I got there at 6:00 and there were at least 2000 people already in a line that was 3 and 4 wide and over 200 yards long.
They had passed out tickets to the first 600 in line at 5:00 so most of the people didn't get in including myself.
I some how lost my keys and my wife won't drive my pickup so I walked the 6 miles home to get her to go back to get her car.
There were probably 200 that stayed outside and had a screamfest across the police lines at the illegal supporters.
There were at least 200 Carlsbad cops and Sheriffs there and 8 or 10 media trucks.
When you consider that after 6:00 there were as many people leaving as there were ariving for the next hour there were probably 5000 or better showed up.
I heard once I got home there were 300 police officers. I will say that they were very courteous and professional.
