Greetings,
I've gone to a number of demonstrations over the years. Today's march is
the largest I've ever seen in Minneapolis. It's hard to judge numbers, but
I did pass someone attempting to count the crowd. He had a clicker and was
clicking each time approximately 100 people went by. At the point I went by
he was at 4500 and there were a lot more people behind me than in front of
me. An imperfect count, of course, but if forced to give an estimate I'd
say at least 10,000 and probably closer to 15,000.
With that and many more demonstrations nationwide (let alone world-wide) I
would think there will at least be a pause in the march to war.
Oh, and I got a flyer (which I've since misplace) regarding Jay Benanev's
anti-war resolution in St. Paul. It was handed to me by Jay Benanev.
