      The context is that there was an attempted color revolution in Beijing that day. Armed rebels battled the PLA. The lowest estimates for deaths is around ~200, which includes Chinese soldiers and most likely several collateral deaths as well. Images of a few dead people are to be expected, and you can't really tell from most images whether the dead were innocent bystander or combatants. The hoax is that the PLA opened fire on the thousands of unarmed demonstrators in the square. The truth is it emptied peacefully (there is even video of this happening) and the deaths all occurred elsewhere throughout Beijing.

      The first one looks like a place bodies were brought to. It's surrounded by other people, so it was probably by a medic station. The second looks like either explosives or someone who got run over.

      No one's saying that there wasn't conflict on that day, but the magnitude and scale of the conflict are in question. Was it thousands ground to a pulp and carried away in drmptrucks? Or was it a few hundred victims of sectarian conflict either on a side or collateral damage during the engagement.

      I don't see people being disposed of like garbage in those images, just injured/dead people being looked after and taken care of in the way you usually do after conflict.
