I've told friends that I have a sinking feeling a Tiananmen Square-like event might happen soon in the US. I predict that there will be people online arguing the semantics of what constitutes a "massacre" or a "tragedy."

I hope we never get to that.

Did you see the videos of police SUVs driving through the people? The tank in Tiananmen Square actually stopped.

That was just one tank though. You can't really compare what happened in Tiananmen Square to what's happened in the US.
