Curious how the media handles numbers. I guess they were bad at math and so had to settle for journalism. First it was a thousand weapons. Then it dwindled down to 300 or so in steps. 300 to include, apparently, nail clippers. 1200 RSVP’d by FB as I recall. The thread yesterday said police expected 200. As I recall by 2 PM or so over 500 and growing. But this story tries to say one hundred. (I know it says 100 met to go there, etc. but you gotta read carefully to get that and from the excerpt it isn’t clear the author ever says, “where they joined a thousand” or whatever.
Point taken, of course. USA Today which we can post link only has a figure of 1,000 in attendance

“Curious how the media handles numbers.”
Yes. First it was 500 bikers at the rally. Then 1000!
Viewing the videos and photos ... maybe 150?
Article says “Several bikers Sunday morning expressed concern for those still in jail.”
