Upwards of 1 million people were at the protest this past Sunday. There's only a population of 7 million people in the entire SAR. That's the proportional equivalent of every man, woman &child in California, Oregon and Washington meeting in a single spot to protest something. Even if not everyone agrees on the exact details of what they're protesting, seeing that much passionate support behind a cause is a good indicator that the outrage is widespread.
- throwawayctyga3 7y agoSo 6 million people didn’t protest? Are they the silent majority?
- codezero 7y agoProbably: too old, too young, too occupied with some other life necessity, in the hospital, in school, or afraid. One million is absolutely astonishing to me. Last I heard it was ~200k people.
- ngcc_hk 7y agoIn there. Cf to 2003 the scale is higher and 200k is not. If you have a chance to look at those time lapse, 1 million is likely.
