[JK/SEA]

did your crystal ball factor in those who didn't RSVP but are going?

[muh_roads]

If Adam asks people to march without him, hopefully they will.

I have no idea.

Judges 7


The Lord said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, for Israel [c]would become boastful, saying, ‘My own [d]power has delivered me.’ 3 Now therefore [e]come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So 22,000 people returned, but 10,000 remained.

4 Then the Lord said to Gideon, “The people are still too many; bring them down to the water and I will test them for you there. Therefore it shall be that he of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.” 5 So he brought the people down to the water. And the Lord said to Gideon, “You shall separate everyone who laps the water with his tongue as a dog laps, as well as everyone who kneels to drink.” 6 Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water. 7 The Lord said to Gideon, “I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the other people go, each man to his [f]home.” 8 So [g]the 300 men took the people’s provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And [h]Gideon sent all the other men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

Just need the right group of dogs.

How do you drink from a stream?

If Adam asks people to march without him, hopefully they will.

if Adam does that, his credibilty will be gone. Short of a medical emergency, GITMO, or a close family member dying.

... or being incarcerated?

[Anti Federalist]

This pleases me.

[JK/SEA]

I said GITMO.

[Debbie Downer]

This pleases me.

A Mexican saying that would sound like he's saying "displeases me."

Good thing I'm not a Mexican then, huh?

How can I be sure of that?

I'd feel better with 50K but 5 is certainly respectable!

5,006 Going now
4,335 MAYBE now

My guess would be most of the Going ones will and some of the Maybe ones will and a bunch of people not on Facebook or who just didn't RSVP will show.

1,000 - no prob
10,000 - maybe
100,000 - probably not

My guess is around 850-1100. No more than 1500.

U got money on that?

[Debbie Downer]

U got money on that?

Sure. I see at least a dozen people on the "going" list who I know for a fact aren't going. And that's just from a 2 second peak.

Realistically, FB invite lists usually have fairly low turnouts. Some people say they're going to an event out of solidarity but don't end up going, esp to something like this. We shall see tho.

well, that settles it then. Guess we better give up.

Did I say that?

All I said is that expected 5000-10000 people based on a facebook event page is being way too optimistic.

OH, i see. Maybe its your name that made me think you were being pessimistic...

You could just as well say that you were glad to see 5,000 plus are going at this time, but your negative attitude is......a downer. Get your head up, be proud and hopeful, think positive thoughts.....

Wait, you wouldn't happen to be the Sheriff of D.C. would you?...

No, I'm just the forum's resident pessimist. :p

I do hope that thousands show up, I'm just skeptical it will happen.

You could have 25,000 show up. But what if the media blacks it out like they've been known to do? Will the rest of America know about it? Then again, maybe the whole point is to make the politicians nervous. And they WILL know about it if the turnout is substantial.

The politicians know the media will somewhat cover for them. In my opinion marches should have taken place in front of media outlets like MSNBC to make them back off and force them to do their job covering such things.

Then when the march for the benefit of the politicians comes they are already nervous seeing what went on with media and would ultimately know that the media will not have their back.

All it takes is one retard to turn this thing into a nightmare.

If you're going, PLEASE keep your eyes open for potential shit stirrers.

shit stirrers?...would that include gestapo?

oh..you mean cops..

[Krzysztof Lesiak]

Yeah Facebook RSVP's don't mean anything. Over 4k RSVP'ed to the March Against Monsanto in Chicago today, not even one fourth of that showed up, at least that's my estimate based on the pictures and videos I've seen.

He means a 'downer' showing up.

20-25% isn't bad. If the same number show in DC and no one else signs up, that's 1,000-1,250ppl.

Still, the media are sometimes deceptively hostile. We had a 2A rally in MD where over 4,000 showed up the photo's the paper took had the 3 kookiest ppl they could find in the center of the shot and of the protesters in the background they made it look like only 50-100ppl showed up. The article didn't mention turnout.
