I estimate at least 10K people there. Both sides of two city blocks, so crowded you couldn't walk through in some spots. And thousands of cars driving by and honking their horns, drivers cheering in support! The media ignored it, but anyone within a few blocks could hear it just fine.

Pictures sure don't look like a 10K crowd to me.

I wish there were more wide angle shots. It was pretty impressive (and LOUD), especially when you consider that it went on for three hours and people came and went. I was only there for an hour myself, I had appointments to make.

slight disclaimer- I am not a professional crowd size estimator. But I did make an effort to do a rough estimate.

I’m sure the news helicopters (yes, there were news helicopters, but I don’t think they reported any of it) know exactly how big the crowd was. So do the cops.

FANTASTIC!

And I liked the sign that said. “What are you drinking?”.... then it had a pic of a teabag and a pic of a pitcher of coolade. I’ll keep that one in mind for later use.
