I don’t know if it was a screw up....I think perhaps they, as well as everybody else, was surprised at the number of people who showed up.

That was the only time I thought there would be trouble. During the tea party, they would keep us informed and updated. When they announced people had to remove themselves from the mall, we all booed. Then the chant started....”IT’S OUR MALL, IT’S OUR MALL”....

I turned to my friend and said “oh sh&*”. Nothing happened and I don’t even know the outcome of the mall “removal”.

The Black Family Reunion was apparently scheduled before the 9/12 Tea Party, so they already had the permit for the Mall.

In all fairness, on one expected so many people to show up. I think I read that the Tea Party organizers expected a maximum of 20,000.
