When the "Million Man March" came to DC they claimed 2 million people. They did NOT even fill the Mall. the Mall, that space defined as the squares between the Capital Building and the Washington Memorial when filled to capacity is 750,000 people.
The Promise Keepers march did the following, it filled the Mall COMPLETELY, overflowed to the sides and then if you look at the aerial shot it clearly shows over 1/3 rd of the Ellipse around the Washington Monument as being covered.
The Parks Police (The only "official counter")Stopped counting after Farrakhan made his lies about their count of his march being BELOW 1 million?
Its a ruse. Numbers are GENERATED to bring validity and are indicative of NOTHING in this regard.
Million Man March
Promise Keepers 1997
Now look at the following.
This is a photo of Obama's crowd at 1200 on the day of his inauguration. There was a crowd of possibly 750000. They claimed 1.8 million.
For the Promise keepers march the Ellipse is 1/3rd covered, and the Mall is packed and overflowing.
Added to this, Promise Keepers march back in 97 did not have even 1/10th the trash on it after the march UNLIKE the MMM and Obama's Inauguration.
Clearly this Restoring Honor March was less than Promise Keepers in 97, but more than the MMM and more than Obamas inauguration in 2009.
