A significant proportion of the "protesters" you see on a regular basis do it professionally.
And by that, I am not referring to their behavior, which is usually awful, but literally--they do it as a profession.
My colleague, once removed, Matt Vespa, pointed us to a case in point--the inorganic and distasteful protest outside the Annunciation Catholic Church on the occasion of Vice President J.D. Vance's private visit with the community after the horrible mass shooting by a transgender activist last week.
I literally filmed the guy with the bullhorn like 50 different times during the Dobbs protests outside the justices homes. He was also in DC the night of the 2024 election. Either he’s got a butt load of free time and money or he’s getting shuttled around.

First of all--YUCK! Is nothing sacred? (Hint: to the left, the only things sacred is degenerate sex and murdering the babies, which may result). Protesting at a memorial service is disgusting, reminiscent of the Westboro Baptist Church's protests outside funerals. Let people grieve in peace!
Some people will do anything, no matter how depraved. Especially if it is their job. Streetwalkers do it, and professional protesters are in that category. Only lower.
The man leading the protest apparently does this for a living and has been filmed doing his antics at protests in Washington, D.C.
He told me at the time he worked for the DC Mayor’s office and then called me fat lol https://t.co/pLaJnG4SLH

I have no idea whether the guy also works at the D.C. Mayor's office or not. But he sure seems to have the time and money to appear half a country away to harass Vice President Vance at a memorial service.
Leftist protestors flying a TRANS FLAG hurl insults at JD Vance and Usha Vance during their visit to Annunciation Church in Minneapolis.

Reminder: The church shooter was TRANSGENDER
These people are disgusting.pic.twitter.com/NPuZQgsW1C
And he danced as he did so. Yuck.
I have no idea if this guy is part of the rent-a-crowd troops, but I do know that there is a burgeoning industry to provide protesters on demand. The idea is to ensure a minimum number to ensure that the group appears significant, and to draw in the unstable people who gravitate to crowds and get emotionally invested.
Some protests you see have a decent number of ordinary people passionate about an issue, but most are totally inorganic.
It's what we in the biz call "grasstops" activism, as opposed to grassroots. The idea is to create the appearance of a groundswell without having to rely on people actually caring or agreeing with you.
So what were they protesting?

We hear so often about how the left is all about love and compassion, but the reality is that their ground troops are a disgusting lot. The victims of the shooting are, in many cases, still hospitalized, yet the left sends degenerates to dance in front of the church to make a political point.
UPDATE ON SOPHIA FORCHAS, AGE 12

Sophia is still in very critical condition following the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church.
Doctors had to remove one side of her skull due to swelling. If the swelling doesn’t go down, they may need to remove the other side as well.… pic.twitter.com/9Wuv1Xx07K
Shame on them.
