They are roughly estimating around 100k. The chopper reporter just said that. chowder66 Jun 2025 #7
Wow! SheltieLover Jun 2025 #12
A guy I saw on TV said 20,000 but it definitely looked much larger than that. Wiz Imp Jun 2025 #26
I just saw someone post about that. Either the helicopter guy was way off or maybe Soboroff got their after they started chowder66 Jun 2025 #27
The guy on TV did say that people had started to leave... Wiz Imp Jun 2025 #35
L.A. Times is estimating 30k. chowder66 Jun 2025 #36
I'll buy that. Maybe a little more than that, but it's a reasonable estimate. Wiz Imp Jun 2025 #37
I agree. Helicopter guy was giving his best guess. chowder66 Jun 2025 #39

with that last lady in the orange was perfect! Did she ever know how to be the "caboose." !

I couldn't believe how many of them there were. Some of the signs were funny, considering the context.

But the one that boggled my mind was the Florida, Mar a Lardo one. Can anyone explain why there were protesters going in two directions? Maybe a circular roadway?

Thanks so much for looking that up for us, Sheltie!

I'm so proud of my fellow Americans today!!!

Feels lkke a passing of the torch in a way with the elders demonstrating how to get it done.

Lots of younger folks too & many great signs!

The Raging Grsnnies were fabulous!

is how it's done.
Very impressive. I'm not good at this estimating thing, but that's what, 10K people? Probably more?
And zero violence. They should be proud

I think he was referring to the crowd at that time. It still looked bigger than 20,000 to me but 100,000 does seem like it's probably overstated.

Unlike Trump's "protests" in his first iteration of fascism in 2017. There were 2 or 3 porta-potties for each of Trump's cult members.

It was really great to see, the protest was about at least 5 blocks and there were maybe 2,000 people there. Fight the turds!
