    Can you circle the dead bodies in red? Because there literally are none. There are a lot of bikes and a couple of alive people on the ground. What more do you want? Are my eyes just lying to me, so I need to trust Western media instead?

    Edit: To be clear, yeah, something clearly happened that caused these people to panic. A couple dozen people dropped their bikes and fled. A couple other people were presumably knocked off their bikes in the confusion. But where is the killing?

        It's not unreasonable for people to point out that the evidence you provided doesn't prove what you're claiming it does.

        How can you be sooooo much in denial.

        But ... you're the one claiming that abandoned bikes are dead bodies. How does that work?

        Congratulations though, you finally linked a couple of pictures of what could potentially be dead bodies. Or they could be unconscious / injured in the panic which led everyone to drop their bikes and run away. It's pretty difficult to tell.

          Tipping over on your bicycle wouldn't tear apart your clothes like that. I've had plenty of bike accidents, none of them have ever reduced my shirt into a bloody strip of fabric. We can call into question Western narratives without disbelieving our own eyes and trying to convince ourselves that people who have been maimed are just taking naps. You can support something without pretending it's never had any flaws.

            Man, I'm just pointing out that I have no idea what is going on in these grainy, black & white, questionable contextless pictures and neither does any random anti-communist who links them.

            It's really fascinating how you're always on the attack, and never actually address valid criticisms that are made of your arguments. It's almost like you're here specifically to stir shit and not actually to discuss anything. Very :amogus:

            Prove you're not a wrecker and address this: Why did you link a picture of a few dozen abandoned bikes claiming they are dead bodies?

                curious how you focused on that particular instance though, maybe you value some lives less (see conflicts on the African continent and near east) or you're huffing a hefty dose of propaganda or you're yourself a nato orb, which is it? I can't even do a list of the extent of comparable events, it's that long, plus you've been misinformed, evidence suggests the deaths happened in other parts of Beijing and not among students

                    that is too large as i said, even with just recent protests you have all the countries of the arab spring, sudan, mali, myanmar, israel, the philippinnes, India (not sure on that one), afghanistan, nigeria, the ivory coast, south africa, papua new guinea, indonesia... that’s not even talking much larger scale events (second african war, yemen civil war, timor leste struggle for independance...)

          You're right. The more I look into it, the less crazy of an event that it seems. It was still shitty though. And definitely played right into the hands of the anti-communist propagandists.
