I think a majority of people already think so, this is like the Emperor’s new clothes parade. Everyone thinks something but nobody has said it out loud yet.

Traffic dead stop on Van Ness Route 101. Motorists caught by surprise.

Anchor asking what is the point of a torch run if nobody sees it?

Runners will be running behind “Duck” vehicles. These are trucks that also are boats. The ladder is hanging off back which will allow runner to jump onboard truck and then truck , in emergency, can drive into bay and escape as a boat.

The point is some film footage that the CCP can edit in their propaganda news broadcasts about a gloriously successful event.

This type of vehicle is both a truck and a boat. allows runners to escape if mobbed.

Torch in view at Van Ness and Pine.

Headed towards Broadway.

Standing next to two WWII vintage DUKW amphibious vehicles.

Headed for the water?

On the move!

Let's be honest here...a lot of us wanted to see that run interrupted. But not this way. It's too sneaky.

Protesters were 100% stupid.

They should have just lined the road with their backs turned to the road. (tibet flags on their backs)

The media would have eaten it up.

Now they are nowhere in camera.

Stupid hippies vs stupid commies.

All they want is for China to be able to say they did it (whther sanyone saw it). It like changing planes in JFK and then saying you spent a vacation touring New York City.

Yes, I just saw a couple. Good grief, the POTUS doesn't warrant this kind of security.
