The first estimates reports that there were about two thousand people in the demonstration.

The campers had decided on a route that went past key agents of the immigration scandal but the police made them go on another route that went through basically nowhere.

However, they did get to the ferry port and no one got arrested nor beaten.

again, police protecting private property

In one of the pics you can see the police protecting the Hotel Holiday Inn, which some times is used as a detention centre for migrants waiting for their own deportation.

turnout for the rather daunting task of removing national borders in a capitalist world?

hmmm.

You might need a few more people in swimming trunks.
