No, because the whole thing wasn’t commonly aired, most people I ever heard talking about invented a completely different ending which they swore they saw.
They didn’t run this guy over as they were leaving the square well after the events of that night had ended. I don’t believe there’s any proven record of tanks killing anyone at all (specifically tanks, I’m not denying that there was bloodshed).
I’ve seen a few photos of bodies that looked run over. But nothing that rises to that insane claim that sometimes floats around that they mushed a crowed and washed them down the drain.
Based on the fact that he got medical attention and based on the tanks explicitly not running over Tank Man, I’m inclined to think this was an accident.
Queer, we’ve met a couple of times on this platform. We both know you would not extend the same benefit of the doubt to, say, the forces perpetrating the 1968 Orangeburg massacre. They too allowed people to be treated by hospitals. They too allowed protesters to be rushed to safety after being shot. Hell, they even took them there themselves.
There’s a vast difference between someone getting run over and someone being shot. Being run over can actually be an accident. Opening fire is never an accident.
Also, people get gunned down by the US government all the time. It’s extremely common. China doesn’t resort to that kind of violence nearly as often.
Tank man didn’t get run over.
Do people not know this?

No, it just caused a giant massacre when they didn’t run him over. Much better.
What?
What exactly do you think happened?
How does that make sense?

No, Not Tank man. But Feng Zhang for example.

This guy? Doesn’t look like he got run over to me.

He got medical attention not from the military, but because other protesters rushed him to a hospital.
The military allowed those other protesters to rush him to a hospital and allowed the hospital to treat him. Why didn’t the military stop them?

So why would we do that to the military?
