Some of the photos are posted here.

how many people where @ the protest?
Xanthippa says:
This is hard to gage: people kept arriving during the whole length of the rally – and some spilled over onto the near street. Also, I am not that good at counting this…
Still, my guess would be that as the rally got started, there were around 300+ people. By the time it ended, I suspect the number was around 500.
The pictures I took are mostly from the beginning of the rally. When the drizzle started, my camera fogged up a lot (only one picture from when Rob Snow was speaking turned out – the rest were foggy). So the photos show the crowd before it got to its full size.
