At least some of the protesters who looted, rioted, burned buildings and overturned police cars in Ferguson, Missouri, last year were promised payment of up to $5,000 per month to join the protests.
However, when the 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 protesters, they launched a sit-in protest at the headquarters of MORE and created a Twitter page to demand their money, the Washington Times reports.
Presidential candidate and former Rep. Allen B. West, R-Fl., 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 $5,000.00 a month for running around holding a sign and burning down an occasional building? That's around $1,250.00 per week. Try making that at McDonalds or Starbucks."

Gee, imagine if they rioted at the offices of those who created the previous riot.
They’re not peaceful protesters, they’re society’s official drama queens.
I hope they get their money. The organisers need to be charged for fraud and worst
Oh the rich irony...
All those free TVs, cell phones, and boom boxes weren’t enough?

Commie pinko honkies not sharing the wealth?
In nearby Newark NJ there have been (peaceful) protests by “students” that want the state to return control of the school district to Newark itself; while the students themselves seem genuine (ethnic minorities dressed the part), they are interspersed with (and led by) older whites (who certainly aren’t students, and probably don’t even live in Newark). They block traffic on highways to inconvenience working taxpayers; I couldn’t imagine a better way to drive the last viable jobs out of your city...
WHERE is MORE getting their funding from? It’s either Soros or the US TAXPAYER.
Finally. Some are starting to realize that the dependency govt largely exists to employ leftys to service those in govt bondage.
“Presidential candidate” Allen B. West? I must have missed that announcement. He would be a fine running mate for President Cruz.
Gotta love it. ‘Hope they get mad enough to burn and loot Soros’ organizations.
I’m talking about riotous, looting thugs running around like raped apes setting fire to cars, buildings and businesses. If that’s not dramatic then nothing but all-out war is.
Too effin bad.
Saw This Coming: Cleveland Reaches Settlement With DOJ Over Police Conduct
Said this was coming next. Doesn’t matter that the police officer was acquitted. Each incident is not the individual facts in the case, but about the DOJ inserting itself, and asserting control.

Soros a chizzler? Who’d a’ thunk it?
Oh, this is devolving nicely.
