      Thanks for the video link. That has some stuff I want to look more into. For me a “massacre” is less about numbers and more about how it was carried out. This video doesn’t actually show any massacre taking place, but I recognize that could be due to wanting to keep it TV friendly. Though showing that footage would greatly strengthen their case. One article I found very informative is https://archive.ph/24zzF which does contain some info/context that isn’t included in the video you shared.

        That page is bogus, it says no fighting or people shot at tianemen square, while I just sent you a video showing fighting, shots fired, a soldier saying others were firing, and a guy saying he saw 100s of dead bodies. The government having the bodies sent for funerals.

        And, my coworker was there as a student. They said it was friendly at first with students feeding bored soldiers, until the orders came to shut it down at no costs. Then it turned ugly.
