My question was very simple from the beginning. I was asking if the
protesters got killed in 64 TAM incident? I have never asked TAM or
TAM Sq. It's YOU mentioning TAM Sq to tone down the massacre by
saying no one died in TAM Sq.!!!

And frankly, how do you know no one died in TAM Sq? The truth of 64
TAM incident has been sealed by PRC government.
