    Not sure I believe that number. But hell, I can’t estimate crowds to save my life. At one point I was in the largest rock concert of all time, still have no clue.

    All I can say is the one I went to easily had 2,000. And that’s in the reddest part of Florida, and only 1 of 2 protests in Pensacola.

      Not sure if I’m misunderstanding you here… But the number from this post is for the stupid military parade in DC with the tanks, not the no kings protests. I’ve seen claims that there were over 6 million attendees for those.

        YES! I would have never remembered that! What a trip that all was. Forget getting to a porta-potty, piss your pants and get hosed down. I passed out and my gf took 5-hours just to get out of the parking lot. I’ll never forget Bush playing and the crowd in the standing pelting those of us on the ground with trash (nothing dangerous).

        Tell me you were there!

          Yes sir! I remember it taking about the same amount of time try to get out of the parking lot. We lost part of our group and were wondering around after the shows for about an hour looking for them. I remember some drunk ass had swiped a security golf cart and was driving around with an empty bud light case on his head. Ah - good times.
