Donald Trump may have a point about paid protesters: Job ads running in more than 20 cities offer $2,500 per month for agitators to demonstrate at this week’s presidential inauguration events.

Demand Protest, a San Francisco company that bills itself as the “largest private grassroots support organization in the United States,” posted identical ads Jan. 12 in multiple cities on Backpage.com seeking “operatives.”

“Get paid fighting against Trump!” says the ad.

Demand Protest, a San Francisco company.

When this company hires these protesters they are legally responsible for their conduct regardless of their NGO status.

As in any employer/employee relationship the employer takes on the liability for the actions it's employees, because the employee is acting as an agent for the company/organization.

Indeed.

I can only imagine some Project Veritas applicants trying to “join the team” now.

I would think that in a week or so, evading the FBI on this will become much more difficult.

There were three of these cowards on an overpass yesterday. Couldn’t show their faces. ..3 cops watching them. Foul words on their signs. Very unladylike, but I flipped them off!

This was downtown dallas.

Yeah, I went there and checked them out, but for all the angst about the ads, I'd like to see one - similar to the work of some poster who screen-shotted those CraigsList ads a while back.

I'm not doubting the intent of these people, but would like a copy of the ad for my archives. I've used those CraigsList shots on a couple of occasions to prove a point.

[sidebar] The best that Snopes could do is say the charge against the Craigslist ads was "Unproven" rather than "False". Check them out to see how they tap dance around the issue.

Trump needs to arrest him as a terrorist.
= = = = = = = = = = =
Nah, put a couple of SEAL teams on him.

Better yet get one of those Security Teams that are staffed by former SEALs and SpeOps Forces.....

Bag his wrinkled ass up and drop him on the Kremlin steps.

Sounds like a scam or phishing scheme to me. Who’s going to pay $50 a hour plus a guaranteed 2500 a month for these dirtbags. I hope some leftists get taken.

“We are strategists mobilizing millennials across the globe with seeded audiences and desirable messages,” says the website. “With absolute discretion a top priority, our operatives create convincing scenes that become the building blocks of massive movements. When you need the appearance of outrage, we are able to deliver it at scale while keeping your reputation intact.”

Real reporters would take the next logical step - - find out who's buying the thugs...

FOLLOW THE MONEY - FOLLOW THE MONEY!

Different “jurisdiction” but same date for the ad. Guess they have ad buys in a lot of places.

During the election they were offering $125 per day. That’s all I recall.
