Does anybody have a protester estimate? |
|
It's hard for me to tell from the photos. I saw the mall and it seemed pretty full. But other photos seem quite empty.
I'm guessing anywhere from 5000-20000. But I could be way off.
What say you?

1. I'm estimating 50,000 tops. They're not packed-in as we were during the Anti-War |

2. Find me a nice overhead (or nearly so) shot |
|
that shows the protest, and encompasses all the regions where they are gathered, and a close up (I have a few of those), and I can use some magic tricks and come up with a very reliable estimate.
So far, I haven't seen a nice overhead shot, only ones from traffic cameras that do no show the extent of the ground occupied by the protest.

4. I think your estimate is pretty accurate. |
|
Not that the media won't lie and say it is 100X that much!

5. Glenn Beckk reported an "official attendance" of 60,000 |
|
so you know it's much smaller.
