Key in inspiring the allegations against Savage is a video shot during the chaotic final days of the redshirts' protest, now circulating on YouTube. In it, he is seen dressed in a bandanna and carrying a stick, exhorting protesters to set fire to the shopping centre, in the middle of the reds' protest site.
"We're gonna smash the fucking Central [World] plaza to shit. We're gonna steal everything out of it and burn the fucker down. Trust me, get pictures of that fucker. We're gonna loot everything, gold, watches, everything, and then we're gonna burn it to the ground," he says in the video, shot just days before the shopping centre was torched last Wednesday.
