Video of the rerouted Olympic torch relay in San Francisco to avoid Tibetan protesters who had been waiting along the waterfront.
With all that security, the “goodwill” that is supposed to be hallmark of the Olympic games just went down the drain. Links to videos of “sky-high” protests on the Golden Gate bridge here and here.
Of course, it’s not the first time that the Olympic games was marred by protests.

1LOL. China is literally playing hide and seek with freedom of speech.
The sad thing is how people in China will never know what really happened.

2Ain’t that true for many countries. Japanese kids didn’t start reading about WWII atrocities committed by Japan until recently and that’s even on a very limited sense. I bet American kids don’t get taught about “the other side” of American colonialism either.
