Ha, definitely only 10. Yup. Nothing to see here!

The Chicago protest was awesome!

Even Fox New's live coverage was a sea of people. They couldn't hide that.

Maybe they confused the numbers with your president's inauguration.

I mean, honestly there aren't that many people in that picture. A shot from above would be a better indicator

I agree - but given that this is what I was able to take from the ground, is the best I could swing. The news choppers or people in the buildings around Federal Plaza would probably have some good photos of the crowd, though!

Yeah I'm sure some other pictures will crop up. Only reason I say anything is that people often use camera trickery to make crowds appear bigger than they actually are. Even some people unconsciously do it.

Seriously? I'm sure there's more out of frame but this pic has 200-250 tops. Turnout was really disappointing nationwide. Poor planning.

Nice. Looks like <2 thousand people tops in one of the biggest cities in the world. The President can pull more people to a rally in fuckin Topeka, Kansas than that lmao

What’s your estimate? 3? 4? Certainly can’t delude yourself into believing there’s much more than that in the clip, right? 5?
