Please check the date on the story and correct it. This happened a long time ago.
I don’t remember this, so I’m glad you posted this.
better start soon
I didn’t know about it and it’s quite relevant in light of the propaganda against use of tear gas in response to rock throwing.
So I am glad to see this as it provides greater context and deflates liberal propaganda.
That said, it should be made clear it is a prior event, not current.
And it's pretty obvious to me why is has been reposted. Because it is relevant to this caravan story happening on the border now.
What is not clear is why you don't just ignore the recent posts and move on, especially if you've already read the story in the past. It's not hard to just go on to the next story.
And besides, you don't have to use CAPS to do it.
