100,000 source ( San Francisco Chronicle): Oakland’s Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan (a capable and politically smart leader in a tough position) got the Occupy Oakland General Strike crowd count massively wrong: it’s not 7,000, but 100,000. http://blog.sfgate.com/abraham/2011/11/03/occupy-oakland-strike-draws-100000-…

Absolutely enormous crowd hit the street in Oakland in support of Oakland. They took over a highway; there’s got to be a good 100,000 people there.

Via Veterans Today:

The bottom line is all of this Occupy Oakland General Strike business has been misreported. The count is 100,000, not 7,000. And the night of activities should not be seen as marring a successful day of parties and festivities.

    I am a big supporter of the Occupy movement; however, that aerial footage in no way reflected 100,000.   I would have liked to have seen the beginning to the end of the march.

    No matter how hard the Republicans and their control on the press seems to be, there’s a reality that pictures seem to convey.   The movement is much stronger than that idiots on the right want to convey… and this is the picture… We’re not going to let the rich rule the poor… but we want equality, whether or not we are the privileged.
