Two days ago, @Ultragigagigantic posted a photo of another angle of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Today I present everything leading up to the massacre as well as some photos of the massacre many are not aware of. Please be warned, some photos are NSFW/NSFL

Due to Imgur no longer hosting that information, it is saved on archive.today. Please share so the truth can be viewed by everyone.

Disclosure: I am not the creator of that imgur page, I am only helping to keep the truth alive as I was a teenager in California when all of that went down in China and I am just as disgusted as most people are.

That shit is brutal. First time looking into it further than tank man

The whole topic is fairly interesting. There were actually opposing sides within the Chinese government, one which almost caused it to give in to the student protests, which could've opened China up to be more democratic. Unfortunately the hardliners won and led down to the brutal crackdown.

Thank you for sharing. Some pics I had never seen before

Just brutal. Seeing the tanks with bicycle parts and spokes bent, broken, and stuck to them...
