An unprecedented event in the history of the Olympics is unfolding in every city where the torch arrives causing a pandemonium. Nagano was not an exception. Surrounded by a heavy guard of the police and “frame attendants” from China, no runner was clearly seen by spectators.
But an exception about Nagano was the presence of right-wing extremists among the protesters. They are not supporters of Tibet or its independence. They are simply a bunch of yakuza-like guys who hate communism generally and the People’ Republic in particular, and who probably know little about communism or its history. It must have been an embarrassment for those who sincerely support the rights of the Tibetans.
And those Japanese couple and a (their?) kid who appeared at the torch relay with a Tibet flag in Kuala Lumpur… Who are they? Why were they there?
