IMPD officers: Anti-Trump rally set for Saturday evening

[ArcadiaGP]

As I've said, just because they're paid doesn't mean they're unsympathetic to Soros' cause.

Not all paid. Some just dislike Trump. Including the people I know at the protest, I saw plenty of grassroots efforts to get more people involved on Reddit.

Was it cold out there?

And this is taken completely as fact, without a shred of skepticism? I mean, how hard would it be to offer up $5000 to one of those that participated, and have them draw out how the whole operation works. It's a fairly low price, for the boon of such politically damning information.

Once I get caught up with a couple projects I have going I would almost be willing to get 'hired' to protest. I would do a nice little AAR when I got back.

Somebody find me the ad and I will be the moll. But in all fairness I want it to be somewhere relatively close and not anti-gun. I will donate the new found profit to a worthy charity.

So they just take what the person that's being booked tells them?

That's my understanding. Realistically, how would you verify it? If you get out of jail on bond, miss your court date because the information goes to a wrong address, that's on you. If you're homeless, that'll hurt your bond review...but there's no address. It's not to LE's benefit for you to give correct info, I have other and better ways to find you. It's to your benefit so you can get your court dates, etc.

 

[Cameramonkey]

That's what I'm saying. There's such massive numbers involved, where's the concrete info on this pay to protest stuff. Not so fringe off kilter tin-foil source, but something reasonable.

You mean like the Washington Times?

And as you saw here over the weekend, They dont pay everyone. They just need to seed the crowd and hope those paid to do so can amp them up and agitate them into a frenzy so they follow your lead. You dont need to pay all thousand(s) protestors. You just need a supervisor/lead to coax the rest of them into doing what you want them to do. Luckily for us "hoosier hospitality" is deeply ingrained and our local protesters arent easy to push over the edge to riot like other cities.

Smart social networking combined with a handful of paid rioters will bring in hordes of gullible losers already looking for any excuse to "protest."

Why do you think those loons were chanting "black lives matter", occupy's "this is how democracy..." and other BS unrelated to anti-President Trump?

Abdul interviewed a handful of these clueless protesters. WIBC has been playing short clips of his interviews promoting his 6:00 radio show this evening.

 

[jbombelli]

Someone explain the logic of paid protesters. I admittedly, find it difficult to believe.

You'd have to ask the guys doing the paying. But I know it's happening - I've seen the Craig's List ads.

The local paper say otherwise.

It would appear, all the expenses are related to the functions of the protests themselves, and not simply a payout for personal gain. That makes sense to me, because the math simply doesn't add up.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Impressive that he hasn't even taken office yet and Trump's already creating jobs -- mostly for those that disagree with him the most.

You've been had BZ.

This is getting to be like CNN. Anything pro left has to be true. Anything pro right has to be false.

I think I've got to agree with Kut on this one. That article (and especially the stuff allegedly from the snopes guy) reads more like something from The Onion. I don't doubt that there are paid protesters and I have stated the reasons elsewhere, but this article doesn't pass the sniff test I don't think.

Thats why sitting in the middle is so depressing. You tend to believe both sides are pure scum.

If if we could just stop the bull**** rhetoric for a little nit and see what actually happens before we jump to the conclusions that it's the end of the world or the beginning o paradise on earth that would be great.

Sorry. I didn't read this one. There have been others but perusing the site on my phone makes it a bit harder.

I agree that's the case a lot of the time, but I think this article is out there. If it were pro-right, why would they supposedly quote a Trump supporter as saying, “I knew those weren’t real protesters, they were too organized and smart,” said 59-year-old Tom Downey, a Trump supporter who attended the rally in Fountain Hills. “I knew there was something up when they started shouting all these facts and nonsense like that. The best we could do was just yell and punch em’ and stuff.”

That sound more like they are making fun of Trump supporters than exposing paid protesting.

No worries. There is plenty of wheat out there, but this one appears to be chaff.

We'll need a greasy little dip**** to pull it off. Any ideas?
