mariva: "Are there going to be protests in Buenos Aires as well? "

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

mariva: "Someone should investigate why these "torch thugs" should have any authority in the U.S. Outrageous! http://tinyurl.com/4ysevz"

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

mariva: "Great close-up video of the protests at http://tinyurl.com/5t3m5w "

@michaelwhitney: "there should be an olympic game for torch-protesting and corralling."

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

@Bartvon: "NBC11's torch bus reporter confirmed Chinese in charge of route. Now Newsom is saying HE changed the route. Someone is lying."

@tigerbeat: "closing ceremony at SFO may or may not have taken place already according to KRON... supposed to fly out at 9 pm" 4 hrs ago

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

@MandianaJones: "NBC just announced the closing ceremony will be at an undisclosed location. Airport maybe?" about 5 hours ago

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

mariva: Who needs freedom, anyway? All yuor base are belong to China!

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

tigerbeat: article on what happened at http://sfgate.com w/critical comments from Peskin. kRon says clsing ceremony will be at SFO

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

mikebakunin: KGO shows torch motorcade arriving at the airport

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

xicanista: is reporting the torch is going to SFO. Warehouse, bus and plane. No celebration of the olympics or demonstration of free speech.

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

MandianaJones: NBC just announced the closing ceremony has been cancelled.

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

@teamtibet VICTORY! Torch on the run, on freeway headed towards the airport

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

@rockbandit so that was anticlimatic. What to do now? Burn effigies of the torch? :snicker:

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

mikebakunin: KGO: shows torch motorcade moving, says the torch may be heading directly to the airport

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

@kariapeterson [torch] fascinating to see the motorcade from the helicopter (nbc11.com), and hearing as unfolds, mysteriously. sad, too.

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

joshuaw: So if the torch is going from the relay right to SFO is it fair to say the chinese were run out of town by the protests?

[Olympic Torch SF @sftorch]

vgonyea: @rockbandit ROFL!!! You are SO RIGHT!!!!
