They changed the route and only let the pro-China people know about it?

looks like it's going on a boat, to be ferried up along the embarcadero.
What a clusterfuck.

20. It's the supporters who are losing it because they can't see |
|
the torch. People have been there since 4am. It's not the protestors. But they'll get blamed for any "riots".

I think she's in the middle of where the pro-China peeps are. From what people have said they are getting all pissed off because the torch run has been either moved or some shit.

Protesters mobbed the bus with the flame and made it very late to the starting point. The flame then went from the bus around through the service areas to a warehouse. After about 15 minutes now it's speculated that the flame will now take a BOAT to the Embarcadero, thereby bypassing the opening ceremony and thousands that have turned out to see the Olympic Flame.
Not a very auspicious start.

21. now a police van has moved in front of the warehouse |
|
the CNN blabbermouths still have no idea what's going on which makes watching this so fun.
Will the torch get on the boat? Will the torch come back out and run in the streets?
Stay tuned :D

36. I wonder if this is a sign that they'll try to run the torch after all |
|
Has she been told any information in advance? I don't know what it's like to be a police officer, but I imagine it would be stressful to be in a situation like this with no concrete information.

There are more cops than people.
We will beat you down and tase you if you speak out. I agree with another thread that they just should have been allowed to protest and get it over with.
:-(
you just can't have a good protest anymore.

Bypassing the closing ceremonies. Not a bad move IMHO. Much easier to keep out protesters and get some good video.
