Protesters in Paris have forced officials to put out the Olympic torch at least five times.

Security officials snuffed out the Olympic torch and carried it through Paris in the safety of a bus at least five times Monday before canceling the final run of a relay repeatedly disrupted by chaotic protests against China’s human rights record.

Security officials put the torch on the bus for the last stretch but stopped right outside its destination, a Paris stadium, so a runner could finish the last 15 feet.

At least two activists earlier got within almost an arm’s length of the flame before they were grabbed by police. A protester threw water at the torch but failed to extinguish it and was taken away. Officers tackled numerous protesters and carried some away.

I’m glad to see people mobilized to protest the Olympics taking place in the world’s largest prison. People are finally recognizing what is happening in Tibet.

1. It’s really surprising how big this protest has gotten…don’t know if it will change anything though.
