These "people" are generally called mercenaries.
They have been doing this for decades. It is just more obvious now.
I knew they were bought and paid for. I just never imagined there was like a legit tax paying company that you could just call up on the phone and order up some protesters. I wonder what the pay scale looks like? Are there different levels of violence you can order? Do you gotta provide the signage or is that included? What about bail money? Is that like extra?
Oh, the systems are inter-linked.
There are a group of "lawyers" that volunteer free services to get these people out. There are groups that pay for their bail, legal fees, etc (Harris actually pushed one of them).
I don't know what the pay looks like but it is probably cheep. These are "useful idiots". Have you ever wondered why so many "protest" signs look so mass-produced?
I could go on but you probably get the point.
