800 march through Charlotte, decrying financial system
Staff reports
The Charlotte Observer
Posted: Sunday, Sep. 02, 2012
**SNIP**
The marchers – representing the unemployed, undocumented immigrants, gay rights activists and many others – stretched the length of a city block. About 800 people joined the march, police estimated.
Some protesters lamented the lower-than-expected turnout.
“Why aren’t there more young people?” asked Richard Conely.
The 61-year-old Atlanta resident, who was in town to show solidarity and take photographs, contrasted the gathering with protests he remembered from the 60s.
**SNIP**
Among the signs waved by demonstrators: “Tax the Banksters. End plutocracy,” “Bust up the Banks” and “I came for the police brutality.”

Can’t wait until the dried up hippies that are in their 60s now croak. They’re sickening.

800? More like 80. I was at a Tea Party event that had at least 10,000, and the media said there was 1000. The media sucks.

Take that up with your abortophile friends, Mr. Conely.

800? More like 80. The Charlotte Observer shows exactly one picture of the protesters, and, if there're 80 in that picture, it's just barely.
If there were actually 800 marching, why can't the Charlotte Observer show a picture of them from "AirStar 36" ?
I lived in NC for a couple of years, back in the late '70s. They weren't stupid down there back then. What happened?

“The protesters come from a coalition of more than 90 local and national groups, from Students for a Democratic Society to Veterans for Peace.”
Hmmmm. 800 protesters divided by 90 groups would be about 9 protesters per group average.

Only if they stood hand in hand like a line of paper dolls, if they were lucky. These protests seem to be growing smaller and smaller

Good Lord, I’d hit it.
Then I’d hit it again to make sure I didn’t miss...
