iAm the tank man




If you aren't informed on the tank man I would be more than happy to tell you. There was death and killings in China. It wasn't gang violence though; it was china's goverment. INNOCENT people were being shot and killed for rioting against these killings. In perhaps one of the most brutal times of all this killing one man, had enough courage to stand in front a colum of tanks. STOP, he exclaimed. Didn't budge or show any sign of intimidation. Shockingly no gunshot hit him, instead the tank tried to move around. Even more shocking, he jumped in the way to which and everyway the tank went. The "Tank Man" repersents the voice of positive rebellion, courage, the voice of a whole city into one person, and much more. After about twenty minutes of him not moving, he was move by some passing civillians that were concerned for him. Are you a tank man?
