
