VIDEO: Rent a Rioter, Inc.







As Saul Alinsky wrote, “Never let a good crisis go to waste!”

Rioters for hire is a booming business. Just ask Adam Swart, founder of Crowds on Demand.
If you want to tear down a Confederate statue you can rent rioters to help you pull it down. If you need a white, black or gender supremacist, just call and they will be provided in droves. Are you out of a job and want to earn $25 or more an hour, plus expenses, no problem. Need a flash mob? BTW, peaceful protests are “optional.”
Creating jobs for unemployed haters is chic. Bring your own red spray paint for riot specific graffiti, black mask, rocks, Molotov cocktails, baseball bat or car and get on board a train, bus or plane to get to the riot, all expenses paid. Great summer job for college students from UC Berkeley or University of Virginia in Chancellorsville?
Ever heard of the company Crowds on Demand?
Trump ignited a political firestorm yesterday during an impromptu press conference in which he said there was “blame on both sides” for the tragic events that occurred in Charlottesville over the weekend.
Now, the discovery of a craigslist ad posted last Monday, almost a full week before the Charlottesville protests, is raising new questions over whether paid protesters were sourced by a Los Angeles based “public relations firm specializing in innovative events” to serve as agitators in counterprotests.
The ad was posted by a company called “Crowds on Demand” and offered $25 per hour to “actors and photographers” to participate in events in the “Charlotte, NC area.”  While the ad didn’t explicitly define a role to be filled by its crowd of “actors and photographers” it did ask applicants to comment on whether they were “ok with participating in peaceful protests.”  Here is the text from the ad:
Actors and Photographers Wanted in Charlotte

Our events include everything from rallies to protests to corporate PR stunts to celebrity scenes. The biggest qualification is enthusiasm, a “can-do” spirit. Pay will vary by event but typically is $25+ per hour plus reimbursements for gas/parking/Uber/public transit.
