The Wednesday Daily Sun clearly stated the signing was "open to the public". At no time was it stated it was a private event.

People who wore tee shirts merely stating "vote Democratic" were considered "protestors" and escorted off the square.

The sheriffs were moving people off the square not for security reasons but merely due to the allegation it was a private event and whoever "leased" the square decided who stays and who goes.

The Daily Sun's crowd estimate of around 1,000 is laughable. Real media outlets estimated it closer to 500. Apparently they round off numbers to the nearest 1,000.
