      I am not sure they’re comparable. How many people are even aware tank man didn’t die/saw the full clip and the history surrounding it?

        Tank man is not what happened at Tiananmen square. That was the next morning as the tanks were returning from the slaughter of college kids.

        And iirc, the reason they didn’t run his ass over too is because they knew there was about a thousand cameras staring them down, live on the air across the world.
