Olympics Pre-Party

More than 200 anti-2010 Olympics protesters, some carrying black flags and burning torches, gathered for a sort of pre-party for the Winter Games just over two weeks away. A portable audio system jacked up the energy level with the opening chords of the Rolling Stones' Street Fighting Man.

"The general goal is to disrupt the Olympics and to send a clear message to the International Olympic Committee, Vanoc and other Olympic host cities that holding the Olympics can bring you this type of resistance."
