7. What's a "pancho"?

Who goes out for this kind of thing without being prepared?

[Dragonbreathp9d]

9. People who care about the future of this country

[appleannie1]

12. A pancho is a blanket with a slit in the middle to put your head through. It can be worn over a coat

[FarCenter]

16. That would be a "poncho".

15. I wonder if they are getting showers

And how long are some of them doing this for, its a noble thing, but it might get a little smelly.

[FarCenter]

17. "A little smelly" would be standard for NY street people

Who undoubtedly still outnumber the demonstrators. And who are better equipped and more savvy about living outdoors.

[StarsInHerHair]
