    Armed troops and tanks made their way to the square on the night of June 3 and into the morning hours of June 4. They soon shot those who stood in their way and crushed those who wouldn’t move out of it.

      Once again, that’s not out of line with what he and I said. There were barricades and fighting in the streets of Beijing, but the people occupying the square were negotiated with and peacefully dispersed.

        I don’t understand why you think it’s important to insist that nothing happened precisely inside Tiananmen Square, but you are perfectly happy for a massacre to have occurred in, say, Changan Avenue.

        Anyway, to respond to the original challenge rather than argue your questionable morals.

        A tank set ablaze by protesters burns in Tiananmen Square on June 3.

        A Chinese armored personnel carrier, with crushed bicycles stuck to its side, sits in Tiananmen Square on June 4.
