2. Maybe mid-20s. Near college campus, mostly students with a handful of gray-hairs sprinkled in.

What was missing were folks between 30 and 60. I did not see many that I would guess were in that age group. They seemed either younger or older.

Maybe 40 people overall. This is heavy Trump country. I think the nearby college is the center of antifa activity around here.
