I have heard rumor after rumor that people were being "paid to protest" and I was pretty skeptical of going along with it as truth. But this story pretty much seals the deal that it does in fact happen. The limiter is the leftist fellow (Vinay Krishnan) claims the payments were only to pay the fines associated with being arrested. We really have no way to verify what they were paid. That said, and I doubt it is true that they only got bail bond money. This expose shows leftist protesters with an advantage the normal person doesn't get (w/ a get out of jail free card).
I am bookmarking this thread, it is solid proof that paying leftist protesters does occur. Proof that needed shown to finally put the question of it actually occurring in the light for all to see.
