Headline is inaccurate, the inverse arson attempt actually occurred in Joinville, several hundred miles from Rio. Video is pretty good. Security made short work of fire extinguisher guy and he is now cooling his heels in the Joinville slammer, which I am guessing is not a good place to be. Story on earlier attempt to douse flame:

For some reason that headline just really cracked me up . Not sure why, but thinking about it a bit, the wheels are really falling off all over the place.

The number of a-holes grow by the day.In Brazil, at least, a case can be made that there is something--lots of things actually--in the water.

No kidding. With body parts washing up in the swim venue, police on strike over late pay, zika, presidential impeachment, super bacteria in the water, open warfare in the favelas: The Rio Olympics are shaping up to be quite a show.

I have grown to dislike the Olympics, not because of the athletes of course. It is a commie run organization filled with corruption, and it does more to bankrupt nations than promoting athleticism.
It needs to be broken up. They should have events in multiple countries venues instead of building brand new massive infrastructure in one place each time. Tens of billions are spent on throwaway infrastructure. What a joke! Pray they never come to your state.

Guy running with torch, being chased by guy with fire extinguisher. The first visual I got was someone running around their house trying to pee on the cat.

But if they hold different events in different countries then how are the athletes going to have one big orgy together?

You ain’t kidding. More every day, trying to out-do each other with the stupid...

I think we should start with fire-hoses first.

So if someone manages to put out that torch...then what? No Olympic games? Everything canceled, don’t bother coming?
Or just light it up again and continue? IOW, who cares.
