Apparently (or conveniently) much of the mainstream media seem unable to distinguish a rein from a whip. The Border Patrol was very obviously using reins but now much of the media is absurdly labeling the reins as whips. Ironically, Nancy Pelosi herself identifies this smear tactic as a "wrap-up smear."
PING!
Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown.
The News Misleadia will double down on this, and all other, lies.
How did the Hatians get to the border in the first place? How did they get if their island?
This is very dangerous. As someone who road for many years I can tell you, you lose hold of those reins and you got a problem. Reins are a great deal of the stopping power of all but the most trained horses. If a horse is spooked, your going for a ride until the walnut sized brain on that horse decided to stop. And if you lose a single rein, (in western tack their is a strap of leather on each side, so reins, not rein). You have a problem as well. This guy does not seem to have a problem grabbing a guy. So I think this is an uber trained police horse. Try this with a thoroughbred or a hunter jumper and life will get interesting pretty quick.
I still want to know why some dozens of black Haitians at the border is terrible but Latinos can come in droves.
Why are they trying to keep THEM from coming, but who cares about bed-bug infested Latinos during the allegedly awful pandemic?
Yes, notice nobody in the press is asking this vital question.
Actually, look at first pix. Man on grey horse is holding UP something that seems firm. Like a crop at least….which seems to go out do the pix at top.
Second, western reins often are 2 piece, and can be long enough for slack to be used to “whip” (crop) the horse. So if you see some of the pix, yes, they can do such a thing.
However, even if technically they whip, it’s not the violent lashing the hand-wringing commies want everyone to think.
Do they have the required passports and visas that the Mexicans normally require of those seeking to enter their country?
That is a big question that will be forever sealed by Barry. We all know that’s his specialty.
Political purposes much of the media.
Indeed lie spin repeat trust us not your eyes and ears.
If that was, indeed, a whip, then what’s the big deal? Whips are less likely to cause injury than other crowd-control weapons such as rubber bullets.
Looking at this photo, I see the rider having dropped the right hand rein in order to grab the illegal with his right hand. The rein is just moving freely and NOT being used as a “whip.”
“If a horse is spooked your going for a ride until the walnut sized brain on that horse decided to stop’’.
Man you ain’t kidding.
First time I rode a horse I was around 19.
Maybe the horse was just nervous or got spooked but that thing took off at a full gallop.
As far as that thing was concerned I wasn’t even there. I’ve had muscle cars, V8’s, jet take offs.
Nothing impressed me more as far as speed and power as being on a horse at full gallop.
"we saw that image of at least one border patrol agent using a whip and was effectively trying to lasso some of the migrants you see that picture there"
