"No Kings" flash mob. Two minute run-time
Of course, out here in the hinter-boonies we call No Kings "The Fourth of July" or "Independence Day". We have these demonstrations every year regardless of who is in office.
It has a distinctly different "feel" than the more recent, urban "No Kings" events.

The route is 1.2 miles long from the McDonalds on Spicerville Highway to Knight Street. That is 6300 feet. Spectator density ranges from "very light" near the start of the parade to "four deep on each side of the road" near the end. So if we figure 3 feet between spectators and one-deep on both sides, that works out to 4200 spectators. Add in another 300 participants and you have an estimate of 4500 people attending.
That is a pretty good showing for a town with 5200 residents.
Stay in your small town. It is the last bastion of sanity. --ken
