Was Photo Of Migrant Mother 'Fleeing Tear Gas' With Children At U.S. Border Staged?
Shortly after hundreds of migrants battled U.S. border agents in a violent conflict on Sunday, one photo began being highlighted in the mainstream media.
The photo shows a woman pulling her children, reportedly fleeing tear gas fired by U.S. authorities.
Incredibly moving and potent photos of a mother fleeing tear gas with her children at the southwest U.S. border by @Reuters photog Kim Kyung-Hoon @topixkim reuters.com/news/picture/u…
Social media immediately filled with outcry. "Trump is tear gassing babies at the border. Read that again. Trump is lobbing tear gas canisters at mothers & children at the border. Lordy there are photos of children running from the noxious gas. This is Trump’s America & America’s shame. Real news, real Trump. Who wants this?" one person wrote on Twitter.
But one observant Twitterer found some unusual things in the very same picture posted above. In the background, it appears as if many people are not fleeing anything, and a photographer with a camera on a tripod appears to be taking pictures of a child running as another photographer shoots people "posing as if fleeing."

"Look at the high resolution picture of the guys in the back holding each other for the photographer to make it look like they are running," wrote another.
Look at the high resolution picture of the guys in the back holding each other for the photographer to make it look like they are running. They know how naive & foolish the liberal/Progressive/normal viewer brainwash gang is.
