Fun fact: that guy harassed that tank, which tried to avoid him and then stopped. He climbed on it, then walked away. Overall, uneventful. This footage has been available for decades.

Liberals still believe he got squished based purely on vibes and propaganda.

This guy was only killed afterwards after being taken away, but plenty of other people we shot or run over right behind him.

Boddies

If you look closer at the picture, nobody is dead here. Most "bodies" are bikes, and the one that are really people are all alive, with raised heads.

Fucking atrocious human rights violations and murder vibes always get me down.

I heard that after this scene he just disappeared and was never found?

If I'm right it was the population who fraught back their oppressive regime but I can't remember exactly when or where (if someone could give me some Info's here?)

It was a very very hard time for this country and this image was and IS a symbol for freedom.

If any historian could chime in :)

Nobody knows who the guy was, who the guys who brought him away were, or what he was yelling at the soldiers about.

In 1990, the CPC essentially said "We got the guy's name from some journalists, and the name isn't listed as dead or imprisoned so who knows if that's the real guy and what happened"
