The guy standing in front of that tank was truly a protestor, not a rioter. There is a big difference.
So, just to be clear, you think the PRC government acted correctly at Tiananmen Square?
Just to be clear, I'm not the one to say mow them down. Clear?
So the PRC was justified at Tiananmen Square?
1) Was Tiananmen dude trying to burn down a building with officers inside? Was Tianamen dude threatening citizens homes if they looked out there windows. The answer is no.
2) Antifa pukes have done both and that is direct threat and violent insurrection and they should be mowed down and their rotting corpses dragged home by their failed parents.
We clear?
I'm really not trying to get an incensed response (and I promise I'm not trying to single you out, my issue is with all calls for violent response to these). I'm just using a parallel example from world history for the sake of argument against violent repression of protests and riots.
I cannot post other pictures of Tiananmen Square because they're too horrible to display. My point is the event is an example of a government using live rounds on its own citizens. The events surrounding Tiananmen Square DID include conflicts with police. I vehemently oppose the use of violent force by our government on its own citizens in any form. I think it is shameful to even suggest that the US government should do so. That is an execution without due process of law and would almost certainly include the needless deaths of peaceful protestors and possibly police. There are non-violent ways to address these issues.
My Tiananmen Square is just an allegory for the use of violent force would look like on an international stage. Another example would be the Kent State shooting which led to a visceral national and international reaction against the US government.
