I just saw this on the tv. Looks like pro and anti are going to rally around the same area. I have a feeling this could get pretty bad fast. CNN is estimating 50,000 people are going to show up. Im going to be watching the news to see if they have live coverage of this event later.

Anybody from around the area heard going to be there today? If anyone does go to it, make sure to take some pictures and videos for us.

I don't think it will be bad at all considering Americans never do violent protests. Funny, America overall has a high crime rate but when it comes to protests, people are scared to do anything.

Dang and I'm in So California this week,I live a few miles from Tempe,maybe I'll have kid go by and see if it isn't another Ruse,like the grocery clerk strike,according to media 15k were against,my kid said 12 were at rally,12 people,seems media likes adding zeros

The downtown rally supporting 1070 was reported to have 1000 or so people. The emphasis was that most were our of state residents. Pointless in my opinion because they do not live here.
As for the one in Tempe supporting 1070, I imagine it will have a decent turnout. The people in the state supporting making it illegal to be in the country illegally(aka sb1070) are a majority. If all goes well I will have some photos to post later on.
