@gussilber It certainly has the potential to become the iconic photo of the present moment.

@johnedwinmason A decisive moment. The lumbering weight of the law, balanced by the silent grace of resistance. -
@gussilber Yes. Lumbering &, oddly, retreating.

@gussilber Yip. Except the Tank Man was in real danger. -
@Jonathan_Witt And he didn't know he was being filmed@gussilber -
@marcelvanzyl@Jonathan_Witt Correct. There were apparently others who stood up to the tanks too. The fate of the Tank-man remains unknown. - Show more

@gussilber@RLBays Hmm. Except that Chinese guy was in front of a tank, didn't live in a democracy & had his story 100% blocked out in China -
