i've heard bits of pieces, but to be honest I don't even know exactly what people are protesting about. I have heard "Free Tibet," but I don't really know the circumstances behind it.

All I saw was people trying to take out the flames with water balloons (I think).

Well china took control of tibet in a violent way and pics of it got around. Now that china is hostin the olympics. Some people don't like the idea and think china is just people killers....something along the lines of that....they just arrested 32 ppl plannin to bomb the olympics...its gettin pretty hardcore

They should be but some people just really want to push their beliefs so much that they're taking it out on the olmpics. Oh well, protestors will be protestors
