I have no doubt that the riots were planned ala Chicago anf the planners were thrilled with the outcome. I wouldn’t say that exactly what happened is clear. I can only assume that the FBI hid this exculpatory evidence for a reason. I’m not sure, but perhaps to cover up the fact that they had this idiot photographer running around with a .38, and he may have contributed to the situation. Who knows, maybe he thought he would win the Pulitzer if he could get them firing on the crowd. At that time, the FBI was often using shaky assets like that.

I always blamed the Weather Underground, i.e. Bill Ayers.

Well the kid wasn’t an agent. He was a student. Who knows what he was thinking. Or even whose side he really was on. It’s rather dramatic that they call him an “informant and agent-provocateur”.

Kent State, Ruby Ridge... the FBI has quite the string of screw-ups (to take a charitable interpretation) and cover-ups to its name....
