makes me so sad that our society is so eff'd up.

 

What eventually happen to him?

 

I think he died,
There was a same Incident of an Indian too, Name = Babu Genu

 

perhaps the tanks has stopped, how knows,
but yes these are poweful images

 

Very powerful images, Just shows me how lucky i am.

 

i never did know what happened to the guy who was blocking the tanks. they have this video on tv, but they always cut it off at the crucial moment.

maybe it doesn't matter now. and what matters is that our society should never have any need for tanks and any other machineries for the purpose of controlling others.

i watched "hotel rwanda" last week, and was amazed that kind of thing happened and the world just played deaf.


thanks for the pics getjimmy.

 

here's one of the strongest images ever...it even won a Pulitzer in 1994. It's made by Kevin Carter
