Thirty Arrests Made During Olympic Torch Route

Why can’t people be more cilivised? This is a grand event, that is held once every 4 years.
Carrying the torch to mark the countdown of Olympic 2008 is a symbolic event, yet I just do not understand why there are so many brainless people who just prefer to make a mess out of such simple and happy event.
During the latest report by BBC News, I was pretty disappointed with the arrests made after the clash between the pro-Tibet protesters and police took place. Below is a synopsis of the story.
Protests over China’s human rights record began soon after the relay began at Wembley, and prompted an increasing police presence through the city. One protester tried to snatch the torch from former Blue Peter host Konnie Huq. After an unpublicised change to the route, the Chinese ambassador carried the torch through Chinatown. It later made an unscheduled move on to a bus.
Grow up, guys! What do you have to gain from causing unnecessary inconveniences to the public and organisers. Peace, people!
