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.

I think the protest got the desired effect of embarrassing the Chi-Coms. (I hope).

If the protesters are smart they’d be all making their way to the destination point and encircle it so the torch can’t get in.

What’s with the crappy versions of “Sweet Caroline” and “Pour Some Sugar On Me” going on in the background?

Can you imagine what it’d be like to get stuck in a sudden road closure because these morons just decided to run it /somewhere/ because it’s the idea that’s ‘important’ rather than actually coming up with a valid plan.

Motorcade is stopping every 200 yards.
Dozens and dozens of bystanders are catching up and walking only yards away from the torch.
Scanners say to keep moving or they are going to stop the run.

It looks like it will be good propaganda for Communist China
Torch runner in America, has to be guarded by police
Also keeps any of those that want to bring attention to the repressive evil regime of China away from the cameras.

Professor Harry Edwards is on Ktvu providing commentary
Is this the level of dignity one would wish to see the olympic event seen descending to?
