DC police are reportedly estimating 1.2 mil or more
Speech coverage on CSPAN now
No offense to you but that number has been repeated but never any link to it. I believe for certain there is more than 60k but these high numbers need more proof. They could have heard that they were preparing for as many as 1.2million but that doesn’t make it an official estimate.
I believe that was a twittered number. Please don’t quote DC Police unless it has been officially verified. There will be attempts to dicredit this event with super over inflated numbers in the millions. Then when the real number comes out people will be disappointed and think it was a failure.
Better to start small and let the number build than the other way around.
Wow! 1.2 million!
DC police are reportedly estimating 1.2 mil or more but not all can fit into the small rally site! Dang.
The mall covers 309 acres. If the average density of people is 10 sf per person, 1.2 million could make sense.
