#Ferguson Protesters Protest Not Getting Their Checks For Protesting…
On May 14, protesters, upset with not being paid their promised checks for protesting, protested outside MORE, Missourians Organizing For Reform and Empowerment, an ACORN organization which had received funding through George Soros to fund the protests.
They even started a hashtag, #cutthechecks, to demand their money:
Some folks had apparently been paid like Deray McKesson, and others hadn’t, causing further discord.
This protester indicates those who protested for more money were paid $2700 to stop making a fuss, but it would then impact the ability to protest over the summer in #Ferguson:

The disturbing part of it all is the shamelessness... Like when Unions don't pay a living wage to protesters fighting picketing for a living wage.

I assume he's talking about the people bitching about not getting paid for protesting.

Hate to say it, but he's the only one with an ounce of sense.
Don't agree with him, of course, but he knows the games being played and he gets the "rules". What side that bread is buttered on.
Much bigger payout at the end, if things had gone "right", I'd suspect. The
Occupy Stupid St people just got greedy. Or hungry, maybe. Or, more likely, the trustfund dried up and they needed a new battery for the macbook...

I was being facetious. I have a black co-worker that will always laugh with me at how white people are treated when they say "you people" as in somehow that has become a racial thing. If I say "you people" I figure I'm generally talking about a group of people. But if I said "you people" in reference to a group of black people the response I've received is "what do you mean by 'you people'" as if I am calling them something racial.

Well, the protesters did want to get paid. They can't hang around waiting for Al and Jesse to arrive and take up all the protesting funds now can they?
