The size and scale of the Mpls ICE OUT March today is being under-reported [View all]

Watch the first minute of this video that shows footage from someone who filmed the crowd from the top of a downtown hi-rise and tell me how many people this looks like to you…

Most of the legacy media coverage I am seeing is saying “thousands” of protestors, but this is looking like HUNDREDS of thousands to me. Enough to fill several huge stadiums. And there are still many more blocks between the start of where the footage begins, and the final destination of the Target Center, so this still isn’t a complete view of the entire route.

Given the arctic, sub-zero weather this is an unprecedented level of demonstration and it blows any notion of a “paid protesters” scenario to smithereens. This is 100% WE THE PEOPLE of Minnesota.
