Most (but not quite all) No Kings protests have concluded by now

And the Only reports of violence are by obvious MAGA cult members against the protestors

A man intentionally drove an SUV into a crowd of protesters in Culpepper, Virginia, on Saturday, striking at least one person, according to Washington DC’s Fox affiliate.

In San Francisco, a car hit at least four “No Kings” protesters in what authorities are investigating as a “possible intentional act”.

Texas authorities closed the state capitol grounds following a “credible threat” toward lawmakers planning to attend a protest.

A hugely successful protest by everyone!!! Congrats to everyone!!!! I'll be curious to hear total numbers but it's clearly in the multiple millions. They estimated the Hands Off protest crowds in April at 3 to 5 million. And that was with only half as many protest sites. Almost all reports are today are that the crowds are much bigger than in April. Total attendance has got to be at least double from April.

Some crowd numbers from The Guardian:

over 200,000 in New York
over 100,000 in Philadelphia

plus some small towns with sizable crowds for their populations, including the town of Pentwater, Michigan, which saw 400 people join the protest in their 800-person town
