This description on what happened on June 4 at Tiananmen sounds accurate and agreeable to me. No mention of any deaths on the Square but an emphasis on worker's protests and death on the way to the square and the many factions. Bravo. I wonder if my years of trying to educate the masses on the internet is finally paying off.

Remember everyone! Nobody died at the Square itself. There is no Tiananmen Square Massacre. It is a myth. We have hundreds who died on the streets but not at the Square.
