........like me, some people have doubts.
I examined the high-quality footage on the "black bag" etc.
It did not seem as certain that Simon was framed as the writer was asserting.
Amongst other things, his original bag seemed to be bi-colour, part blue part black.
I tried hard to believe, but what I saw, on really close inspection, left me with the conclusion that only a fair and careful trial could determine whether he was or was not carrying molotov cocktails and other weapons, etc.

The video alone, if viewed with a completely open mind, certainly is not conclusive that he was framed, though of course, if that is what you are determined to see in it, you can.
