The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

...but they weren't YOUNG children.

Wait wut?

During a federal raid at a horse track in Wilder, Idaho, on Oct. 19 witnesses said that the FBI zip-tied children and an FBI public affairs officer sent an email to Idaho News 6 stating, “Reports suggesting children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets during the October 19 FBI-led operation in Wilder are completely false.”

During coverage of the raid, Idaho News 6 obtained a photo showing a 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties. The newsroom sent the image to the FBI in response to the initial statement.

The FBI later replied with an “updated statement” that said, “Reports suggesting young children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets during the October 19 FBI-led operation in Wilder are completely false.”


Idaho News 6 tried but failed to get the FBI to define “young.”

Evidently, they use the same definition as Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump.
