I think it will be a long journey to China for that light and there will be peaceful protests at every step of the way.

Those police bastards, detaining and arresting people running around restricted areas past official barricades to wave banners at the camera while a speaker is talking.

It gets the message across though, doesn't it?

I wouldn't blame the police in this, nor the protesters. The police are doing their job and the
protesters are doing what's right.

Wait until they try that in China.

It's a long time before the games in China and the world at large will know by then, as if they don't already, just how oppressive the Chinese government is not only to their own people but to the people of Tibet that they invaded.

As long as the protests are peaceful I agre with them every step of the way.

so they should protest to! i love the thought of unrest and uproar (im a sex pistols/ punk fan, im gonna be like that! ) so i thought it was funny when they got on tv with their banner. they're being slaughtered in their own country and are expected to sit back and be cheerful? bollocks, neither would i mate
