I never understood why a second protest was created to happen a week before the real one. Really seemed like a split & distract situation.

it wasn't.. they were both planned with no knowledge of the other, by two different organizers... when they discovered each other, the folks in the first demonstration had already finalized all their plans and both agreed trying to get everyone to either one of the events wasn't feasible, so they just went on with both.

it really wasn't... the idea of a march was out there in the community and someone was bound to act on as soon as the weather broke decent enough to be outdoors that long in DC.
