Olympic Torch Runs Tortured Route through Paris

China Digital Times reports that a day after one protester in London reportedly tried to snuff the Olympic torch with a fire extinguisher, protesters in Paris achieved the practical equivalent with sheer force of numbers.

According to various reports, police (several of whom, for some reason, appear to have been riding around on rollerblades) canceled the final portion of the Olympic torch relay in Paris after several instances in which the torch had to be taken aboard a bus to protect it from protests.

BBC video of the protest can be viewed here.
