And On We Blindly Stumble! 3.4

Today is the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Protests in China. Thousands of Chinese students and democratic activists demonstrated in a bid fro democracy and freedom from the socialist powers. Hundreds of People's Liberation Army troops and Paramilitary Police tried to break up the activists, many were gunned down as troops broke up the multi day rally, The picture above has come to symbolize the struggle for freedom in China, this unknown individual engaged in a modern-day David versus Goliath showdown. Standing down a column of tanks sent in to mop up the remaining activists, described as a "unknown soldier of the Chinese democratic revolution." Some think he may be a 19-year-old named Wang Weilin, but there are speculators who still doubt the identity of the person who stood down these tanks. Today the search continues for the individual, not only by political activists, but by the government. Today the square is guarded with hundreds of police officers and paramilitary police officials, perhaps to discourage any anniversary gathering by political activists and no apoligies or remamberances have been proclaimed by the goverment for the massacre of thousands during and after the crackdown.
