Neither Fingers nor Minds quite met
Both sides
Animal rights supporters called for a boycott over fur
An angry gesture
Police intervene with a warning
The square was still full of people, with crowds of Chinese arguing heatedly (if seldom very cogently) with human rights demonstrators. The police in general seemed to be doing a decent job of preventing actual conflict, stepping in to warn those who became overheated or abusive. After a while they decided to clear the square, although a few arguments continued on the North Terrace.

Many of the people from Europe will be arriving at St Pancras, right next to the lab which will also be virus containment facility containing the plague / ebola / anthrax / smallpox / TB / measles / etc.
28 Days Later springs to mind....seriously though folks....the Olympics is in itself a "terror tatrget" let alone the lab.....
