    Where are you reading about the protestors getting disposed? Why are you supporting western propaganda?

        These are both faulty sources in the first place as they both claim a massacre occurred in the square itself when no such thing happened. The deaths that occurred were in battles in numerous different side streets where skirmishes occurred several miles apart.

        A couple deaths did occur in the square -- unarmed officers sent to negotiate who were hung by protesters and burned alive. CW extreme images - https://i.imgur.com/mctpk8M.png https://i.imgur.com/mRkv7e4.png

          You know it's funny when he says that we are sidestepping on answering whether people in China are allowed to talk about it or not when

          1. He assumed they aren't
          2. His whole argument is that they aren't better for criticizing the US which is weird to defend
          3. He didn't bother reading what I posted
          4. He already assumed that a massacre happened which he would know more about if he had bothered to read what I linked. From now on, I am not going to engage with bad faith redditors and simply call them western crackers.

            I did read what you posted, and I showed you photos of shot civilians. I never asserted that I'm only talking about what happened in the square, I never even said "massacre."

            If they are allowed to talk about it on social media than show me examples.

          I know that. Why are moving the goalposts to the square itself? Y'all are too defensive.

          I just picked those sites for the photos.
