re: #276 bruce rheinstein

I gather the DCFD has a pretty good eye when it comes to crowd estimates. Do you realize how many “crowds” this particular department is called upon to estimate -officially or unofficially? This is not your local FD who sees a few hundred yahoos show up for homecoming. These protests happen all the time in DC -some with astronomical attendance.

I trust their eye.

And always claiming that any figure you do not like must be the result of some unseen political motivation (which usually ends with the word “Soros” at some point) is the political equivalent of Intelligent Design. “I can’t explain why he’s saying it, so it must be this”.
