Professional Protesters


i'm sure most countries pay people to protest for them, rent a crowd that sort of thing. But sometimes its just a little too blatant. Jakarta appears to have a crowd of professional protesters that for a small some of money can just turn on the indignant rage, regardless of what they are 'protesting' about.

A good book that has some pics of this is called Jakarta Inside out (they have made one for bangkok now also)

In it this one guy has been photographed 3 times for 3 different protests for different sides, he was even wearing the same shirt.

So imagine my surprise this morning when i'm reading BBC and see the same man's face again!
