    The iconic Tank Man photo was taken by AP photographer Jeff Widener, but several photographers shot the event.

    sneakily leaving out the fact he was stopping tanks leaving the area.

    That is the entire point of the photo. He was stopping tanks being used to suppress protests.

    It wasn’t one cohesive protest but tens of factions with their own agendas from hard-line maoists wanting to rollback reforms to students wanting more consumer goods and the end of the focus on supporting the peasantrybat the time.

    Doesn’t really matter what position the protestors held. Their speech was suppressed by your government. You keep ignoring that.

    I’m going to end this here.

    Because you can’t admit the truth. All you can do is keep playing the race card.
