Damn dude, are we ignoring what happened in the square aside from the famous tank pic?

They opened fire killing hundreds, if not thousands of civilians. We of course do not know the true number, but we know this as a minimum.

That is all actually bullshit. It's the common knowledge of Western chauvinists who never investigated anything on the topic, they just tell each other these things and it never dawns on them to read a book.

There was almost no fighting whatsoever in the square and accordingly no massacre. The deaths were in fighting in the streets in the surrounding miles, and again not a massacre, but back-and-forth. One of the more famous is a PLA soldier's body burned in / on a car.
