Locked-out [left out] of the Olympics.?

I don't think it was like that. I think that beijing had to do this though because of all the protesters. Or it could just be because they are communist. I personally think that it is because of the protesters because of all the trouble over the olympic flame they didn't want to take any chances. But I think it is a bit over dramatic that they had all of that protection. Shame about the tickets though. You'd think that they would have a better way of distributing the tickets!!!
