Today is the 2008 Beijing Olympic Torch Relay in San Francisco - and possibly one of the largest protests in San Francisco history? Some headlines from yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle:
“The world should stand beside Tibet”
“Torch arrives quietly in S.F.”
“Route could change last minute”
“Thousands turn out for speeches by Desmond Tutu, Richard Gere”
and here is some video of Richard Gere at U.N. plaza in San Francisco on YouTube:
Let’s hope the Olympic Torch relay goes on without any major incidents and that no one is injured or harmed.
