Ok, here you go then, the exact same image that has been on several western media outlets including the NY Times.
On the Left is what has been posted. It looks like it's the Chinese military that was rolling through and causing the destruction and these two are fleeing.
When we look at the entire image what we see are the true aggressors in this situation.
Another situation

Another image that was seen on the BBC and the Nytimes and various other western media outlets. But do we see just what this barricade is put up to stop?

This is what it was put up against.
Now tell me this is not mis-representation? Why would our media put up such images that may mis-represent - to fit in with western belief of who they (communist Chinese) are so as to resonate with the sentiments against them. Remember, everything they do is evil, what we do is good.

Foreign oppressor? There's the band wagoning right there. Tibet is a part of Chinese territory and has been so for the last 700 years. These are not some freedom fighters, they are nothing but thugs. I have absolutely no sympathy for such thugs.
