How many people showed up at yesterday's Second City version of the May 1 March? That depends on who you ask.
According to the March organizers, the number of protesters was 700,000. At this point, I want to invoke what I call Marathon Pundit's Law of Rally Attendance.
That law is, take whatever crowd estimate given by a rally organizer, then slice it in half. You then will have a much more accurate crowd count.
Along that line of thinking, the Chicago Police figured the count to be around 400,000.
Case closed.
