Because no one cares to report anything else. How is it unique in its bloodiness? You are rendering the human history a lovely picture of peace and kind. It may not be as nice as the Chinese government portrait it, and it may not be as bad as europeans portrait it either. There is nothing wrong with leaving it to the past and move one. |

Absolutely not. It's uniqueness comes from is bloodiness in the context of the situation.
Most crimes of that caliber happen by systematically alienating a people, 'legitimizing' these clearly inhumane actions in some way.
Take the Holocaust for example. Jews were portrayed as the source of all problems for years and subsequently slaughtered in the millions. Clearly inhumane and wrong... And way worse than the square was, but still a 'us vs them' situation.
On the square, you got the military doing a parade and civilians standing in the way in a demonstration. Their only crime was their unwillingness to let the parade continue. And the military opened fire on these people, because they were standing in the way and unwilling to leave
You don't think that such a situation is unique?
