The “Million Mom March” counted everyone who participated in a sympathy protest. I wonder if we can count all those horn-honking thumbs-uppers?
From my vantage point on the picnic table behind the dais/speaking platform, I could see that the cars were streaming along during at least the first half of the rally cruising for parking spots.
So I would actually estimate the number of the people who WANTED to attend the Lisle rally but COULDN'T at about 200-250 easily. So add that to my 2000 number above ;-).
