The Dallas local news said police estimated the crowd at above 100,000 while organizers said 500,000. I know it was massive though.

I saw video of the people in Central Park -- it looked very sixtiesh to me.
there were hundreds of thousands. NY police don't give estimates of crowd sizes. UPJ said early yesterday, they got 400,000. later in the day, they said it was closer to 500,000. an official with the nypd said, anonymously, that it was close to a half million.

in any event, there were people everywhere. some papers today are calling it the largest convention protest ever.

i didn't make it to the unofficial rally in central park. but on the news, they were showing people spelling out things or making peace signs from the air. good for them, but that's not my cup of tea.
