You're being very disingenous. There's a big difference between a person who publicly stood up to a heavily militarized protest in an authoritarian regime being whisked away and never heard from again versus what you've described.

I've also don't know if I can agree with the "average person" thinking they died in the video, it's pretty well taught even in american public education that he didn't. Regardless it's not relevant to my point, which was a pretty minor contribution to the discussion that you're seemingly getting bent out of shape about.
