On the steps of the Supreme Court building, soft cries and the low murmur of chirping crickets filled the air as hundreds of people grieved the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Occasionally short bursts of clapping broke out before the crowd resumed its silence. At points, the crowd sang "Amazing Grace," "America the Beautiful" and "Imagine" by the John Lennon.
Shawn Boykins, 35, said a friend texted him about the news as soon as it happened. He was in the neighborhood and thought to visit the court to pay his respects.
"I can't help but think about the political implications, but I'm trying to set that aside," Boykins said. "It just reinforces that a lot's at stake in the election with so much happening, with the fires, climate change and everything."(snip)
Nairika Murphy said she was one of the first people to show up at the Supreme Court to pay her respects. She was on a walk when her family texted her the news. Not too long after she arrived, the crowd swelled into the hundreds.
"I think that this country is in a really dangerous place, and I think the fact that we're still questioning climate science and women's reproductive rights, it's unbelievable to me," Murphy said.

News crews spontaneously showed up also.
What? No conservatives invading the crowd and starting riots?

TODAY at 8pm ET, memorials at courthouses nationwide to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the courageous life of service she led.
Don’t forget to bring a friend and a mask for a (socially-distanced) vigil to honor her legacy.
virtue signaling whiny communists and know-nothings
Let the canonization of Saint Ginsburg begin. Little Ruth was born a poor black child and had to walk barefoot through ten miles of snow to get to school.
In my day it meant red green blue.
You mean Bergoglio hasn’t declared her a saint yet?
Snowflakes melting. Waaaah!
Here’s a spot of appropriate music to guide their tears from The Danish National Symphony Orchestra:

It’s really good - trust me.
The funny thing is that the Left HATES Jews. Perhaps they are too stupid to realize she was Jewish
Oh, I think they’re genuine enough. I just think this was about as spontaneous as a NASA launch.
Or, more correctly I should ask, how much were they TOLD they would be paid to attend the gathering?
Because we know Soros hasn't come through in the past on some of those promises.
Sorry, Harris Faulkner and the girls on Outnumbered but that's the way it is.
the somnambulant zombie of the SCOTUS
is no more. Big deal....good riddance
Dumb broads and a bunch of beta cucks trying to get some sympathy p****.
Can’t go see dying relatives, can’t attend funerals, can’t have a political rally, can’t open your businesses but thousands can go hang out in the streets over RBG?
Exactly.
The left is a freaking joke.
IF Roe is ever overturned it will return to the states where the issue belonged all along.
If dumbass Ms. Murphy things this country is a dangerous place, then she should walk East on E. Pennsylvania Ave NE for about 8-10 blocks.
She’s learn a whole new meaning to “dangerous”, esp. if she is a white liberal snowflake with a nice ass, if she does.
They kill “whities” in that “hood”.
You are spot on. Roe was bad law. Ginsberg was a bad Justice with no respect for the Constitution.
