I hope it was a million!

Have we heard from any sources who are reputable as to how many are estimated to be there?

2. MSNBC says: "Tens of thousands."
Which could be anywhere from 10 thousand to a few million given the MSM's tendency to waffle on serious reporting on these issues.

5. The Chief of Police of DC, I heard just a bit ago,
estimated it at around 100,000.

And he's probably a pretty good source, given the shitcanning he got way back when he gave a not so accurate report.

he also said that the cops were not worried about violence, because (and I'm paraphrasing) "It's just a bunch of good people out excercising their first amendment rights".

I like that!

I was really hoping that this protest would be MILLIONS, though.

Dang.
