We'll see once 4-5pm rolls around.

Its one of those situations where nobody wants to be the small group out there by themselves at the beginning. The organizer and a few others will just have to hold it down while a few trickle in here and there... then everybody will show up all at once.

Man, if the only people at the big bad protest are the media, it would be fricking amazing if it weren't LSU at the middle of it.

look, the entire protest thing is silly, but if you're going to do it and set 2:30 as the start time, then you damn well better have a bunch of people there at 2:30.
