I find it vaguely disturbing that two different men have tried to douse the Olympic flame on its trek to Rio. I remember there were protests when Rio was chosen as the site of the 2016 Summer Games because people thought the money to host the Games could be used to help the widespread poverty, of course the economy should improve over the course of the Games at least that is the idea. The first man tried to put out the flame with a bucket of water but missed and drenched a security guard instead. The second man used a fire extinguisher to no avail. Both men were arrested. It seems like a wasted effort to protest what is already a done deal and leaves a person with a feeling of uneasiness.
