No, they LITERALLY are a paid protestor. Protesting is a volunteer, out-of-pocket activity. If two people have the same expenses and one gets money and the other doesn't, you can call it whatever you want but one got paid and one didn't.
Agreed $5000 is ridiculous and completely lacking of common sense. You don't need to pay anyone $5000 a month when you can easily round-up a couple dozen "volunteers" for like $10 each. But dangle a few hundred in front of someone and you draw just the sort of activist you want at your protest, like the obnoxious white hipster who appears angry over not being born black (LOL, they are always the worst having to be up front and testing the limits as if they're afraid they won't stand out from the crowd...gotta make sure you get on the news so you can link your Facebook so everyone knows what a good person you are
).
