Because I like being in on all the action that's going on around me (insert "that's what she said" here) I decided to go down to watch the Olympic torch pass by yesterday. HA!
Why would you bring the torch to a city with a large Chinese community and expect people not to protest? Seriously.. After people scaled the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday, did they not see it coming? After what happened in France they were prepared for the worst. I went down there and saw some interesting things, but in general people were pretty calm and fairly nonviolent. Then why did Gavin Newsome (for non-San Franciscans that's our mayor) decide to change the route, so none of the thousands of people lined up could even see it. I understand that they had safety reasons but seriously? Really pissed me off.. The torch has already been extinguished several times.. what's another few times really? I would have been better off sitting in my office watching it on tv :(
