If you’re not familiar with DeRay Mckesson through his tweets, you can learn just about all you’d ever want to know about the celebrity #BlackLivesMatter protester from a fawning profile in the New York Times Magazine practically dripping with the slobber of writer Jay Caspian Kang, which notes that America has “come to learn the names of the victims — Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Tony Robinson, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray — because the activists have linked their fates together in our minds, despite their separation by many weeks and thousands of miles.”
As we said, you’ll learn just about all you’d want to know, aside from how it is that so many familiar faces manage to show up at every protest, despite their separation by many weeks and thousands of miles. Monday night’s protest in McKinney, Texas, which inspired threats of terrorism despite no shots being fired and no one being killed, was a family reunion of sorts.
I've seen so many people here in McKinney who I've seen march in Ferguson. And Baltimore. And Milwaukee. And DC.

@deray Funny how that works out #astroturf

@deray Thanks for confirming the movement is full of paid leftwing hacks who protest for a living. George Soros has a big wallet.

@mrgeology And why shouldn't they? They are getting paid handsomely for each racial hoax and riot.

Idk who is paying them, but they are definitely traveling from town to town agitating without regard for the truth: https://t.co/ZkIGr1nxP2

@deray it's interesting that you think that's a good thing. Professional protesters. Congratulations. What are you even protesting?

@jonhiggins13 the cop was punished and will likely be fired, as he should. So, what response are you looking for that you're not getting?
