The number you got is higher than what the 6 o'clock news said here in Charleston. They said it was about 50 marchers. The pictures they showed looked more like 30 to me. However, I can tell you that the television stations in Charleston have taken the side of the flag opponents. Not only can you tell that from their coverage and how they report things, but also from the commentaries given by the on air personalities.
Unfortunately, in some areas the flag supporters had to line the roads as the marchers passed waving their flags. Their behavior showed how ignorant some of them are.
I pray the march finishes without incident. However, as Mayor Riley stated on the news tonight, the death threat he received was all about hate and not heritage. I have agree with that.
