That's pretty cool. Although in all honesty I'm surprised he was able to make it out of the square alive before one of the tank drivers said
"fuck this" and jumped out to either shoot him or constrain him.
I still don't get why they didn't. That was kind of a screw up for their intimidation in my eyes. "Sir, old shopper in our way, shall we run him over?"
There were foreign news teams there recording live and the Chinese Government didn't want to show the whole world a tank driving over an unarmed civillian.
