Hundreds Turn Out to Protest the Trayvon Martin Verdict
According to Reuters, in New York a grand total of 2000 people showed up Saturday to protest in favor of Trayvon Martin in the George Zimmerman trial. Thats .00024257 of the population of our most populous city. More New Yorkers show up for pizza at Rays between 6:00 and 6:05 in the evening. (Well, who knows? But you get my point.)
In our second most populous city, my hometown of Los Angeles, the results were even worse, according to the Los Angeles Times. A measly 400 people demonstrated. The totals in Miami, closest big city to the event, were 300.
In other words, the turnout was somewhere between minuscule and puny maybe, at best, fifteen thousand people nationwide in a country of 314 million. (You do the math on that one
. Okay, Ill do it. Thats .00005 of the population.)
