    For hell’s sake have you ever seen the entire video from which the picture was extracted? The guy literally stopped the tanks, had a chat with them, and walked away unharmed.

      Of course not. Nobody actually watches they video. They just see Lego memes of the picture and conclude “Communism Killed 100 Zillion People”

    You do realize that he wasn’t run over unlike the Palestinians who do get run over by Israeli tanks.

      The group of protesters remained steadfast, even in the face of annihilation. Shots rang out, innocents were struck, and people began to die. Nonetheless — there was power in numbers, and solidarity that allowed them to find courage — and thousands joined hands as bullets flew. “Students linked arms but were mown down,” wrote Donald. “APCs then ran over the bodies time and time again to make, quote ‘pie’ unquote, and remains collected by bulldozer.”

      As if this wasn’t atrocious enough, the government’s criminal and brutal activity that day got even worse. With no regard for the families of these victims, not to mention their identities, what was left of them was disposed of — in an unspeakably callous manner.

      “Remains incinerated and then hosed down drains,” Donald wrote.

      So let me get this clear: your position is that I am CIA and that the Tiananmen massacre did not happen?

      Is that correct, or am I missing something?
