Yes, we have a very limited set of pictures and some snippets of video...I haven't seen any extended amounts that represent the whole time they were corralling the migrants from horseback, have you?old salt wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 6:09 pm...now MDLF76 is spinning that we may have missed the phantom whipping of Haitian migrants, even though they were not captured on video.
The entire flap was based on the video images, which were willfully misinterpreted & misrepresented.
No Dems were concerned about the debacle in Del Rio until they generated a way to play the race card.
Meanwhile, Kismet can't grasp the concept that the Haitian diaspora in S America is capitalizing on the humanitarian situation in Haiti due to the earthquake there, to choose this opportunity to exploit Biden's open border non-enforcement policy. They picked a weak spot in our border defense to exploit. The next surge may target McAllen. The smugglers have a stretegy, we do not.
So, before we say people are lying, let's admit we really don't know. Indeed, can't know.
That said, I do agree that what we see on tape could be explained by general corralling technique, not actually striking anyone...same with cattle, you don't need to hit them to move them; btw, the horse movement is primarily through legs, not whistling rope; there's a certain amount of the Fox guy that was actually true, but also a heavy load of BS...it's intimidating for sure...and there's also pictures of migrants being grabbed and thrown....the guy on Fox wasn't there, so he too really doesn't know how far it went.
I'm generally sympathetic with the agents, but yes, it absolutely was a very bad look, white men on horseback intimidating and corralling black people. Yup, can't ignore the bad imagery.
But no, this humanitarian crisis was being heavily reported and reacted to on mainstream media, including with politicians, prior to the horseback fiasco. But you're right, the horseback stuff got a whole lot of attention.
and no, you don't know, and I don't know what the precipitating element was of this movement other than giving up on Haiti. This notion that there's been some sea change in border access policy that suddenly made it make sense to rush the border just doesn't hold up...how come others aren't rushing...yes, there's been more overall, a serious issue, but it's total BS that there are open borders. Just not buying it.
It's the extreme partisan BS that makes you not credible, Salty.
We get it, seen it from you over and over again.
There you go, again, like clockwork, pivoting the subject. No one mentioned anything requiring your links. You can be exhausting...but love the hustle.
