I’m glad I
dragged myself to Washington on a steaming Sunday morning because if I hadn’t
seen it with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed that the big hoopla that led
up to the so-called Rally4Refugees would fall so short of
expectations.
Someone spent an awful lot of money for
jumbotrons, tents, a big sound system, bottled water, porta pots, and African
American clean-up crews (for a mostly white crowd) for what generously might be
called a thousand people (at one point or another during the event). I’m
terrible at estimating crowds, so it might have been 500 at the peak of the
rally before noon.
Most attendees
did not wear the recommended orange shirts so some of those watching the poets,
singers and marching troops in orange life vests could have been tourists who
took a few minutes from their visit to the Washington Monument to see what was
going on.
My report was
phoned in to Leo Hohmann at World
Net Daily and his write-up is here. ‘Puny’ it was!
For your
viewing pleasure, here are more photos of the day (in addition to those posted
at WND). I’ll be so interested to see how any other media reports on it.
I saw lots of fancy schmancy cameras, but I didn’t see any cable news or
reporters of any note.
