I watched 'truncated torch relay' on TV. Looked like TV viewers were the only ones whe were watching it! They avoided all routes where people were waiting! At this rate it is better to drop rest of the relay and confine it to China, it's becoming a farce!
Earlier, pro-Tibetan protesters in the area complained that they had been pepper sprayed, although they didn't know who did it. San Francisco resident Matt Winger, 22, flushed his red eyes with water and said, "It stings like hell."
Kids really had some fun there. And the comments go up to >1600, it touches American's nerve.

Do you consider Tibet, part of China?
Do you realize that many in the world, view China as the occupying force in Tibet? China was not invited, did not give them a choice, just invaded them. I would not be complaining to much about their behavior right now. For the most part it is quite peaceful, especially compared at other methods used around the world through out history by nations trying to gain independence.
