150,000? There wasn’t room to stuff another person on the mall if you tried, and the streets were completely full of people for several blocks in all directions.

MMM idk maybe like 300+ their weren’t that many people, cough cough…

Hundreds, maybe dozens attended the rally.

All I know is that I was packed in like a sardine on the Mall and afterwards it took 2 hours to get from the L’Efant Metro station to the Huntington Metro station because of the crowds. I can’t put a number on it, but it was more people together at the same time than I have ever seen in person.

I giggled.

It was to big to fail.

tell me about it… i just got back home and we left at three. it took us 20 minutes to get off of the mall.

Um, NO WAY there were only 150,000 in attendance. It was more packed than Obama’s inauguration. I’d say half a million.

It was nothing on inauguration 2010…but it felt pretty similar. It might have been 150,000 on the mall, but there were tens of thousands milling around with signs too. It was the nicest, bunch of people ever in one place and the first HUGE crowd I’ve ever been in where no one was shoving or pushing and where everyone actually said “excuse me” and “please” and “thank you” – people of all ages and ethnicities making friends with strangers and laughing and enjoying the beautiful day. It was fun in a very reasonable way .

Someone please find an aerial pic and post it so we can judge for ouselves.

Just got home. Thought crowd was 200,000 plus, but I got to 1,294 and lost count.

Our taxi driver told us he hadn’t seen anything like it since Obama’s inauguration. He would know. We tried to leave even before the end – the crowd went north up 7th street out of sight… photos of the Mall do not do the crowd justice. Never saw anything like it in my life… 1/2 a million.

I’m a DC Native and have attended demonstrations and inaugurations all my life. In my experience, this event was second only to the Obama Inaugural crowd.

I was there. every one was drinking the kool-aid listening to two comedians that give the “news”. Gimme a break. Did you see the buses? there were hundreds of buses. I heard HuffinPuff paid for those buses. everyone was leaving at 2:00 so they could get their bus and go back from where they came from. Whadda joke.
NO WAY were there 150K people there. more like 2000 people

i’d love to see the final estimate and then add to it all the people that were at the satellite rallies…. I attended the Seattle Satellite rally and there were several thousand people there.

So wait, there were hundreds buses but only had what ten people each on them?

Sorry buddy, I know Truth hurts :/
We were actually on the “huffinpuff” with 10,000 others and due to the traffic, we didn’t make it until 1:30pm, and once we did, it was so packed that the only way to here anything was to go to a bar in 1201 Pennsylvania ave. And watch it live on the screens. The 150k is excluding us, I would say over 200,000 were in attendance!! Happy to see that this many SANE people still exist in our country

I flew in from Florida at my own expense. Arrived at the mall at 8AM. The front area by the stage was already packed. I left 5 minutes after the rally ended. It took an hour to walk to the white house from the stage.

There’s no way rsmry was there if he/she says otherwise. So keep the lying to yourself.

You are nuts!

I worked the Metro for both events. The crowd had ALMOST as manny people as Oboma’s inaugural. IT WAS CRAZY and I can tell you WMATA underestimated the crowds and was bringing in drivers and more trains to handle the crowd and could not keep up.

Absolutely correct! It was fully packed!

Attendance was through the roof and only Obama’s inaugural exceeded this one.

Obviously, you were not there. Thus, your comments reveal with more accuracy your character, personality, and thinking style.

This is the only areal picture I’ve see so far:

Yes, I know I spelled aerial wrong.

150K, my arse. I’ve been to college football games with 110K+; the crowd in D.C. today was 500K+ (minimum)…

Took the hotel shuttle to Dunn Loring at 9:30 AM. Crowd was a mile long and wrapped around the corner. Along with two other hotel guests (we met at the station trying to figure out how else to get there) I got back on the shuttle and they took us to West Falls to try again. Of course that didn’t work since it was a stop closer to the city and the trains were full from Vienna and Dunn Loring by the time they got to any closer station. Finally got a taxi with three groups of people who didn’t know each other and got dropped off at the far end of the mall and walked literally to the other end. Took me 45 minutes or more to slowly work my way from the back of the crowd to where I could hear anything. Got to the back of the crowd at 1 PM, close enough to hear by about 1:30. People were on top of every port a pottie and in every tree (still wondering who’s going to pick up the tab for all the potties with crushed roofs from people trying to see). Some people obviously understood the futility of trying to get close enough and contented themselves with sitting nearby and people watching. It was attended by literally every soul that could pack onto a train, with three times more left over standing in lines and on platforms. There was literally no room for anyone else to be there. Don’t know what that translates to in terms of numbers, but it was total capacity of taxis, sidewalks, and public transportation. It was good to see the turnout, but because the crowds were so vast, I’m going to have to watch most of it later online.

You should have attended the Restoring Honor, many more people and also very polite, kind and clean (no litter).

Haha,The onlysceintific estimate done said around 80,000 peoplewere there. The Rally for sanity had 150,000 people and blew beck out of the water, and if you buy into that loons end of the world rhetoric than go down into the bunker with him

I tend to prefer places with polite, kind and clean people that don’t support causes that make me feel sick to my stomach and tell me what to believe. As for the rally with more people…I was there, at the rally to restore sanity. I’m glad you enjoyed the rally you went to though, and I enjoyed the one I went to.
