Sounds like a rather small turnout relatively, considering that these protests have been trying to be conjured up for weeks across the country to get huge numbers to D.C.
We will see what today brings - I am somewhat hopeful that the protest numbers will fizzle out in the same manner as the nonexistent turnout for the Hillary “rallies”, although certainly some could be dangerous and none of it is to be taken lightly, of course.

Protesters planning to disrupt Donald Trump’s big dayWe'll see how things go. BTW, that article has a photo (can't show it here as it's an AP photo) with two DC cops. I hope the fellow in the back doesn't have to chase down any protesters...
Yes, the reason there was a police line at the DeploraBall was because of O’Keefe’s efforts to expose these idiots; and with his videos, he alerted the police units in D.C., and they came prepared to meet the threat.
BIG thank you’s to James and his crews.
Two entrances have already been closed off by protesters and reopened by cops, but the cops have to stand shoulder to shoulder to create a path through them for inauguration guests.
