Someone tried to put out Olympic flame with a fire extinguisher

Not everyone is getting in the Olympic spirit ahead of the 2016 Summer Games in Rio.

This week a rogue protestor (or just a prankster perhaps) in the city of Joinville in Brazil attempted to extinguish the Olympic flame with a fire extinguisher during a relay running with the torch.

He was unsuccessful, and quickly apprehended by security. That must have been a scary moment for the runners, though, and a relief when they realized it wasn’t anything serious, just a jamoke with a fire extinguisher. Ha.

They know they can just re-light the thing right?
