Yes one of the pictures isn't of a protest, it is of a Viet Cong agent being executed on the streets of Saigon by General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, South Vietnams police chief, the picture was taken by Eddie Adams. The victim is Nguyen Van Lam AKA Bay Lap. Is that enough of the story Ustwo or would you like more?
Also I hope you aren't referring to the self immolation as not being a form of protest, because clearly it was a protest by Buddhist Monks against Diems government and their religious persecution of Buddhists.
