The only stop in North America for the Olympic Torch was on April 9, 2008 in San Francisco. Thousands turned out to support China's hosting of the games, and to protest its human rights abuses. This video tries to give voice to both sides.

  • only ignorant idiots would protest the olympic games. The olympics are meant to be peaceful and entertaining. Only Tibetan pigs and their supporters are stupid enough to bring something political into something meant for entertainment. Dalai Lama, why don't you do this world a favor and go kill yourself. Tibet will always be a part of China. Begging for other country's help and support ain't gonna help jack squat. It'll only create more violence. Leave us americans alone you dumb fucker.........

  • @thewiffenpoof: Ignorant. They're just a bunch of American yuppie brats. Look at that last one, who thinks America is paradise on Earth, and every other country on this planet is a famine-ridden third world war-torn hellhole. If I wasn't up to my eyeballs in work, I'd have gone there waving placards with "his holiness" and his human rights friend Jesse Helms comparing Tibet's slave system with that of the Confederate States.

  • I don't know if these crackers are more racist or just plane ignorant.

  • believe wat you want. No one's getting killed except yourself. Learn history. And what about that massacre by TIbetians in 1989... oh course... that's FINE cuz ppl like you don't have enough educartion

  • and you should study your history and geography better

  • Historically speaking,East Turkistan should be a part of China,but Tibet should not be a part of China.

  • However,East Turkistan has a different story. Chinese Han Dynasty controled East Turkistan as early as 2nd century BC.Ouyghours came later,they came to East Turkistan during the 8th century AD,almost 1000 years after the Chinese.Muslims destroyed the remaining Chinese colonies in East Turkistan during the 11th century.

  • Actually Tibet was an independent kingdom during much of the Middle Age Period,it was called the Tho Bo Kingdom by the ancient Chinese people and it kept a good relationship with Chinese dynasties.

  • man... americans are so stupid,

    theres even video here on youtube proving CIA plotted the tibet problems.
