Call a spade a spade. It was tragic, yes. It was her own stupidity, yes. It was an accident.....NO. We all remember the the standoff in Tianemem Square. A pencil salesman of a man, carrying bags of groceries, standing off face to face against a tank. The soldier could easily have advanced his tank crushing this protestor. Instead, the soldier, of an allegedly brutal communist and heartless regime, showed humanitarianism. That soldier could easily have followed orders and advanced crushing everything and everyone in his path. Had that happened , you would all be calling MURDER. Although this woman show stupidity, the operator of the bulldozer showed total disregard for human life and plowed ahead. We cannot call one a courageous hero and another an idiot deserving of death in similar circumstances. The driver of that bulldozer should be charged.
