25 Years Ago Today

The Tienanmen massacre.

That's all been swept under the rug, and to the degree that anyone in China thinks about it, it's in the context of a highly restrictive media environment which mischaracterizes the events of that day.

One wonders when the people who did this will be made accountable through either the justice system or via the judgement of history.

If these guys are any indication:



It won't ever happen.
