First they lied claiming hardly anyone showed up by comparing an 8 am 2017 picture (when people were only starting to arrive) to 12 noon fully packed 2009 picture. (a sly deception indeed)
But the reality (found here) was something entirely different:
As you can see, the spaces shown empty previously, were actually packed!
Not to mention the fact that it was beginning to rain, and their were protestors actually blocking entrances, and even beating people up, preventing a lot of people from being able to attend!
The truth is: The place was PACKED!!
