I never made an accusation. I made a reference to a post I saw you make a few days ago.

I'm looking at the video in post 102. It may have been tight in a couple of spots but overall it's a loose crowd with banner waving room.
According to the pics and the other videos, including from Cspan - jam packed. Look at the side streets by the mall, look under the trees, look at the pool, look at virtually every inch of space filled with people.

Looks like the video was taken before the crowd flled in, but you knew that.

Based on the pics - jam packed. Did you see the pics I posted?

You asked the question. I provided evidence.

There is no comparison between this event and the filth left from the inauguration.

During the inauguration, there were no people backed up into the streets.
Is that supposed to be a side street?

It's Pennsylvania Ave, with Freedom Plaza to the right. This is the assembling location and starting point of the march, and obviously the media are there in front of the first marchers right before they get started. Pennsylvania was the street they marched down, so no, that's not "filling the side streets".

Side streets

Default Size Matters : So Does Lies

Size Matters : So Does Lies

Good article here from Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight dot come, he thinks 70,000 is a reasonable estimate which coincides with the D.C fire department. Nate explains how crowd estimates are done.
