It was an optics operation and she was the actor who was going to play the victim. But then again who says they didn't afterwards. Funny how much obsession is put on a crime scene and the murder when its a Democrat that the victim. Here, nothing.
IN this case I believe a lot of politicians where aware of this attack and wouldn't go along with a real death. Though typically yes. They would kill as many as they felt like to make it look real because it would be real deaths.
Another thing the video missed. Every time the backpack is moved it sounds like styrofoam being moved
