    It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?

    Folks, I present to you: The History Understander.

    The famous photo of the girl giving a flower to a soldier happened in the US, at the Pentagon; not China. And it was a chrysanthemum; Guns and Roses is a band that your grandpa really likes.

    Anyway, I remember that time when the military swooped in on a protest and murdered a bunch of unarmed civilians (CW: photo of a dead body in article). Only a truly evil government would order their soldiers to do something like that.

      Or that time it happened again like a week later, but it wasn't white kids so it didn't become a cultural touchstone that everyone remembers

      Only a truly evil government

      Hey now, let's not discount the people who, being polled, blamed the protesters.
