Well...well...well...
Fifteen minutes ago a story showed up on Yahoo news. The Olympic flame was extinguished by police (This was in Paris, France), amidst protests and taken aboard the bus following the procession. It is currently unclear how things will proceed from here.
I of course, am laughing inside.
With everything China has done, Tibet aside, their human rights record is atrocious. Perhaps this proves that instead of concentrating on how much money they can make, the world (the USA especially) should concerned more with how human beings are being treated.
I wait anxiously to find out what officials plan to do next. It is tradition that the flame be kept alive, with it extinguished, I wonder how long the Chinese government can keep up it's facade of civic happiness.
OOOH!!!!!!!
Correction, the flame was re-lighted and then extinguished again after protests resumed.
I'm going to try and keep a running update of the events here on my blog. We'll see what happens next. So stay tuned to the news!
