Get your popcorn boys and girls this is going to be good.

China has lined up 1000's of supporters, while protestors range from Tibetan monks and their supporters, Burmese Monks, other critics of China, and your usual rabble rousers.

If I know anything about the CCP, they’ll just shorten it by another 3.5 miles and call it a “success without incident”.

It’s funny that the left protests China while wanting to turn America into China.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen! A torch run by boat.

KTVU saying scanner traffic indicates a change of plan.

Apparently peaceful protest has no place in our modern society.

Hiding and sneaking the torch through warehouses and maybe now boats is a disgrace.

Just cancel the run, but the authorities and China would lose face then.

Can’t have it both ways .......

Crap... wave runners are gathering around the building where the torch is hiding - protestors on street are crying.

Snipers slinging their rifles and moving off the roof of the warehouse.

Torch on the move?

This reminds me of the climax of a novel called “The Night People” by Jack “Invasion of the Body Snatchers/Time and Again” Finney. In that, the people hoisted a huge banner from the Golden Gate. Finney went into great detail about how they accomplished it, but their method didn’t sound near as dangerous as what these people did.

Yeah this is a major joke. If I had spent all day waiting to see this.. I would be MAJORLY ticked off.

Imaging taking your kids to see this only to have the chicoms take the torch on a slow boat to china.

CNN reporting actual torch carriers were discovered as plants by protest groups and were going to steal the torch.
