And today, I walked past the ever-present Falon Gong protestors on 42nd Street near the Hudson which demonstates that China still has a long way to go from their big step backwards.

Powder..Patch..Ball FIRE!

Sad Liberty bump
When it was happening I really thought the students might pull it off.
I saw the heroism of a pedestrian against a tank.
Lady Liberty standing in the square.

And then the slaughter.

The one I find most awe-inspiring:

Bttt. Thank you for posting this. It's both a memorial and a reminder.

Those Chinese protestors will not have died in vain. One day, one day, the people of China will be free, and their butchers will be in hell where they belong.

My son was born on June 2, 1989 and I remember bringing him home on the morning of the 4th and watching this play out on TV. As I held him I thought that we had come within a hair's breadth of living in a much freer world. Just imagine how different the world would be today if these students had pulled it off. Imagine if Bush the elder had hinted that the US could not tolerate a massacre...

Thanks for the pics and link. A sad day indeed.

REMEMBER TIANANMEN SQUARE!!!!

[wai-ming]

May the world never forget the atrocities of tyrants who kill their own people to maintain a hold on power.

Thanks for helping us remember the brave Tiananmen students who gave their lives in an effort to bring democracy to their country.

In Cantonese, the words "June 4" luhk sei are similar in sound to the words "Mainland (China) died." A part of China died on that day. A very sad day indeed.

I'll never forget the picture of high officials from Bush Senior's White House drinking toasts to these very same killers hours after the massacre started. That put an end to any support for any Bush in this family.

And now they are dieing in Chinese Catholic Churches!

I'll never forget that day...

It was a sunny So Cal day and I was 19. I was watching Bernie Shaw on CNN. I forget why he was there but things were slowly getting out of control,You could tell by his voice... He seemed kinda nervous describing the events before him. Truly a Incredible Day.

One thing leads to another: Perestroika Deception, PRC Butchery Kowtow, Chinagate, 2 terms, EP-3, 7/16/2001, 9/11/2001, Our "Locarno," ?

Forget the Tienanmen 8,000 miles away in Red China.

Remember the Tienanmen in Texas (Waco) that Jackboot Janet and the Klintons did.

A ping for Chinese honorary FReepers.

A shame on our government for not showing support for these Chinese freedom loving patriots.

What a different World we would live in if the ChiComs went the way of the USSR and Eastern Block communism 13 years ago. Think about every negative influence in World affairs that communist China has had since then, and imagine if had been a positive one (or even no impact).

Decisions have consequences, and our decision to not offer even verbal encouragement to those that could have changed China and thus the World will forever haunt our souls.

Concerning super traitor BILLDO AND CO-BATTLE-AXE SHRILLERY, I wonder if even dogs would lick up after him. They'd probably have more sense.

[kidao35]

This needs to be replayed to the suburban soccer-mommies of this nation while they are trying to stuff their SUVs full of the Chinese made garbage they bought at Wal-Mart.

Also, George Bush, Sr. deserves the Neville Chamberlain Award for Apathy in the Face of Despotism.

13 Years Ago Today.

How soon we forget.....
