At least the other comment had the decency to provide sources for their statements
Martial law remained in effect until it was officially lifted on January 11, 1990. They stayed there and kept harassing people. They didnt leave the city, these tanks were not going home and tankman wasn't trying to keep them there. His source doesn't even say what he says it says.

You don’t know where they were going any more than I do. All we know is they were leaving the Square, and he was standing to stop them. We don’t know what conversation he had with the person in the tank (that part of the video was clipped out, presumably for brevity, because it goes on for several minutes).
I will bet anything you never saw images of the 'peaceful protesters' burning busses with people in them, lynching cops, etc... And tanks have no home, they are clearly leaving the square tho. Get over it.
