Well, this is an interesting turn of events.
Who could forget these scenes from last summer in little Ferguson, Missouri, when rioting erupted after the shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson?
Ferguson is quiet now, although there are some very disgruntled activists who participated in those protests. It appears that they haven’t been paid, and they are quite angry.
Paid? Why, wasn’t this a spontaneous protest on the part of angry residents?
If you believe that, let me interest you in a bridge. . .
It appears that the activist group Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), formerly known as the St. Louis chapter of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN — yes, that ACORN), had been paying protesters $5000 per month to protest in Ferguson. MORE apparently has stiffed the rent-a-mob participants, leading them to protest once again — only this time outside the St. Louis office of MORE.
Angry protestors took to Twitter to vent their frustration using the hashtag #CutTheCheck.
Lots of folks doing work & acting on conscience. It is not fair that a group of 20 get $50,000 for throwing a tantrum. #Cutthecheck

Guess who was one of the financiers behind the funding of the Ferguson protests.
It was this guy.
Yes, radical leftist billionaire George Soros gave some $33 million last year to established activist groups that helped to further fuel the Ferguson unrest over several days.
MORE also set up an Amazon wedding registry — yes, you read correctly, a wedding registry — called “OBS & MORE Jail Support and STL Legal Collective’s Wedding Registry” for the happy’event’ later this summer:
Shameless.
But while these paid rent-a-mob members are complaining about not getting their money from the likes of puppet-master George Soros and MORE, police officer Darren Wilson’s life has been changed forever. And I don’t see the reviled-by-the-Left Koch Brothers paying protestors to riot on his behalf.
I presume under IRS law these paid rent a mobs are considered private contractors and will be paying all necessary SSI, Medicare, State, Federal taxes etc.

And one would think that since that is earned income, their welfare benefits would be correctly adjusted
GWB says: LOL! Wouldn’t that be rich?
What I think would make the irony so thick you could cut it and serve it with strawberries would be if the upset folks looted the MORE offices, then burned them down.
Oh GWB, what a wonderful idea!!
Actually, we knew from the start that outsiders were brought in, probably paid…the LIBERUS HYPOCRITUSES are just soooooooo evil.
GWB says: Yes, we did. We just didn’t know that some of them were being PAID for their efforts. Well, beyond the booty-only method that some adopted.
(If they looted AND were paid, were they double-dipping?)
S. Temper says: Can Soros be prosecuted for inciting a riot?
Kim Quade says: We wish!
