One other data point that I can add to the discussion of Saturday's "No Kings" march: a direct count. I took a 10 second video pointing directly across the street as marchers went by. See how many people you can count walking past.
I counted 39. That's 234 per minute or 21,060 in 90 minutes. We walked among the crowd from 12:00 starting at 6th & Central down to 2nd & Copper, then back up Copper to 6th St by 1:30 while the group continued to march by. We never got to the head of the march and never saw the tail of it either, so we don't have a good time estimate for the complete group.
If anyone was up at the front and can tell me how long it took to complete the circuit, that would be helpful. 21,000 is certainly in the realm of numbers I calculated from the drone footage yesterday.
