Jumping the Gun

I’m honestly surprised that the protests have started as early as they have.  At work today we were asking ourselves, how the hell did anyone manage to climb a light pole so close to the Bird’s Nest?  That’s one of the most heavily secure areas in the city right now.  How come the police didn’t stop them five seconds after they started climbing the pole? 

Part of me thinks there is a method to this madness.  I haven’t figured out what it is yet, but I’ve seen the security here.  I can’t imagine that the security forces wouldn’t have been able to get to that light pole sooner.
