Olympic Torch rushed in Xiangtan China

[dugweb]

It wasn't too big of a deal, but I thought it was interesting. I just got back from watching the torch relay, and while I was there someone rushed the torchbearer. I couldn't tell if it was just an excited Chinese person, or a Tibetan protester or what.

I was able to snap a couple (poor) pictures of it, but right after taking the pictures my friend and I ran down to re-watch it on TV. The TV images were delayed by about 2 minutes, and right when it came the part where the guy rushed the torch, it cut to some stupid loop about the torch's route through China, like a commercial and they just looped it 3-4 times, then went back to the coverage.

Pics The picture linked, and the next one are the only two of them rushing the torch. The rest are just of the whole area.

In China, Olympic protesters get shot. The guy rushing the torch probably got shot in the head on the spot by the secret police. No trial, no waste of tax dollars, no BS. Olympic is serious business in China.

I hope they got the bullet back, such a waste of lead.
