I'm less concerned about the specifics of where it happened and how many people died, and more concerned about how military personnel shot live ammunition at citizens.
Yes I know it's crazy right, even the Chinese government doesn't deny they shot people after at least a dozen police/soliders were killed and immolated and others taken hostage... In a similar situation, I am absolutely sure that the west would not use lethal force...
I don't think you are proving the point you think you're proving.
you're right, i think we're in agreement. the side with guns and tanks retaliated against the side with bricks and molotov cocktails by opening fire
No, I don't think we are. So tell me, how would the west react in a similar situation?
Not fifteen years before in the US the national guards shot at a group of 300 protestors who hadn't been occupying the place for months, didn't have Molotov cocktails, didn't take hostages, didn't immolate anyone. They killed four, and wounded nine.
Yeah, yeah... This government is shitty, that government is shitty, let's have a big, shitty government dick swinging contest!
What do you think the state should do when a group, funded with millions of foreign dollars, starts burning and kidnapping police/soldiers?
If this happened here y'all would be the first to enlist, I guarantee it.
