The irrepressible Marietta activist who staunchly opposes illegal immigration revealed that he's been hiring ringers to support his cause at a rally staged outside the state Capitol. In what has become an all-too-common practice, King admits he paid homeless people who regularly congregate downtown to hold up placards and look generally disgruntled for the assembled media. The 14 protesters-for-hire earned $10 apiece for their services at Monday's rally.
