Remembering Tiananmen Square

I’ll do the links later today. Earlier, I got a bit angry remembering the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. I put a video of what happened on my Facebook page. Then Ed Berliner of Cold Stone Sports passed on a link to me of a documentary PBS Frontline did in 2006 on “Tank Man”, the person who blocked the line of tanks that were snaking out of the square after so many people were killed by the Chinese Army.

It just raised my ire of what Communist China did to so many innocent, unarmed people. To this day, we don’t know the exact number of people who were killed and how many were injured. The Communist government won’t release numbers. It said just over 200 were killed and we know from reports that scores more were murdered.

Nicholas D. Kristof of the New York Times remembers the firing on innocent civilians.

I just wanted to remember for the people in China who can’t.
