Skirmish at the Protest

Went down to the Embarcadero to be counted among the protesters of China's Human Rights Violations. Ironically, we were greeted by a large video screen and a KC and the Sunshine Band recording of "Get Down Tonight." Although it was tempting to hang around, we skirted the Embarcadero to see what was happening. The torch ceremony was going on at McCovey Cove and in the hour and half we waited one skirmish broke out between the Tibet protesters and the proud Chinese supporters. In a frustrating move, the Olympic committee took the torch on a boat and did not parade it down the Embarcadero as planned.
