Something to remember
« on: June 04, 2003, 02:04:18 PM »
- ON THIS DAY -

On June 4, 1989, Chinese army troops stormed Tiananmen Square in Beijing to crush the pro-democracy movement; hundreds - possibly thousands - of people died.

Everyday, at 5pm, the local station has the 5 o clock funnies, about 2 minutes from 2 comedians.  A few nights ago, one of them was a guy who was teasing about how all the men in China all have that "bowl" haircut...I can't recall all of it but I was laughing my bellybutton off...funny skit!

According to Time Magazine 100 People of the Century, no one even seems to know who that guy was let alone what happened to him

Im sure he was a guest of one of China's finest prison facilities for quite some time before he was shot.

Even if you could ID him from the picture, you wouldnt be able to match the remains.  Ground beef at the hands of "The People."
