[Rakoth]

Please, explain why a child should be handcuffed in this situation. I get that there are extreme situations that allow it, but what the hell.

EDIT: The photo looks like it was shot from a potato cam, and the OG post was taken down. So, treat the above with suspicion.

Ohh, and here is another, an american citizen, kept apart from his mother for hours: (more credible)

Seriously?

They are just Making America Great Again.

What the actual fuck.

The White House says a five-year-old boy was held for five hours and reportedly handcuffed because he could have been a “threat” to the United States.

What the actual fuck.

Did they send a child back to Syria? the fuck?

"Appears the child is in handcuffs"

I'll wait and see.

Great photo-op moment for someone if they were so inclined to make it look worse than it is.

Did they purposefully set their camera resolution to potato mode?

[Skroe]

Well done deplorables. You've made America Great Again.

[Molis]

I do not actually see any handcuffs in that first pic.

I think I see a teddy bear?

Fortunately No. The fact that a 5 year old American citizen was detained because according to Spicer: “To assume that just because of someone’s age and gender that they don’t pose a threat would be misguided and wrong.”

Basically we've gone to...If you don't look American enough we're going to detain you and age be damned.

How do we make America just OK, again?

[Wyrt]

I sure feel safer now they I know they're detaining 5 year olds.

Looks like we found the poster "child" for the anti-refugee ban movement.

Trump is so great - thanks all of you for voting him in. MAGA!

How can she hold a teddybear and be handcuffed at the same time?

[TITAN308]

I already see the lack of critical thinking has started in this thread.

Have any of the first handful of posters actually clicked the link and seen the photo?

I'm sorry but how do we know she's in handcuffs? Smells like fake news to me.

Doesn't that mean the terrorists are winning if we've become that afraid?

you are welcome. we have only just begun.

You'll believe anything if it aligns with your misguided agenda.

Yeah, I thought I was seeing some kind of teddy bear to. I don't think the kid in the first picture is in handcuffs. Got no excuse for the second link though.

Oh we're afraid of our own shadow these days...
