What you have here is a misrepresentation of what that particular organization did even if they were involved in Ferguson, which is quite possible, but that rag reporting source is trying to do something so much worse that what ACorn could ever try to do. The organization may have hired people to come in to be back up support on the protest lines, not rioters who looted and tore the town apart, that's just the same kind of spewing and inciting that they accused certain others of doing to get people up in arms.
ACORN, it an empowerment organization, their purpose good or bad, depending upon or which end you stand on is to help people who are often not able to get their voice heard or who are often abused by the system, to have a voice to make change for the betterment of the downtrodden. Well at least that's how they see themselves and as I understand so far. People are often brought in from all over to do sit-ins to assist in protest, some paid, political parties do it all the time, nothing new to see here. Now those doing crimes in the process, that's a whole different story. That rag newsource is guilty of a crime by trying to group the criminals with the people who were just doing the protesting as to incite the general public to keep this whole thing of everyone being at opposite sides and condemning all the people of Ferguson and anyone who may want to help them make change for the better. .
