"I hope this is not true forever but I can’t argue with you. My father is the artist, he turned 88 on Monday, so he has witnessed the rise and fall of most of the dictatorships of the 20th century. A neo-conservative of the 1960s, Andre believes that, while the CCP may not fall in his lifetime, that eventually it will crumble to the will of the people."
There are some pretty gory pictures of the battle that happened in the surrounding streets. But there's burnt out police vehicles too, so it kinda contradicts the image of a million peaceful protesters getting mowed down by machine guns and then run over.
Lynched and burned PLA guys as well
Besides the PLA corpses, are there really gory pictures? I've seen a pretty large amount of documentation and, in the rare instances of something seeming to be a gory protestor death, there was no usable citation presented with it that would allow me to actually place the picture at that event (unlike, to pick an easy example, the wide-angle shots of the streets that invariably show a bunch of abandoned bikes rather than corpses). Maybe a military equipment person could tell, but I certainly couldn't.
There's a couple of pictures of what appears to be a single person who got run over by a tank, but the idea that it was ordered by the government, or anything other than a singular tragedy during a poorly managed crowd control effort due to the existence of an active insurgency in another area is ludicrous.
Those are bikes and PLA soldiers.
