Default Tibetan protesters....

These people keep attackling the olympic torch trying to steal it and put it out. I hate these people they are savages, don't they realise the olympics is a sports event not a political rally.

I think we should invite armed chinese police to follow the torch around, if anyone attacks the torch, let them get their just deserts.

If this happened in Afghanistan or Iraq these people would be called terrorists.

If you believe that the Olympics should make everyone ignore the excessively brutal human rights violations in China, then you are correct that sports are more important than a "political rallly".

But if you believe that boycotting or protesting might shine a light on the barbarity, then a little "political rally" might be kind of important.

You need to protest those that granted China the Olympics then. It is really sad that Olympics is exploited for various capitalistic pursuits.

So only capitalists are concerned about the HR violations in China? I'm glad to be a capitalist then.

Olympics were granted to China so China in the present condition is qualified to host them. Anyone that protests that is a criminal.

The only reason Tibetans are protesting is because they know capitalists would be eager to help them in order to crush Communists in China.

The torch isn't anywhere near Tibet right now you jackass. Its in Europe.

Caspian's beloved fellow Brits, and the Frogs are the ones that have been taking runs at the torch.

I don't know. I just looked at the title. Is it possible Tibetan protesters are in Europe?

I doubt many Tibetans can afford to make a trip to Europe.

Their Chinese comrades keep a pretty harsh lock on them from what I understand.
