I would bet the number would be very close to zero and those whose life is impacted, I would imagine that it would be inconsequential.
Protesting the protestors and the petitions seem more like some more people with too much time on their hands.

Oh come on now. It's not about the nature of the protest, it's about the equal enforcement of bylaws and the enjoyment of our parkspaces and nothing more! Didn't you read the petition?
If this was pro-life protest camping in that park, or a protest to gain benefits for veterans, or a protest to ban gay marriage, First Lady and other conservatives would be equally outraged, and would be circulating petitions to have them evicted. They'd also be organizing a counter protest on Sunday afternoon.
