    daily reminder that the full tank man video exists. soldier got out of the tank and talked to him, and he left unharmed.

    Tangential maybe, but through decades of propaganda and omission, libs today think they ran the guy over for some fucking reason.

      They let tank man go at the time and no one knows what happened to him.

      Then the tanks continued to Tianamen square where they proceeded to crush students to death by driving over them.

      There are photos of the aftermath but you want to ignore that don’t you.

        The picture which shows mainly abandoned bicycles and a handful of people who dove for cover after they gave an order to clear the square?

        The tanks were leaving during the Tank Man nonsense. It happened the day after the supposed massacre. All eyewitnesses say that there was no massacre on the square, and certainly no crushing people with tanks.

        So yeah, post your photos, let me guess lots of fallen bicycles?

        So on what basis do you assume something bad happened to him rather than he just went home and carried on with his life?

            Point is, they weren’t. Which is also supported by eyewitnesses like foreign reporters. You seem to mistake the british story for what actually happened. Unfortunately all evidence is not in support of that story. Fortunately anglos do not care about evidence.

            Do you want some reading material? Just ask, it is no big deal.

        Post them, please. I’ve not seen such photos. I am asking with no snark, in good faith. You say such photos exist. Please post them.
