Yes, and a couple of US citizens (CIA?) were somehow involved, don’t know on which side. Unless I’m wrong....
These 3 “Americans begging for their lives”...”CIA agents” look a lot to me like George Soros funded Antifa or “Kill the Jews” campus kritters getting what they asked asked for.
Get paid to show up in a country (city, campus) where you are not welcome, doing stupid stuff (like complaining, burning, chanting, general violent rabble rousing) and then getting your arse end handed to you.
This story smells bad, like an attempt at propoganda...but spoiled with a happy ending called “consequences.”
Actually, I kinda like the concept of do silly (stupid) stuff, win silly prizes (get yer butt kicked).
