I think you are right that this was done on purpose. It was done to create controversy. It was done like it was a classroom exercise that would show what it would be like if the real thing happened. Dem’s thrive on creating controversy in any way they can, then they blame it on the conservatives.
This was a very cruel political overt act. It was treason. Children were being dropped in sewers by crying parents. We want the truth. We want punishment.
