We have been to D.C. with 200,000 - 500,000 thousand people as have others here on FR.

I recall the Vietnam protests from 68-72. The Washington Post actually had people counting the crowd from aerial pictures to gauge its size accurately. It was a different WaPo back then, and honest about most things. Just so people here know, and are not fooled by press reports which will exaggerate today’s crowd, 500,000 people fill the entire Elipse behind the White House and the Washington Monument grounds all the way to Independence Avenue. For 1,000,000 people, add to that a crowd that fills the Mall from 14th to 3rd Street.

Today’s protest will be nowhere near that level. For one thing, the logistics of assembling that many people require that busses and caravans be entering the city for days beforehand, and that temporary shelter be arraigned for them in the meantime. I have seen no such activity in the D.C. area.

Too bad all the graduating seniors this year didnt apply for a permit to protest and gotten all their classmates together and had a Protest graduation.

It seems that law abiding citizens are the only ones susceptible to the China-flu.

Count on it! There are big number of clandestine militia orgs and they will show and shoot. I highly doubt the Secret Service would detain them. This truly is a Cold Civil War. If it goes hot, these punks will be back in Mom' basement.

Neither could I and if we are still worried about being unkind we are in a lot of trouble. They are killing us out there and we’re still stuck on kind/unkind.

After the coup, the incredibly overblown virus and now the burning of our cities and outright shooting at cops we need to start worrying about more things than being unkind.

But I appreciate that people on this board have empathy and are Christian.

I just don’t have as much.

I have had ENOUGH more than ENOUGH!!

Its the Hate Trump demonstration in Support of Joe Biden. Has nothing to do with Civil Rights. Its going to get worse before it gets better.

The picture they are taking is for when that little boy grows up to be a politician, he can say he was in the fight with his parents. Can’t deny a picture is proof.

Buncha damn idiots, the lot of them.
