100,000 Protestors... Angry mobs of students...

The same thing always happens. Driving home the other night I had the radio pretty much on scan for several hours and caught a lot of reports of the huge Dallas march from a half dozen different sources and not one of them gave the same number (ranged from 125,000 from ABC News up to 600,000 from some news I didn't catch). My general practice is to take the report from the event sponsors and cut it in half; take the report from the opposition and double it. Then I figure the actual number was somewhere in that range.
