@Skid how did it
it started when Hu Yaobang died
it was originally just a memorial event, which is permmitted
but then, a few people started spreading rumors like he was murdered by someone in the Party, and kinda pointed towards Deng
so the people was not happy, and they started protesting at Zhongnanhai and places
then they started publicly namingly insult Party leaders, regardless who, they find a name, they insult it
an then there are posters that says "down with the communist party"
at first, the government allowed it, since they understand it was probably because of the people being sad over Hu Yaobang
at Hu's funeral, the govt allowed people to participate as well
but afterwards, there were people who made posters slandering on more Party leaders, for students, they made Da Zi Bao attacking their principal
they even tried to stop going to classes
and tried to raid the universities' offices
as well as some govt buildings
they contacted different cities trying to create a bigger riot
they started tearing down shops, burning cars, especially ambulances
and govt vehicles
its "weapons free" at that point
well, they got sticks and knives
but that is about it
fast forward on to the siege day
to open fire
they robbed an ammunition truck
the meme refers to the army
right you are saying the protestors were actually rioters correct?
then the protestors got guns and ammo from robbing an ammo truck, and tried to obstrcut the life of people
yea
they burned taxis, buses, police cars, army vehicles, ambulances, firetrucks, shops, buildings, school
they were literally raiding eveything
before that, they tried to talk to the premier, Li Peng, whom agreed to meet them, but then on the date, the students broke the deal and then told everyone that the govt refused to talk
since they were murdering so many people, and rioting so much, we tried to put an end to it
we sent in Army and tanks
though the tanks never fired
mainly used as blockades
they should have from the sounds of it
what do you mean
they seemed like they were up to no good, the "protestors"
that were murdering
yea
so i say
let the tanks do their job
