March for Our Lives Fell Short

Of attendance. While some initially boasted that the D.C. rally had something like 850,000 attendees, a source that uses imagery says it is closer to 200,000 or so.

March for Our Lives D.C. Crowd Smaller than Organizer's Estimates

"Organizers of the March for Our Lives demonstration in Washington, D.C. claimed Sunday that some 850,000 people attended the pro-gun control event, but an imaging company said the turnout was much less.

Virginia-based Digital Design & Imaging Service Inc., which uses aerial photos to calculate crowd sizes, reported the event’s peak crowd size was at 202,796 people around 1 p.m., CBS News reported. The firm said the number's margin of error is 15 percent."

Plus, one has the Hogg acting like he is a black power advocate.

Perhaps the Women's March people have begun to fall down in their efforts?

Utah isn't fully buying into it either. This from Salt Lake City.

On Day to March for Our Lives, Rival Rallies and Competing Views

"As March for Our Lives rallies advocating for gun control unfolded across the nation on Saturday, some cities saw dueling events staged by pro-gun activists.

The state capitals of Utah and Arizona saw supporters on both sides of the issue, though the size of the pro-gun rallies appeared to be markedly smaller.

About 500 pro-gun advocates in Salt Lake City rallied for stronger schools and more armed teachers as they marched to the state Capitol building. Later on, about 6,000 protesters fighting for stricter regulations on guns were seen walking the same route."

Yep - And the bald girl he hangs around with looks like a winner as well.

And as usual, the left leaning (or hard left set in concrete) protesters made D.C. more of a mess.

Little Hoggs March for Our Lives Student Protesters Leave Their Trash for Someone Else to Clean Up

By contrast, when the Tea Party rallies were held in OKC back around 2010, the participants managed to leave the capitol grounds cleaner than the were when we arrived. I even saw people picking up cigarette butts to throw away. Also, at the first Rally, there were police and Capitol Patrol officer all over the place, usually in groups of four or larger (possibly for self defense). At the subsequent rallies, there were a lot fewer police officers and they were in singles and pairs.

We even had a lady show up with her 4 or 5 kids. She told us that this was their (home-school) civics lesson. Each of the 4 older kids would pick up one of their signs and go walking through the crowd. Then they would return to Mom and exchange signs and go walking through again. All the while, Mom was sitting near us and taking care of her infant. They were also all very polite and well mannered kids. Loved seeing that at a "protest" rally.
