Damn, I wasn't expecting protests to directly affect the Olympic relay to this degree. Good, though - Olympic officials should be forced to explain what kind of message they're trying to send by picking China to host the games. Still, I feel bad for the athletes - it's not their fault.

Quoted: Security officials snuffed out the Olympic torch and carried it through Paris in the safety of a bus at least five times Monday before canceling the final run of a relay repeatedly disrupted by chaotic protests against China’s human rights record.
