Chinese Protesters extinguish Olympic Flame
Now that the torch is on home soil it was expected that the protests would die down. It seems as though this is not quite the case.
Unknown protesters in Shenzhen attack Olympic runners and extinguish the flame
In a stunning blow to China's prestige, two local protesters shocked hundreds of cheering bystanders when they unexpectedly extinguished the Olympic Torch today near the Window of the World, a theme park in the Shenzhen industrial zone near Hong Kong.
It also seems as though a video is going to be made available on the website a little later today - I'll keep you posted.
Full story available here.
UPDATE - As promised a video has finally surfaced - though what good it will do is anyone's guess. Personally I do not think that it shows the torch being extinguished by protesters, more likely due to over-crowding. The 'action' (if you can call it that) starts at around 2:00.

well, a incredible story.
"mission accomplished" . It must be Tom Cruise and his men extingushed the flame. Another mission impossible movie is going to be made available on the hollyweebsite a little later today .
"In South Korea, thousands of Chinese students attacked Koreans demonstrating..." not true enough. South Korea has been ocupied by Chinese yesterday and Korean scripts has been baned and they are forced to use Chinese characters like what their ancestors did till 500 years ago.
this blog is becoming more and more unbelievble
LOL, I love watching these buffonish media dancing.
"Chinese Protesters extinguish Olympic Flame"? If so, then good on them. Now let's sit back, and see how the CCP shills spin it out to blame the "Dalai Clique". Be afraid, be veerry affraid! They are out to get you...
we might need have a look at how crowed it was and how many of the crowd had run into the way of the torch runners in Shen Zhen.
it's a failure of Police's crowd control.
Apparently the torch story has been retracted by Asia Sentinel.
LoL it seems they got played by the local who sold them the tape.
