Humboldt County papers reported the actual facts of Sunday's
rally - 897 arrested and cited out of at least 5000 protesters.
The last group crossing the line was not formally arrested,
handcuffed or cited but the total who crossed was about 1035.
The arrests were continuous from around 4 PM to after 11 PM.

The SF Chronicle reported 150 arrests and a much smaller crowd.
Nonsense.  The marching column stretched all 1.4 miles from the
rally site to the CD site.  Allowing an average of 8 people
wide and 10 ft. spacing gives about 6000.
