(43,536 posts)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!!!

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

(10,437 posts)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.
