They deserved their fate?

Again, what capacity were you there in?

From my perspective, it makes me feel like a brain surgeon talking to a cult member about why it might not be a good idea to drink the Kool-Aid..

- I believe you saw full footage of this tank man. It shows great restraint from Chinese military. - Eli - 2:23am 6/5/19
  - I wondered what Putin's take on Tiananmen Square was. Thanks for clearing that up. [NT] - ND_in_DRO - 8:17am 6/6/19
  - Tank Man, from accounts of those there, was later distracted & pulled out of the way. He was... - TakethetrainKnute - 3:37pm 6/5/19
    - Being pulling out of the way is possible. It's pretty common since confrontation with military was - Eli - 2:14pm 6/6/19
      - Congratulations. Because of the strict censorship, the truth is not known and likely never will be. [LINK] - TakethetrainKnute - 2:41pm 6/6/19
    - We still don't know who he is. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 1:39pm 6/6/19
  - Tanks for the memories. [NT] - Aragoto - 11:16am 6/5/19
    - Sure man. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 2:18pm 6/5/19
  - If only the U.S. Military was more like the Chinese military? - TakethetrainKnute - 9:13am 6/5/19
    - Better let video speak out. Keep it in mind, these being stoned soldiers have weapons - Eli - 1:52pm 6/5/19
      - So you believe the massacre of 800 to 4000 pro-democracy demonstrators was warranted? - TakethetrainKnute - 2:00pm 6/5/19
        I believe what I saw/experienced. The most brutal/evil thing of 30 yrs ago is the way killing [IMAGE] - Eli - 2:41pm 6/5/19
        I gave you credit for the two Super Bowls...but now I think it's time for you to hang it up, Eli... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 2:46pm 6/5/19
        OK. it's time for you to stop asking why many Chinese don't mention Tiananmen. They know it better [NT] - Eli - 3:03pm 6/5/19
        They have no idea what happened - Chris94 - 4:47pm 6/5/19
        That's a good example to beg another question: why their parents don't talk about it to them. Anyone - Eli - 5:06pm 6/5/19
        Eli, it’s not like it was covered on the nightly news - Chris94 - 9:58pm 6/5/19
        Not clear what you referred to? It's covered everyday on nightly news in those days and aftermath - Eli - 2:33pm 6/6/19
        Not in China. You can't find the image of the Tank Man on the Chinese internet. [NT] - Chris94 - 3:35pm 6/6/19
        
        This how you remember it? [NT] [IMAGE] - TakethetrainKnute - 2:47pm 6/6/19
        
        Yes, we all know why. The barbarity and propaganda forced people to shut their mouths if they know - TakethetrainKnute - 5:17pm 6/5/19
        You think you know. You don't know how you are boxed in your thinking by your ideology. [NT] - Eli - 5:58pm 6/5/19
        I suspect this is actually far more true of you. Anyway, what’s your story that makes you support . - TakethetrainKnute - 6:36pm 6/5/19
        My every post has facts. Yes, I was there from beginning (4/15) to the end. I know it very well - Eli - 2:40pm 6/6/19
        And your sound judgment from being there is that the massacre of the protesters was warranted? - TakethetrainKnute - 2:43pm 6/6/19
        Of course It's warranted. U.S. would do same if Times Square/national mall were occupied - Eli - 3:22pm 6/6/19
        Death toll of 202? As calculated by a mother in China trying to fight the tidal wave of government - TakethetrainKnute - 3:45pm 6/6/19
        A mother started it but it became org later. The investigation was done all over China for 20 yrs - Eli - 4:50pm 6/6/19
        You are either willfully ignorant or consciously evil... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 8:07am 6/7/19
        Your personal attack shows your cowardice to handle truth. Your rhetoric made me sick. [NT] - Eli - 5:06pm 6/7/19
        Good. I'm glad you're siick... though you should be sick from the slaughter at Tiananmen. [LINK] - TakethetrainKnute - 12:28pm 6/10/19
        
        Yeah, sure we would. Welcome to America, by the way. I assume you just got here. [NT] - Chris94 - 3:36pm 6/6/19
        I came before Waco siege. You weren't even born yet then, I assume. [NT] - Eli - 4:30pm 6/6/19
        
        Of course. They ruined Gorby’s wreath laying. In Eli’s world that is the death penalty right quick. [NT] [LINK] - Frank L - 2:59pm 6/6/19
        
        You mean they know better than to mention the subject. [NT] - Frank L - 3:26pm 6/5/19
        
        I was referring to people in general. I already know why the Chinese don't mention Tiananmen Square - TakethetrainKnute - 3:13pm 6/5/19
        
        Stop being globalist, neo con, idealist. China have right to kill own people. [NT] - Frank L - 2:06pm 6/5/19
        Eli is a big fan of Chinese take-out... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 2:11pm 6/5/19
        He has a Mongolian beef with any criticism of it. [NT] - Frank L - 2:16pm 6/5/19
        He demonstrates a wonton disregard for human life. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 2:32pm 6/5/19
        While pu puing their barbarity. [NT] - Frank L - 2:54pm 6/5/19
  - Wait - are you really praising Chinese restraint here? - Chris94 - 8:21am 6/5/19
    - Yes. Chinese gov for all its fault, derserves credits for its restraint. Students acted like spoiled - Eli - 1:38pm 6/5/19
      - Yeah, their restraint only killed 1500-5000 students - Chris94 - 2:41pm 6/5/19
        Where did you get this 1500-5000 number? from fake news? Here is the list of the dead [LINK] - Eli - 3:20pm 6/5/19
        Death toll estimations vary wildly [LINK] - Chris94 - 4:45pm 6/5/19
      - Thanks Stalin. You would have obviously handled it much better, - Frank L - 1:57pm 6/5/19
