I was there when there were 100,000 anti war demonstrators crammed onto the Common. Big crowds assemble fast and if they're lefty crowds, stay pretty orderly--no rushing a stage and only minor shoving fights when someone's foot gets stomped on. Those bozos are probably going to think they'll be safe in their Dockers and polo shirts at the bars later on.

Uh, no, guys. I'd better warn you that the hockey stick is the neighborhood weapon of choice.
