Looks like some of the protestors have caught up to the runner and entourage.

They're heading to the Golden Gate Bridge - going for the photo-op.

Glory be to the Dictatorial Chinese Pigs. At American expense. Bastards.

Now heading to Christy Field - down the path from Golden Gate Bridge. They’ll probably head up the path from Christy field to the bridge.

More protester catching up.

The cops have been running alonside for a couple of miles now and appear to be getting tired.

Protesters have gotten past police lines at Pier 29 and are headed for Justin Herman Plaza.

It’s going to be interesting to see if they end up at Justin Herman Plaza where the protesters are heading.

I don’t think SF cops are used to forced marches.. they are earning their pay today and OT.

Mayor Gavin Newsom talks with officials before the start of the Olympic torch relay on Wednesday, April 9, 2008, in San Francisco. The Olympic torch was rerouted away from thousands of demonstrators and spectators who crowded the San Francisco waterfront to witness the flame's symbolic journey to the Beijing Games.

Very nice! I know enough Mandarin to translate. Plus, it's a well-known phrase...

A guy on KTVU just said that the torch will end up at Justin Herman Plaza....even if they have to drive it there or take it by boat. LOL

Perhaps someone attempted an illegal planting.
