Immediately seems very sus that there doesn't seem to be any muzzle flash, gunshots, or even guns from what I could see. Yet there's gunshot sounds from the beginning. There also doesn't seem to be any dead people, few injuries, yet the commentary acts like there's loads.
Does someone know if they're even translating the Mandarin correctly?
Found in a Reddit thread about Tiananmen Square
their own army was firing savagely at them
The video they show for this is just confused people looking at a fire in the distance lol.

I want to know what they fired at. It could have been any of the following: protestors that hijacked guns from troops they killed, protestors that hijacked military vehicles, protestors that were throwing moloktov cocktails, protestors that were throwing rocks (ala Kent state, I doubt it though). My second question is. How the fuck are Chinese protestors 99999999999x more brave than American protestors? Even if the gov took all of my stuff I wouldn't be brave enough to "suicide by army". My third question is, it's clear that civilians weren't scared of the military at all. If you look at the Associated Press pictures from the event, people were hanging around basically gawking at what happened. This tells me that it was a group of troublemakers, so to speak and civilians not involved did not fear the military.
I don't know what was fired at in the video but it's consensus among basically all the parties that the PLA shot up the protesters' sound systems. So that is one option.

The shots off screen? I have no idea.

I can't speak for all of the protesters because most of them were just normal people with diverse grievances, but I know there was a concurrent attempted color revolution, which means the :cia: was involved in running guns to the worst people they could find in the area.
While I doubt everything that the reporter says is true, there is no doubt in my mind that people were injured. Who they were, how they were injured, remains more up for debate, as I don't trust the reporter. I'd love to hear what they are actually saying in Mandarin.
