On Monday, April 7th, 2008, pro-Tibet protesters climbed the Golden Gate Bridge's South Tower and unfurled Tibetan flags and banners reading "Free Tibet" and "One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 08."
News coverage of the protest from the San Francisco-based station KTVU:
Officials arrested the protesters--but the group garnered considerable local and national publicity, especially in the wake of violent pro-Tibet and anti-China protests in Paris, France. In Paris, protesters attacked the Olympic torch bearers and managed to briefly extinguish the flame.
Read about the protesters and their message on the San Francisco Chronicle.

I think it's awesome that so many people are protesting this shameful Olympics. Not only is there a major human rights issue in China, the air quality in Beijing is horrible. A recent test race at the Olympic mountain bike course went so badly that only four competitors could breathe well enough to finish the race and it was a flat course!
Personally, I think the US team should boycott like Moscow.
