"No Kings" crowd estimates

 

Butler Field, Chicago fifteen minutes after the event kicked off.

Approximately 13,000 square meters comfortably contains the high-density portion of the crowd.

When given a choice, crowds in the United States rarely exceed 2 people per square meter. A very defensible estimate for the size of the crowd at the main, "No Kings" rally in Illinois is 25,000 people. The mainstream media reported that a quarter-million people attended the protest.

For the record, the Chicago Teachers Union claims to have 20,000 members and that does not include retirees.

Atlanta, MASSIVE "No Kings" protest

Twenty bodies in the red square. 120 in the green rectangle.
Extrapolating, 600 total in the crowd. A football game at Greater Atlanta Christian school draws a bigger crowd than that.

Given the numbers, it is not impossible that 1/2% of the crowd could have been Feds collecting evidence to be exploited at some future time.

  1. And most of them were probably paid to be there...
