San Francisco resident Calvin said, "I believe that everyone has the right to protest as long as they do so non-violently, so I think that is part of what America is all about, and I hope it ends up all peaceful and that really I think, in a way, politics should be separate from the Olympics because it's really an athletic event, this is the one opportunity everybody has to work together and be one unified world."
