100,000 is my estimate. The DC Metro Police, as reported by the Washington Post, put the number at 75,000. The march from Freedom Plaza on Pennsylvania Ave. to the west side of the Capitol on Saturday started around 1:30 pm. At 3:00 pm, people from the convergences at the ellipse and the Sylvan theater were still making the turn by the White House on to Pennsylvania, having yet to arrive at Freedom Plaza.
