Last month’s protests in Baltimore are still fresh in the minds of Americans. They evoked images of similar, often violent demonstrations that took place last August in Ferguson, Missouri, after the police shooting death of Michael Brown.
Well, there are still protests happening today in Ferguson – but they’re a little bit different. Here’s the first part of a statement released this week by the Millennial Activists United:
“On May 14, 2015 many individuals and organizations of the protest movement that began in Ferguson, Missouri organized a sit-in in the office of Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE). The demand was simple: Cut the checks.” In other words: People are angry that they haven’t been paid for protesting in Ferguson as they were promised.
So who is MORE, exactly? Here’s the next sentence of the statement:
“Early in the movement, non-profit organization MORE, formerly known as the St. Louis chapter of ACORN…” ACORN (aka Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) filed for bankruptcy in 2010 after undercover video surfaced of ACORN workers allegedly engaged in illegal activities like soliciting voter fraud.
But the nationwide group had other problems as well, according to author Matthew Vadum:
“ACORN had a lousy employee relations track record too. It habitually failed to pay wages to its workers, directed workers to commit voter registration fraud, busted attempts to unionize the group, asked to be exempted from paying the minimum wage, and sent women to canvass alone at night in bad neighborhoods.” MORE was also known for more aggressive tactics, Vadum writes:
“MORE members went door to door last December distributing flyers in the neighborhood of St. Louis County Circuit Judge Maura B. McShane. Another way of looking at this is to say that they –like a Latin American drug gang– were trying to let the judge know that they know where she lives.” The revelation of all these tactics in Ferguson begs the question: How many of last month’s protesters in Baltimore were doing it for personal reasons – and how many were getting paid to do it?
And what would Nancy Pelosi have to say about all this?
If they promised to pay people to protest, then they should be prosecuted for inciting to riot.
she’s as naive and stupid as those female reporters who report on muslim demonstrations and than are shocked when they are attacked by feral males.
They should at least pay this leftist bimbo enough money so that she can was her hair. Of course, she wouldn’t wash it even if paid. Dirty and smelly are badges of honor for these lunatics.
Dems have quite a collection of whores. They have political whores who protest and riot for money and they have attention whores who act the fool. They also have the “sex worker” whores working for them.
Please don't omit Boehner and McConnell because they have damned sure earned their right to be there!
