NYT reports 'hundreds' at a crowd and organizers were preparing for an expected crowd of 5,000 on Tuesday and more than 30,000 throughout the week. Not particularly newsworthy for HN.

Comparing the people at DC currently and HK is so blatantly disrespectful, and such a false equivalence I don't even know where to start.
Edit: Responding to redis_mic's comment below here, because it's been rightly flagged for misinformation.
> There's plenty of evidence, literally tons, that the US 2020 election was rigged.
Show some then. The public hasn't seen any. The courts haven't seen any. No one, has seen any.
I am so done with people saying things repeatedly because they think it makes it true. Dang, I apologize for getting into flamewar territory.

Actually it's not. There's plenty of evidence, literally tons, that the US 2020 election was rigged.
As the leader of the free world, the US 2020 election results are important to the entire world. HK, not so much.

To add: Even Fox News reports it as hundreds: https://www.foxnews.com/us/dc-protesters-police-clash-on-eve...
and at least 6 have been arrested for weapons possession and assaulting police officers... so not exactly peaceful pro-democracy folks, given that what they are protesting is a (mostly) functional democratic process.

Just a heads up: All of redis_mlc's comments are dead by default. You can easily confirm this yourself. Some here and there get vouched for by others but for the most part all will be dead.
This happens to certain accounts by the moderation team. My account is the same.
