When the torch passed through London a day earlier, police repeatedly scuffled with protesters. One tried to grab the torch, while another tried to snuff out the flame with what appeared to be a fire extinguisher. Thirty-seven people were arrested.

  • I truly admire French.

    They love peace. When the Nazi Germans came, the peaceful French surrendered without a blink.

    They are brave. When the Olympic torch arrived, the courageous French assaulted athletes in wheelchair.

    Bravo, France! Keep it up.

  • My children, I am Dalai Lama come in peace.

    Tomorrow is the big show time. Remember we are the clowns at the beginning of the big party -- Olympics!

    Let's show our true face to the whole world. Cheers!

see all

  • u think I live here by choice?  Just shut your mouth

  • You may say you don't support Iraq invasion but still you won't refuse the living comfort that brings the oil looting by the US oil companies there.

  • After the torch left that place where the two world war were originated and Hilter was loved, generally speaking, it goes smoothly.

  • its china. they took out tanks on protestors for building a statue of liberty. China =/= America on protests. Things escalate.

  • who the hell wants to "get involved with China"? Did anyone here call for a war? It's olympic protests man...

  • Well. when it comes to involvement id go

    Iraq > China.

    Honestly one gets us free oil, the other gets us a REAL war. I mean, yea sure we can police the world and get involved in China, but why?

  • I haven't seen any "assaulting" in the French protest videos. I've seen a lot of protesters trying to reach the torch and security blocking them or throwing them flat ion the ground. But that's a whole lot different than "assaulting".

    Have u seen skinheads in action? Now there's real assaulting! But I digress off topic, I apologize.

  • frankly, I never supported the Iraq invasion, nor Afghanistan's. As a matter of fact, I protested in San Francisco the day after Bush got selected (not elected by its people) by the supreme court, so u're talking to a Bush opposer since day 0. But hey, we're off topic. This is about the 2008 CCP Olympiad. There's other clips about those other topics alone, we can meet there if you wish.

  • Your like the people who got involved in Iraq.

    Honestly now you want to get involved with China?
