What the Ferguson Protestors Are Protesting Now
Now we know that at least some of the protestors who burned buildings, looted and rioted in Ferguson, Missouri last year were promised payment of up to $5,000 per month to join the protests.
However, when the group known as Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) – the successor group to the now-bankrupt St. Louis branch of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) – stiffed the protestors, they launched a sit-inprotest at the headquarters of MORE and created a Twitter page to demand their money,according to the Washington Times.
Presidential candidate Allen West noted on his website:
“Instead of being thankful for getting off the unemployment line for a few weeks and having a little fun protesting, the paid rioters who tore up Ferguson, MO are protesting again.“First of all, can you even imagine getting paid $5,000 a month for running around holding a sign and burning down an occasional building? That’s around $1,250 per week. Try making that at McDonald’s or Starbucks.”
In an interesting twist, the Washington Times also reported that MORE is funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, through his Open Society Foundation (OSF). If Ferguson protestors were offered money to protest, how many of the people rioting in Baltimore were paid – and how many more people will be paid for civil unrest in the future?
What’s your take on inner city blacks getting paid to protest?
