student protests
Very reductionist.
run over by tanks
Not really what happened it was more akin to rioters clashing with the military (standing in as riot police).

I’ve seen a lot of pictures from the day both before and after the military intervention. I haven’t seen evidence characterising it as anything other than student-led protests, which of course were joined by other civilians. Do you have any? BTW I find it disheartening when other leftists don’t seem to understand the concept of critical support, and act like they have to justify anything and everything a government does simply because they otherwise support it. This only drives away others who are open to e.g. opposition of NATO, but not willing to deny human rights abuses in support of that goal. Just seems irrational and like you don’t actually stand for the values rather than tribalism.
