The mother seen in a now-famous photo desperately pulling her daughters away from tear gas plumes at the US-Mexico border said she never imagined American forces would fire mace canisters at women and children.

“We never thought they were going to fire these bombs where there were children, because there were lots of children,” Maria Meza said in an interview with Reuters.

She was part of the hundreds of Central American migrants who approached the border, with some trying to storm the fence.

US Border Patrol agents began to fire tear gas canisters, and three landed around Meza and her kids.

“The first thing I did was grab my children,” Meza said from a Tijuana migrant shelter.

“I was scared, and I thought I was going to die with them because of the gas.”

Good that you put "tear gas" in quotes.

As usual, the media has lied to us. It was NOT TEAR GAS.

Distorting semantics is a method of crowd control through emotional hypnosis. Distorting the meaning of words intensionally creates a barrier to meaningful communication and opens the door to distorted law - the kind that led to German and Russian concentration camps. The historical mass hysteria like that of NAZI Germany and Soviet Russia is made possible through the creation and manipulation of emotional illness in part by perverting language. The New Testament calls it the Strong Delusion and is achieved by taking advantage of emotional weekness. Consider semantic distortion in the view of the left’s “Living Constitution” and where all of this will end for us in the United States.

That’s clearly not CS. Looks way too white, like smoke.

More fake news. This constant drum beat of fake news will cause a backlash.
