been circulating online for several years.
President Putin did not steal a lollipop from this child.
The featured candy was digitally added to a set of photographs that were taken in January 2013 during a Christmas service in Sochi by Getty Images photographer Mikhail Klimentiev. A caption for one of the images explained that Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on 7 January in the Middle East, Russia:
The genuine images went viral shortly after their publication as internet users noticed that the little boy looked scared in one of the photographs. When they were posted to Reddit, for instance, they were shared under the title “what could Vladimir Putin have said to this kid to leave him this terrified?”
The humorous juxtaposition spurred some internet users to add funny captions to the image and when this set of photographs was posted to r/Photoshopbattles, a subreddit dedicated to manipulated images, user “theskabus” posted the viral lollipop creation.
Although the images of Putin and the scared-looking child are real, we aren’t positive that they were taken in the order displayed above, or if they show the child’s reaction to something Putin said or did.
Video of the event does not show Putin’s interaction with the child, and although these images are frequently shared in this order it’s impossible to tell how much time passed between the pictures.

Totally stupid, useless story for your readers, Montoya.
More Sheriff shit, guey!
We love local drama, not Russian cagada. Putin me la pela. Y chingue su madre tambien, ya que estoy aqui.
Eric Garza clear of problems, o que, cabron? Robert Gracia is the wild card here. Get some more shit on these people. That's your job!
Hey, if you're sucking for real stories, do an update on Adela Garza. What's become of that weird involvement with Sylvia Atkinson?
Or what about an interview with Ben Neece in which you ask him what he thinks of that $400,000 city expenditure on downtown street cameras that no longer work.
Or, maybe ask Helen Ramirez out for a date and write about it afterward. She looks so mousey, lime Minnie Mouse come to life.
ja ja ja

So articles from the Onion are placed on this blog without any context on their satire, but you have to go out of your way to explain that this image is a joke… Looks like you are protecting Trump’s best friend.
