Nepalese soldiers and police guarding the slopes of Mount Everest are authorized to shoot to stop any protests during China's Olympic torch run to the summit, an official said Sunday.
Great way to start off the supposedly world solidifying sporting event -- shoot to kill if you protest against China. Guess you know what event(s) I won't be watching come this summer.
I don't really watch the Olympics anymore, anyway. It has become way too, commercialized and not as exciting now that it is every two years instead of every four years. But the way the Chinese government is handling the event, no wonder there's so much hoopla. I mean, shoot the protesters? Come on, people.
