How not to protest VII
Disrupting the lighting of the flame
Two protesters from media rights group Reporters Without Borders broke through the cordon of 1,000 police officers in Olympia as China’s envoy spoke.
Activists had vowed to protest over the violence in and around Tibet.
The torch will now be carried around Greece before being sent to China to start a journey through 20 countries, returning to Beijing on 8 August.
The route includes the torch being taken to the top of Mount Everest and through Tibet.
Many activists have this underdog mentality which makes them believe they can justify every action in the name of their cause. This includes acting like a bunch of immature children like this case. I have a bit of sympathy for the plight of ethnic Tibetans, but if they and their supporters want to be treated like human beings, they need to act like one no matter what China or anyone does.
Update: Speaking of immature brats
