Walking down Broadway this afternoon, I noticed a long line of SUVs, vans and cars with Tibetan flags. As they got closer, I noticed the gruesome imagery of what appeared to be brutal murders of Tibetan citizens at the hands of the Chinese government. China is infamous for extreme human rights violations, and I'm still surprised the Olympics are being held there this year.

Recently, I read that Spielberg pulled out of directing the opening ceremonies, due to their continued disregard for human rights, so kudos to him.

I can imagine this will only mean more protests this summer.
