14th anniversary - where's the action??

I found a particularly gloomy, depressed description of the 9/11/2015 action at Ground Zero by a Truther in the comments of a Craig McKee posting, written during the day itself:

I will spare you any sentimental commentary…. Just a quick report about the state of affairs at Ground Zero on this 14th anniversary…

Number of protesters (of any stripe) has gone down to under 20
• 1 individual, who stood alone on a corner, holding up a sign that read “Nanothermite” with no commentary… No one looked at him, no one spoke to him
• 6 people with matching – and now really worn and washed out looking – “911 was an inside job” t-shirts, smoking and chatting among themselves
• 1 guy who was wearing a “Architects and Engineers” t-shirt who stood silently by himself
• A couple (a man and a woman) I have grown accustomed to seeing at these anniversaries holding multiple hand-written building 7 signs
• And a few people, like myself, who lingered around without engaging in any active protests or messaging
• No long lines of “family members” waiting to go into the memorial
• No police band, fire brigades, or any other ceremonial groups
• No TV crews besides a couple of Russian and Korean reporters
• No more commemorative 9/11 newspapers being handed out
• No more people walking around handing out small American flags and/or DVDs
• Official memorial held annually at the small St. Paul Chapel half full at best
• No more parade of flag bearing Harley Davidsons
• No more We Are Change or any other similar organized Truther groups…
• No more heated sidewalk discussions between “theorists” and opposing passers by
• An army of volunteers dispersed around the streets handing out “free” gospel bracelets,
• A group of thirty quaker ladies with their apron and bonnets singing hymns on the sidewalk
• A team of three Jehova’s Wittness sales people handing out “literature” with posters like “Does God really care?” “Can there be life after death?

Lastly, a quick something I overheard as I sat on a bench less than half a block away from 9/11 memorial (100% true to the last word)

Man1 – Why is there so many cops around?
Man2 – It is the anniversary of September 11
Man1- Really?


Happy anniversary everyone.

Three days earlier, the same Truther had already predicted this poor showing:

As a NYC resident who experienced the event first hand, I have attended every 9/11 anniversary since 2001 (as I will this Thursday).

Sadly, there were only a handful of people at last year’s anniversary. Definitely not more than thirty-fourty people at any given time, in small groups or individuals, scattered around the neighborhood.

They were more like silent (and defeated looking) protesters as hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers walked by, some of them just carrying on with their business, and some making huge efforts not to make eye contact with the protesters just the way they do when they walk by a homeless person. The latter is definitely a sign of guilt. A fearful guilt of knowing, but not daring.

If we need one million this year, I suspect we will be one million short.

I can think of other reasons than guilt for not wanting to make eye contact with a 9/11 truther. Like, for example, knowing you're going to get your ears talked off if you do.
