‘Why is that lady in a cage?'
This is how the little girls who saw that will remember how they treated the first woman nominee for president.
“It is “not appropriate to be handing water balloons to little children and inviting them to throw” them at such a display, Tracy said. “I’m sure there are some that wondered, ‘Why is that lady in a cage? Why are they being mean? Why are they throwing water balloons at her?’ ”
Julin estimated that his group handed out about 400 water balloons during the parade.
As for those who might take offense, “I mean if they do, they do,” Julin said. “We believe if Hillary gets in, it’ll be bad for moving our political agenda forward. ... Also, it wasn’t just kids, there were a bunch of adults grabbing water balloons and cheering.”

It looks like the "boots girl" gave that young child a water balloon to throw at a presidential candidate, or rather at someone wearing Hillary Clinton mask. I strongly suspect that the little girl believed that she was throwing it at Hillary Clinton. But I hope that she was aiming at "boots girl. This is depressing and exasperating.
