Texas clown show from a drone

[Beachnutt]

Actually from this view it is a very small loon gathering.

1. We usually draw 10 times that many people for a charity run here

[sinkingfeeling]

2. I think our county fair is bigger.

[FSogol]

7. So is the local Boy Scout Camporee. n/t

[Emile]

3. I've seen bigger crowds at our county fair and

I live in the least populated county in the state of Indiana.

4. We get that larger a gathering in mid winter to cross county ski 10 kilometers across a frozen stretch of Lake Superior.

Four thousand skiers have braved sub-zero temperatures for 27 seasons.

This drone view is not at all impressive in comparison.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. With all the guns you just know are there, I would be afraid to fly my drone over that crowd.

I fly a drone almost every day for my profession and have been threatened at least a dozen times by idiots with guns. And yes, I have called the police/county sheriff on a couple of the worst offenders.

6. Thanks. The media has mentioned it's only 100-200

but they're also constantly hyping it so people get the idea it's huge.

8. If the enforcers were to run their canines through the parked cars

They’d hit a maga load of drugs, not saying I’m in favor of this, but just wanted to acknowledge the point that there’s probably a lot of meth stashed in their vehicles.

9. News item here says "several hundred" - what happened to the 650K *others*?!

[Kali]

10. not many big trucks

the 4 or 5 I saw could have belonged to that farm. just looks like another sad trump my pillow rally.

[blogslug]

11. Anyone want to estimate ratio of merch-vendors to rubes?

[Beachnutt]

13. Probably 50/50

Magaloon mechandisers, gun sales, drug sales, military product sales etc..

[SarahD]

28. I had the same thought.

[GoneOffShore]

12. It needs some comments - I left one about pathetic deluded cult members.

[UTUSN]

14. This item says "several hundred" - what happened to the other 680K?

15. A small flea-market with Trump shirts, flags and Ted Nugget

[Mr.Bill]

16. I enlarged the screen, took a careful count, and

they appear to be a little short of 700,000.

[keithbvadu2]

22. Sean Spicer could bump up that count.

You must not be doing it right.

[wolfie001]

34. Greatest turnout ever!!!!

Half (maybe less) of the number that turned out for Obama in 2009!

[love_katz]

17. It's obvious that they are not hurting for money.

Aren't these people always shouting about how immigrants are hurting them economically?

[Beachnutt]

18. And not much praying for the

immigrant families that have walked for miles to get to America.

[et tu]

21. alsways thoughts and prayers

now go buy a shirt and diet coke~

[Turbineguy]

19. I think I figured this out.

It's a marketing campaign by the porta-potty people to drum up business.

[moniss]

20. You get a larger group for hot dog day

in the parking lot at the local discount store.

[pwb]

23. The Loony Star State

swing and a miss again. Pathetic place full of sheeple.

[Takket]

24. There are more people in the bathroom line at a Taylor Swift concert.

[keithbvadu2]

35. Brrrrrrrr! That's cold!

[Dem_in_Nebr.]

25. From Shakespeare. . ..

"Lord what fools these mortals be."
A Midsummer's Night Dream

[Think. Again.]

26. For some reason I thought...

...it was supposed to be a truck thing, you know, disrupting shipping and commerce and all that.

This looks like a slow day at the weekly flea market.

[Brother Buzz]

27. Banner day for flag vendors, Baby!

[leftyladyfrommo]

29. Not an immigrant in sight.

So I read they all went off to a dodgy children's camp.and baptised each other in the river. Hopefully there wasn't razor wire in that part of the river.

[mountain grammy]

30. I hope the local businesses are making $$$

[riversedge]

31. Rather thin crowd.

[JustAnotherGen]

32. That's it?

[pecosbob]

33. I hope the local merchants are gouging them.

[Wonder Why]

36. I see the clowns. I see the wild animals. Where are the big top tents?
