All cross traffic being stopped as police motorcycles escort the buses.
To: Smogger
I was just down there, under the Bay Bridge by the firehouse underneath. When I walked north towards the Ferry Building the route was 100% clogged with protesters (and ordinary people too). The police were doing nothing to get the course clear. I finally left to go back to work. If they’re going to carry the torch through that route they’ll need a full riot brigade, a few bulldozers and water cannons.

Yup, a bus ride from beginning to finish, it’s the only way to ensure no incident.
To: icwhatudo
Convoy stopped again in main downtown street. Waiting for more streets up ahead to clear?
To: NormsRevenge
So at what point do they simply accept the fact that the IOC committed a MAJOR BLUNDER in giving the Olympics to China? Who’s next, Sudan?

Maybe they'll riot out of frustration? Stay safe, Virulas.

I wonder if protesters get screwed this way often? I’d be pissed.

lol.. buses are stopped, they may be looking for an open stretch of road to start the run, may be dropping runners off two at a time..
this is on Van Ness, quite a hiking distance form the embarcadero where the bulk of protesters are gathered..
