Get your popcorn boys and girls this is going to be good.

China has lined up 1000's of supporters, while protestors range from Tibetan monks and their supporters, Burmese Monks, other critics of China, and your usual rabble rousers.

It’s like we are being asked to cover up mistakes china has made and doesn’t know how to handle.

There is nothing proud in how they handled themselves the last 100 years, that we coddle them as we do is of no comfort to all the dead at their hands.

WOW. Runner is encircled by 10 blue clad chi-coms and then lined by 50 police on foot and 2 lines (15 each?)of motorcycle cops.

hand-off after 1 and 1/2 blocks..

this is such a joke.. only a few get to even see the relay..

Mayor Gastric Nuisance vowed no repeat of torch disruptions like London and Paris.. he’s delivering

Torch stopped again. Lots of confusion.

Scanner traffic imploring them to keep moving.

On the move for a couple of hundered yards.

Stopped to light the torch again.

This is really stupid.

It’s ridiculous how much this is costing the US taxpayers to fund a CCP propaganda event.

That streaming is about a minute or so behind real time

On CNN they started running at least a minute before they did on the sky7 live feed.

On the KGO channel though they are on real time

(laughter)

if they have to re-light the torch over & over, what exactly is the point of running it around the world, even in the absence of protests?

It’s not a fiasco until a naked hippie grabs the torch and does something unspeakable ... but this probably qualifies as a Cluster Fxxx.
