Masked marchers gathered in front of the White House Tuesday to protest
against corporations and corruption in government as part of similar
rallies held around the world on Guy Fawkes Day, Nov. 5 — which is
primarily celebrated in the United Kingdom.
Members of the hacking activist group Anonymous called for
demonstrations in more than 450 locations around the world as part of a
Million Mask March on the day that marks the anniversary of the 1605
Gunpowder Plot that failed to blow up the English Parliament.
Protesters in Washington, D.C., made their way to Pennsylvania Avenue
chanting, "Obama. Come out. We've got some s*** to talk about," among
other things.
Jon Croteau, of Washington, D.C., said he was demonstrating to make his
voice heard.
"We just want the government to represent the people," he said.
The timing on the 5th was nebulous, but I found an article that said
"9am to 9pm" and indications it was to be timed to GMT. The GCP event
was set for 0900 to 2100 on Nov 5. The result is Chisquare 43591.022
on 43200 df, for p = 0.092 and Z = 1.329.
This analysis is corrected by removing one rotten egg.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish
signal from noise. This means that every "success" might be
largely driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
