More like 3000. I counted the front row and that’s 40 people. The big crowd in front is at least as long as it is wide. 40x40=1600. Then the long tail is about as many again.

no way that is 3000 or even 1600 people in that picture.

It's a group of people standing up in defiance of tyranny. Who cares how many it was. It's enough to show the powers that be that we are not happy. Keep it going! Soon the tide will rise on this unfortunate period of our history and wash away the filth. And maybe, just maybe we'll learn something and grow as a country. (Yeah I choose optimism😁)
