More than 200,000 people attended the March for Our Lives demonstration in Washington D.C. on Saturday, according to Digital Design & Imaging Service Inc (DDIS). The Virginia-based firm uses a proprietary method for calculating crowd size using aerial photos.

The peak crowd size was 202,796 people, with a margin of error of 15 percent, the firm said. The crowd reached its largest size at 1 p.m., according to the company's estimates.

The organizers put the total number of attendees at closer to 800,000.........

Too funny.

I read that as “Clearly using Million Man Meth”!

“It’ll be forgotten in a few months... like the Pussy March in January 2017.”

It’s generally the same people I’d assume.

Would be surprised if the union got it as a paid day for all.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I meant wouldn’t.

Progressives protest.

Conservatives produce.

10% of the crowd that showed up for the tea party march Sept. 12, 2009.

I was there, too, agree, greatest feeling as an American ever.

It is unlikely that all the healthy young people that were visible in the crowds were from mental hospitals.

The best guestimate by Indiana University said 1.7 million.
It looked like more than 2 million in person.
My sign said:

CHANGE

HOPE

Hey, it was a beach day.

Marches of leftists are commonplace. They do it all the time. I went to a few in DC when I was a liberal. They take a lot of time & money to plan & organize. They must have started planning before the bodies were cold.

I was at the Christian rally "Stand In the Gap" on October 4th, 1997. We Christian men and women filled up the National Mall. It was by far, the largest gathering on the Mall in our nation's history.

What did the Park Police do? They said they stopped counting crowds. Do you know why? Because they didn't want to admit that this rally for Christ was so much more massive than Farrakhan's 1995 "Million Man March" - where a younger Barry Hussein Soetoro attended.

I was there with the Joe Wilson “you lie!”
Sign.

Argued in the hotel lobby with a true obama believer.

I can’t describe how great that was. The banquet, breakfast and Walter Reed freep.

How many of the 200K were members of the press?

[buffyt]

125,000 babies are murdered/aborted daily in USA. no guns involved.
More American children die from abortion than in school shootings. 125,000 daily. Heck the population of our little town is just 6,000.

[Phil DiBasquette]

Lock her up for child abuse!

His eyes look DEAD like the eyes of a serial killer.

Quite a few of the protesters were paid and bussed in.

Take away the people who paid to be there and I wonder how many protesters would have shown up.
