Did they make a followup offer for a different deal?
Seems like a occupation tax should be imposed on organizations like this to pay for police needs.
Say, 100% of money paid and also make professional protestors get a license.
Rent-a-mob companies, NGOs, whatever, need to be forced to put up a very large Bond to cover the potential damage their hired thugs cause for each and every event. Peaceful and no damage then the bond is returned. Burn cars and loot? Every single loss must be covered by the bond.
They’re planning more racist nonsense and called on the same guy who helped out with providing stereotypicalmy dressed mobs at Charlottesville.

He couldn’t be persuaded, since Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.
How interesting that this article about “crowds on demand” is published in the Hindustan times. I wonder if it is getting any publicity in the USA. I have always suspected that there were people paying others to attend riots and demonstrations, but never knew there was an actual business called “crowds on demand”.
The left is so phony but they are protected by the propaganda media. The right, at least those in DC, are so willing to be like the Washington Generals losing every time to the. Harlem Globetrotters (Democrats). Why didn’t we know about this organization and others like it?
He claims he had nothing to do with Charlottesville but others say they spotted his ads:

The CEO of Crowds on Demand denied to Snopes that his firm was involved in the Charlottesville protests but refused to provide details on the specific purpose of the craigslist ad and/or why it was temporarily removed yesterday before being restored.
“We were not involved in any capacity with the recent tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those impacted by the violence”
WGAF about the less-follicled man named Lewis? How far we have fallen if that is what is called a leader.
This is good news. This guy knows the DOJ is tracking down the organizations and people responsible for the carnage along with those funding it.
He is wise not to fall for the setup.
BS, we’re on to these phucks and they Don want to go jail for incitement!
When one takes pay to “demonstrate,” are they not in fact a paid (and unregistered) lobbyist? I can’t see Free Speech rights attaching to that.
The CEO of Crowds on Demand says he didn’t hesitate to walk away from the deal. “I’m rejecting it not because I don’t want to take the business, but because frankly, this is going to be ineffective; it’s going to make us all look bad,” he told NewsNation.

Swart also cited safety fears as another reason for rejecting the offer.

“When work isn’t giving him enough challenges, Adam enjoys competing in tennis tournaments, trail running up mountains, and keeping up with his 2-year-old Goldendoodle. Adam spends his time between Scottsdale, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Los Angeles.”
the stated reason.
who’s safety?
definitely a hot potato. surprised he made a public statement but probably couldn’t avoid it.
“I’m rejecting it not because I don’t want to take the business, but because frankly, this is going to be ineffective; it’s going to make us all look bad,” Swart said.
When asked who exactly offered his firm the money to recruit people, Swart would not disclose the information because he does not talk about who exactly his clients are and that it would be “bad for business.”
Aside from believing the protests would not make a difference, Swart added that his concerns about violence unfolding at Thursday’s protests also led him to reject the contract.
I’m sure Soros can do better than a paltry $20 million...
John Lewis besmirched himself with all that performative acting.
The trick is to find enough clymers to take the bribe. Seems easy.
Is this how Kamala spent all that campaign money?
The CEO of “crowds on demand” was interviewed on the Laura Ingraham show tonight on Fox News. He said that 100% of the people protesting are paid in some way. Some are by directly an organization. Some are by a union for whom they will get good assignments if they show up to protest and poor assignments if they don’t. There were other ways of paying people as well, but did not delineate them.
I was hoping Laura would ask him if any right wing demonstrations had people who were paid to be there. I have participated in many demonstrations over the years mostly the March for life in DC and patriotic demonstrations there. I was never paid by anybody nor did I know anyone there who was paid.
I saw an interview with this guy about a month ago. He started this business when he was in college. He didn’t know that paying a couple friends then would lead to what’s going on now.
