At first glance, I thought that the guy in the white shirt was pointing an AR-15 or similar at a small kid just calmly washing his hands!

Then I looked again and realized that it's a camera 😆

I thought the same thing! Didn't realize it was a camera until I read your comment!

We're probably not the only ones, seeing as they seem to have done an emergency recrop on the article itself 😄

I was expecting something more like R Mutt but this was also really informative. This is exactly the kind of red tape that looks bad and ends up being bad, and is then held up as an example for why we shouldn't have any red tape anywhere, ever.
