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.
Former U.S. Rep. Allen B. 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 $5,000.00 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 McDonald’s or Starbucks.”
The Kansas City Star estimates that the Ferguson riots, characterized as a spontaneous eruption of anger over the shooting of unarmed black criminal Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, cost the county $4.2 million.
Millennial Activists United (MAU) posted a letter on their website stating, “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. The protesters say they are unable to pay their bills after taking time to travel to Ferguson.
“Questions have been raised as to how the movement is to sustain when white non-profits are hoarding monies collected of off (sic) black bodies? When we will (sic) hold the industry of black suffering accountable? The people of the community are fed up and the accountability begins here and now,” the letter continues.
“There is an insidious strand of racism and white supremacy that exists in this movement. This money is typically in the hands of white people who oversee the types of services that the non-profit provides, while having select token black people to spearhead the conversations within and to the community.”
MORE is funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, the Times notes, through his Open Society Foundations (OSF).
The OSF, the Times states, paid for activists from various protest groups to travel to Ferguson and take part in the demonstrations.
Akiba Solomon of Colorlines stated, “More than 500 of us have traveled from Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Nashville, Portland, Tucson, Washington, D.C., Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and other cities to support the people of Ferguson and help turn a local moment into a national movement,” the Times noted.
“There’s absolutely no doubt that part of the reason that Ferguson flared up was because protesters were being paid to be there. That makes you wonder how many are being paid in Baltimore? How many more will be paid in the future?” The Right Scoop asked.
Protesters directed much of their anger against MORE director Jeff Ordower, former Missouri head of ACORN and ACORN’s Midwest operations, FrontPage Mag reports.
“The unpaid rent-a-mob operatives complain that MORE stiffed them the same way ACORN did to hired protesters throughout its 40 years of radical left-wing rabble-rousing,” FrontPage Mag reports.

Urgent: Rate Obama on His Job Performance. Vote Here Now!
Hahahaaahhaaa….. The same dummies that jumped at the chance to cause rioting and destruction and are now crying that “dey want dey money” are the same people fooled into voting for Obama, and the same group was behind that bull too… ACORN. I don’t feel sorry for the losers, just sorry that these corrupt groups and thugs are allowed to get away with this destruction of America.
Soros should be hung for funding insurrection along with all the other anti American protesters. WTF is wrong with these people. Perhaps those 40 cal hollow points that the government purchased has a purpose after all

they die in strange accidents .. or stories like this get printed and than spoofed by the government as conspiracy
one thing you can bank on is the greedy nature of scum
In the end, the bad guys turn on the other bad guys. It is the same theme in Mafia movies and reflects real-life. This proves how DUMB these people really are to TRUST that their handlers would discard them, once they had used them to do their dirty deeds, dined on their carcasses, and thrown the scraps to the dogs parked under the table.
Gee I can’t wait until the criminal psychopathic elites start eating each other. It’s all, always all, about the money (until there is no more money)
CORRECTION: In the end, the bad guys turn on the other bad guys. It is the same theme in Mafia movies and reflects real-life. This proves how DUMB these people really are to TRUST handlers who would discard them once they had used them to do their dirty deeds, dined on their carcasses, and had thrown the scraps to the media dogs parked under the table.
What scares me worse than this happening is the way commenters on MSM seem to think it’s no big deal.

Gee, if you can’t trust the commies-in-charge, who the hell CAN you trust these days.
That said… BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! RLMAO!!!!!
