VOR Lady, you are “harmless”? OH, ABSOLUTELY! LOL! Yeah, once we got out on that metro platform... it was “keep moving,” or get squashed. The only litter I saw was a banana peel somebody dropped on the walkway near the General Grant statue... Some guy picked it up, having not a few words of disgust, and put in a trash can. I was amazed how clean the West lawn was once the crowds began to disperse. Did you see my pics? Here are the ones I shot at the rally: http://www.resistnet.com/profiles/profile/show?id=Bruce35&;
I don’t think it was discussed here, but the crowd on 9/12 was a moving crowd, unlike the inauguration. We entered the Capitol area from Pennsylvania Ave around 11:15 and it was full. We watched as people walked along 1st St and back down Maryland toward the National Mall, because there was nowhere to stand and you couldn’t hear the speakers that far back. When we started leaving around 3:15, there were still some people just arriving.
