I don't know, but when they count the number, are they going to use
"statistical" (snicker, cough, choke...) methods, and "really" count only a
very dense area, and then apply this density for some overall (inflated)
area...and play with the numbers so that 10,000, including normal traffic
and tourists etc. somehow turns into "100,000 ANGRY protestors"?
