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 saw some M-4 carbines earlier.

Motorcade has stopped for a few minutes now.

Northbound on Van Ness.

Protesters forming at Faye and Franklin.

Many bystanders have caught up with the torch and are running alonside.

They are stopping for photo ops everytime they change runners.

If you're in Los Angeles, digital 4.4 (KNBC Raw) has a live feed, you can go to the KNBC.com website and draw the live feed off of the local website (knbc raw again), or there's live net feeds off the local affiliates up in San Fran.
