A mob shows up at a representative's home/office/whatever with good old fashioned torches and pitchforks.

a million or two show up at 16XX PA Ave with them.

Do you think the pols would get the point?

Sounds cool, but how do I explain the torch and pitchfork to the TSA at the airport?

Pretty sure that would not end well.  Even if the assembly was peaceful.

Since when do you have to explain checked baggage?
I have friends with horse manure for a old timey lock jaw capable tactical pitchfork.  Grandpa told my Dad pitchforks have killed more people than guns when he was a kid and left a fork laying on the ground with the tines pointed upward.  Tines always should curve so they point into the dirt if you lay a fork down on the ground for any reason.

A.D.D. moment:  Can you get Government subsidy for "Solar Powered" torch?

Look for full length, tight grain that is perpendicular to the line of pitchfork tines.
Makes for a much stronger fork for cleaning out deep manure in steer pens.  

When I worked with stock I would have paid double for a handle made like the laminated Ruger Stocks.

How about effigy heads on pikes instead?

 

It better not be a pike with a metal spike or blade on the end.

If it was Bush mask you'd be OK but if Obama mask I bet you wouldn't get away with it like the Bush/war haters did.

That's a hayfork.  Obviously you need a 5 tine shitfork for this job.

Picth forks are so yesterday.  Why do we even buy or own guns?

Torches only work in Hollyweird

IRL, they last about 5 minutes

One of the guys at the Olympia, WA rally yesterday really did have a pitchfork. I didn't see any torches, though.

ETA: It did not seem to have any tactical attachments.

Which is probably why Icelanders used road flares.

I also imagine it is fairly problematic to arrest somebody holding a lit flare that is going to continue burning for several minutes and is not easily extinguished..
