> and navigating the bureaucratic machine for getting a permit is, by official D.C. guidelines, estimated to take at least 6 months The March for Science, which originated largely from a Reddit thread, happened in 4 months: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_for_Science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_for_Science The Women's March was organized in 2.5 months: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Women%27s_March https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Women%27s_March edit: In the "update" post, the blogger of the allegation basically ignores the explanations for the confusion and goes with the conspiracy. At that point, I think it's reasonable for Politifact to say the blogger is acting in bad faith: > Given the different dates he’s given for when Metro PD received the permit application and when Metro PD issued the permit, we have no reason to believe Officer Scott Earhardt. In all probability, his first email of March 28 to Dammegard’s contact is most likely the truthful one — that D.C. Metropolitan Police Department received an application for a permit for March For Our Lives “several months” before the March. That in turn implies that, contrary to how the March had been presented to the American people, the Parkland school shooting is not the inspiration for March For Our Lives and may even have been planned and contrived. https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2018/04/05/parklathe-curious-ever-changing-dates-of-march-for-our-lives-permit-application/ https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2018/04/05/parklathe-curiou...
