THIS HAPPENED A YEAR AGO AND HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY POSTED RECENTLY ON FR. Not sure why it keeps coming up. Another was posted just within the past hour or so.

Confirmation bias - no matter how old or fake the news story, there are always a handful that eat it up. Conservatives are just as likely to fall prey to confirmation bias as any other group.

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.

Well, I for one didn't see the posting a year ago, so it was informative.

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.
