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 55º, overcast and damp) kept the crowd size down.
Denver as well, it appears from the news.
