I truly do not know but it takes many many people to fill the Washington Mall. I am so proud of my fellow fiscal conservatives.

it does take a lot of people to fill the mall; this protest didn't come close to filling it though.

60-70k is nothing to be ashamed of.

Tens of thousands is far more than the 4 or 5 you predicted.

I love how the tax and spend liberals believe they outnumber fiscal conservatives. It is quite laughable. The majority do not agree with generational theft.

freedomworks posted a decent crowd shot, which clearly shows that the crowd was just as robbobobbo described it:



they're touting it as one of the biggest protests ever - obviously they haven't seen the photos from other protests that people are trying to pass off as being from yesterday!

they also haven't given anything other than a vague crowd estimate themselves, which is atypical of protest organizers.

kibbe also apologized for saying that abc reported 1.5 million. he said he saw tweets.

9 pages later and people are still bickering about how many people were there. Good grief.

The crowd is ON the mall and along the sides. They are also under the trees and spilling on to the side streets. They were not allowed fully on the mall due to other events happening that day. I heard a report that FW permit was not sufficient for the crowd that actually showed up.

Since they are taking up every square inch of space, jam packed, spreading out on the mall and the sides of the mall, it is safe to say that it was well over 100,000.

Based on the Park Service schematic, maybe even closer to 200,000.
