My brain wasn’t really allowing me to believe what just happened,” he told his followers..“I knew he was dead, but at the same time this is my first time ever experiencing this, so my brain’s just like ‘he’s dead,’ and so I just start screaming it ‘cause I don’t know what the f-ck else to do.”.Bodger expressed concern Schimdt's alleged killer, Gosal, may have killed him too, proclaiming the smile plastered to his face stemmed from a feeling of discomfort..“That’s how I always am in uncomfortable situations, I put a little bit of a smile on my face,” Bodger explained, adding that he’s sorry the videos went viral..Despite telling Global News that he feels “pure fear” every time he thinks about the killing, Bodger said in his recent video that the incident “doesn’t faze” him too much..“This s---, it doesn’t faze me too much, only because like, I’ve seen like … I’ll just say human life to me, the way I look at it, if I don’t know you, it is meaningless,” he said..“I’m just keeping it straight up. He’s dead. What can we do now?”.A GoFundMe to support Schmidt's family can be found here.
