So this is a large crown and when thousands of people accross the country gathered to protest gun control legislation it was reported as hundreds. I guess it depends which propagandist is writing the storing as to how it gets written. They should have at least photoshopped a few more people into the picture.................

I attended the MLK celebration at U of M. It was of course a cold day, so when not walking from one event to the next people were inside the buildings.Most speakers and events were standing room only.
