Olympic Protestors Fend Off Liberty Hating Athletes

4.07.2008

It looks as though carrying the torch has become a bit dangerous, as evidenced by recent demonstrations in France. Apparently, there have been protests all over the world about the Olympics being held in China.


Here's the article:

I particularly like the part where the protesters threw things at a wheelchair-bound athlete. And only in France is the bread hard enough to be a projectile. Viva la Revolucion!


Actually, I think the protests are great (if a bit sloppy in their execution). I didn't realize that there was so much global sentiment about human rights abuses in China.
