We should each decide for ourselves?

Why not zoom in and look carefully? Re-examine the evidence.

Here's a link to the infamous massacre image. (2048x1399)

  • Do you see any blood?

  • Do the bodies appear to lie in unconfortable/unnatural positions?

  • Does this look like a massacre?

Photo is too blurry to say for sure about blood.

Also, lying in uncomfortable positions would certainly happen, but only to people who died instantly such as any who may have been shot in the head. You get shot in the liver, you have time to get into fetal position before exiting. Same with lungs, maybe the heart, etc.

It could be the aftermath of a massacre, yes.

I remember very well the LIVE TV coverage and the guy lying down in front of a tank.

Did they show the person's body crushed to paste?

It's possible that you remember what they wanted you to think. I know i did.

OK whatever. My point is I remember seeing it live and the tank stopped for this one dude.
