I finished the 2 hour march and then odd stuff sort of started to happen. I stood on an elevated level to try to see was going on since it was confusing everyone.

Basically, there were 2 protests about 1/2 mile apart in downtown. The other march ended up converging with the one I was in and a sea of people fanned put in every direction as far as you could see.i knew it would be massive due to the recent immigration/deportation issue.

Initially they sad "thousands of protesters" will show up. I said it would be at least 40,000 since that was the number at the 2017 Women't March and the atmosphere right now is much angrier. Now they say 60,000 attended. That figure could even be too low.
