As For the Seething, Angry Crowds in Bangla-Cola
...they were...um...thin.
And angry, oppressed, seething Hispanics...
...were damn near impossible to find. Yup. Hiding behind the crepe myrtles ~ all eight of them.
(That picture spans the park from sidewalk to sidewalk, just so you know I did'nt crop the real crowds out of the frame.)
And three out of five of the Mexican restaurants I passed on my cub reporter's trek were OPEN.
UPDATE: The local news says there were a couple hundred protestors earlier. Guess I missed them. But from the video I saw, they were as enthusiastic as this bunch.

It would seem to be mainly a Californian thing. No surprise there.

Chicago had a decent sized gathering. I haven't heard any official tallies on crowd size but I figure the bland weather (about 55ยบ, overcast and damp) kept the crowd size down.

Denver as well, it appears from the news.
