I never counted more than 120 people over 4 hours. The very repsectful cops hauled away about 40 people who were simply assholes. If the camera crews had showed a reasonably wide-angle... just a shot from across the street from where they assembled... it would have looked very small and unimpressive. I've seen lines for movie tickets and sporting events that looked more intimidating. If the TV cameras stopped showing up at these "events" this movement would die a quick and proper death. It's bogus propaganda.

I have seen the same thing during the "riots" in Miami in the 1980's.
I was living down there then and on the CBS Evening News it looked like the entire city of Miami was on fire. My family was calling me worried and shit...but the reality was that it was a small city block by the interstate.
And if they had panned the camera back it would have shown how tiny the "riot" was. It wasn't even noticeable to us that lived there.
So yeah, I totally get what you're saying.
