My guess, about 2500 people showed up. We had 2 pickup trucks (4 white guys) flying their TSF 2024 and Rebel flags drive around the blocks several times. I think we had them out numbered. I had lots of folks taking photos of my Baby Trump balloon.
This is my last American protest as I will be moving to Costa Rica in 3 weeks.

I lowered the number of attendees to match local news estimate.
