[quote=eloisetheo][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't anticipate any issues at all, and there in fact, were zero issues. Everything was completely peaceful and I saw so many occasions of strangers helping strangers - it was great!

I think the scared or worried people fell into a few camps.
- Conservatives trying to dissuade people from going to keep numbers down
- People who generally live a life of fear, don't go into the city, and don't like to venture out and try new things.
- People who aren't as supportive of issues as they say they or pretend they are.

I know some people didn't go because of work conflicts, or because of issues with crowds - and I get that. But I'm specifically talking about those who expressed unwarranted concerns and worries. [/quote]
Minwas one of those and given that Trump supporters would be in town I did not think it was unwarranted concern. I did not fall into any of your 3 arbitrary groups. I simply was concerned fights could break out and the crowds would make it difficult to get away from anything bad that happened. I do admit I was wrong and it was a great day.

Eh, there probably would have bden a fight on the metro ag so.e point this past weekend even if the inauguration & march had not taken place. I live in San Francisco now but when I was in DC, I witnessing fights while in crowded metro trains wasn't all that unusual, especiau. Most just involved the parties shouting obscenities & threats at each other & maybe some pushing, but I did see 2 fights where punches were thrown & the police came. I've only lived in SF for about 7 months & have already witnessed one such fight on a BART platform (& a couple of shouting matches  she on trains). It's just part of taking public transportation, particularly when you take it in places & at times where there are going to be a lot of people taking it with you. [/quote]
