Tibetan activists and the San Francisco Darfur Coalition (who, by the way, are trying to turn the holy day of "Casual Friday" into "Darfur Friday") are demanding to know exactly where the torch will be going during its San Francisco run so they can protest that they can protest the China's ongoing human rights violations. Grrr.
While other media outlets, including SFist, have already claimed that the torch will make its way near AT&T Park and the Ferry Building, Mayor Gavin Newsom "says keeping the route under wraps is intended to make it more difficult for people to plan disruptions."
Also, as the Beijing Olympics draws closer, the list of potential boycotting countries grow larger. France, masters in the art of boycotting almost anything, might eschew the games if any coverage is censored. Tampon fetishist and future King of England, Prince Charles, will also skip attending any Olympic events due to the controversy.
We'll continue to update you with the growing list of notables and countries who refuse the Beijing Olympics.

it almost seems like there in a 99.9% chance something shitty is going to happen during these
olympics this time.
Kinda scary.
Maybe they'll just keep it at AT&T Park and lock down the streets and waterways similar to how they secured the area for the All-Star Game last summer. One thing is for sure ... I'm glad I'll be out of town that day.
They should protest until they let them know the route. I'm all for the city officials just giving them a fake route that runs from Bayview/Hunter's Point to the tenderloin.
Although if you just look for the person running around with a torch you might find the route. Just be prepared to protest on the spot in case you see them at the last second and they're running by you. If you are carrying a torch, then you are the torch carrier and the route is where ever you are walking/running. You can start your protest any time you're ready if this is the case.
