Police didn't estimate the size of the crowd, but organizers said about 80,000 people took part."That 80,000 people can show up in such a short period of time — it shows the anger and unity of the Hong Kong people," lawmaker Cheung Man-kwong said.Hong Kongers blasted Manila police for what they called an amateurish rescue attempt.
