I wouldn’t find it surprising that some of the protestors suggested something like that. But the fact is that this didn’t happen, and the protestors (and bystanders) who were killed were not attempting to break into a government building, attack government officials, or overthrow the government. If they were killed by security guards while attempting to rush the palace, that would be different.

one group of "peaceful" protesters decided to kill over 100 soldiers on the same street and one day before tank man decided to jump on a tank.

The protestors did fight back. But that’s a way higher number for military deaths than I’ve seen recorded anywhere, and thousands of civilians (including a lot of bystanders) were dead before tank man did his thing.

Source is Wikipedia

Lol. No. Wikipedia didn't exist in 1989. Please learn what sources actually are, rather than doing the usual shitlib thing of assuming that Wikipedia is like the gold tablets of Joseph Smith; a divine font of perfect knowledge straight from God.

I’ve never had any major issues with Wikipedia but I know it can have issues.

Do you have other sources you’d like to suggest I look at?
