Looking at this photo, it looks staged to me. First, look at all the people behind her, no one is running. Second, look at that fence in the background. That fence is in Mexico, that BIG wall behind is the American boarder. She is at least 150 yards away and we sure as hell did not fire tear gas 150 yards into Mexican territory. Third, that is smoke in the background, not tear gas. Tear gas canisters DO NOT just send up a wisp. They FOG an area, or they would be worthless.
"Those kids are so big to be in diapers without pants, barefoot even!" >>> They wore their shoes off walking 2,885 miles in 45 days. Walking 64 miles a day will do that to a pair of flip-flops.

Looks more like they are fleeing the photographer.
ReplyDeleteAs instructed by the photographer. :)
DeleteExcellent analysis. I was gassed in Saigon as I was driving along and didn't see a thing. A student (commie) protest.
