…well actually I just finished watching the new Doctor Who by Proxy after I got home from the immigration rallies and let me tell you it was a lot more interesting than the rally.
Several things about it:
The crowd came in several groups. When I got there it was about 10 min of 12 and there were about 150 people there. The primary theme was Marxism/socialism.
Three distinct waves showed up later that brought the totals up to about 300 people.
There was an organized group of anarchists which seems to be an contradiction in terms.
The people there were very polite and the people in charge let me take shots from a few angles behind the stage, they never showed me anything but courtesy.
One bit of advice for people If you are going to stop during your march through the streets don’t give speeches in front of a giant tent that say Circus

My Traditional short interviews will follow during the day.
Update: At Washington Monthly they ask this question:
Attendance at May 1 events have varied in recent years, but it was just a few years ago when hundreds of thousands of people participated in enormous events demanding change to the immigration status quo. Whether today’s events generate those kinds of crowds remains to be seen.
Well here is the answer, On a beautiful Wednesday two weeks ago 10,000 people showed up on the Boston common at the tea party rallies.
Today on a beautiful Saturday afternoon a whole 300 people showed up. In fact is was a small enough crowed that I was able to actually COUNT them. You tell me which rally was more newsworthy.
I think with all due respect Mr. Breen the question isn’t how Fox will report it. The question is will the MSM inflate the numbers and its importance and suggest it is supported by more people than it actually is.
