I know. I have walked past that park for years. I have walked through that park. I was there a few weeks ago.

Brevity with knowledge beats long-windedness with ignorace.

Are you a joke? What I said was that yes, yesterday afternoon, when the park was re-opened, yes, there were estimates of two to three thousand people there. From the people actually there: police, news, feeds from the ground.

Feel free to continue to call them false. After all, you walked by the park a few weeks ago, so you are an expert on what happened when the park re-opened yesterday around 5:00pm.

Perhaps the industrious miscreants increased the size of the park in the few weeks since I last visited it -- on more than once occasion -- and yesterday.

That crowd always struck me as the "doers" of society.

Why don't you simply pay attention to the news stories, the live images, the pictures?
