Torches and Pitchforks Parade "rules"

Torches.

Obviously a bunch of flaming torches dripping fire all over
the place would be cool on some level;
but would reasonably justify the intervention of
the APS Praetorian Guard.

So lets not go there.

Pitchforks are problematic for similar and obvious reasons.

How about Torches = Flashlights?

and when your representative on the board of education
has the opportunity to speak out against the corruption
and incompetence in the leadership of the APS

you could simply raise your hand and turn on your torch.


footnote; I will do what I can to determine if the APS
Praetorian Guards will want to inspect your "torch"
as you enter the public meeting.

They might want to argue that a 24" long maglite link
is overkill. It would be interesting point to clear up
during litigation; but why complicate things?

Same thing with anything approaching the million candle
range. No point in starting any inadvertent fires,
damaging paint; or scorching innocents.

They arrested me for wearing a paper mask.

No point in pressing that point.

One of my students once asked me if I was alive
when there were hippies.

What are you going to tell the children when they ask what
you were doing when everyone else was at the
torches and pitchforks parade?

Grab a (street legal) flashlight

and come storm the Uptown Administrative Complex.

Bring a friend. Bring a lot of friends.

It is kind of important that this done
before they give Linda Sink a multi year contract;

as the new Grand Oom pa of the APS good ol' boys club.
