Lazarus, best not to get bogged down by the numbers. However, you might consider that half as many people who are being called upon to show up for war, showed up against war. Fair enough?

Interesting. The article you cite says:

Over 10,000 people marched from Dolores Park to City Hall in San Francisco protesting war
and
The rally ... began at Dolores Park shortly before noontime. The demonstrators weaved their way through the streets of San Francisco, ultimately ending at the Civic Center Plaza in front of City Hall.

The main group assembled at Justin Herman Plaza, marched straight up market street, and involved a lot more than 10,000 people. I was near the front of the march and was wondering why so many people were already at City Hall plaza when we arrived. A secondary march from Dolores Park explains it. Gracias.
