Do you have some sources for those quotes?

Yeah, but the People’s Party (ÖVP) which was kind of centrist (liberal economy, socially conservative) is moving more and more to the right side of the spectrum. They have been in the government for decades and are more organized and connected. In my eyes they are a greater danger to society than the right-wing FPÖ.

Together they have the majority, and I don’t trust the head of ÖVP (Nehammer) in his promise not to team up with Kickl (FPÖ head).

that the law only requires vehicles to stop for pedestrians already in the crosswalk

Where I live it’s different. If someone wants to cross at a crosswalk, they have the right of way. If a child want’s to cross anywhere, they have the right of way. Not on freeway (Autobahn) or highway (Schnellstraße) of course.

Also there is the Vertrauensgrundsatz (trust principle?). If yo cannot trust someone to know the laws or follow the law (children, visibly under influence, …) treat them as such. Keep distance and keep slow, give right of way if necessary.

In two of three final reports there are bombs worn or placed by the attackers. In two of the reports the final assault was started by government personell (either directly, letting it look like the hostage takers started it, or by killing the guy on a dead man’s switch). In one report it was classified as a suicide attack from the start.

The dead man’s switch was confirmed by one of the surviving attackers. He also was the one speaking of a dispute between the attackers concerning the target building (school vs. police station).

They wore explosive belts. That’s why i supect they intended to blow themself up. Sure, I could be wrong. But then you got to find better sources.

Why are you getting cynical now?

I asked where it states that Putin bombed the school. Your own source contradicts your comment. So please explain.

Where in that article does it say it was bombed deliberately? And by Putin?

The first explosions were the bombs placed by the attackers themselves. The fighting afterwards was as expected.

No, i don’t need sources on that. I’d like to hear claims on what happened in and around the square… Why it’s called a massacre? How many were killed? On which side were those killed? Were the ‘sides’ as clear cut as we are told? Why were there protests and why did it escalate?

What happened exactly at Tiananmen Square? You have some good sources?

E: Yeah, i get it. “Look it up! Everyone knows!” I did, and I’d like some sources on the claims everyone thinks that happened. Most media outlets call it massacre but forget to put numbers, reasons and sources in the articles. What do YOU think what happened? What did YOU hear/read? What was the reason for the protest and what was the reason for the escalation?
