I’m kinda afraid. Never started a ‘pit’ thread before. I’m jumping in the deep end when I’ve previously only waded in the MPSIMS and Threadgames. (Don’t bite me too hard, you lot of sharks! :)) I wanna rant and scream about Police brutality and killing of African American people particularly!! I want to ‘virtually’ take to the streets. (Since I can’t physically do it.) I want to be on Pennsylvania Ave. in front of the Whitehouse carrying a sign, dodging rubber bullets. My sign would read: **"Trump, this America ain’t so great!"** I know, I know. It’s a weak pit thread. No F-bombs or rants about trolls. So…help me out, folks. What city would you be in, on the streets? What would your sign read? Would you wear a mask? Would you get involved with looting and burning? Bad, bad, bad! (that would be a good sign) ---

There are many threads already in progress on this topic. Post in those. In my opinion, the Q & A crap belongs somewhere else. I say, take it back to the Mundane Pointless Shit You Must Share forum. I wish the mods would just omnibus your threads. ---

Yeah. I need my own forum. That’s it. Go big or go home. (I’m regretting this thread, already) ---

**Saucywench** , you seem a little snappish. What would your protest sign say? Blow off some of that steam. You’ll feel better. (I don’t want a blog, not even sure what that is, sorry you have to endure my presence on this board. But, I ain’t leaving) ---

What would my protest sign say? I’m thinking it might be a good idea to have my hands free wherever I am, so I’ll go with a t-shirt that says… Help us, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re our only hope. With that I’ll get off the computer for a while, get out of my house, and go visit some of my locked-down family members. Have fun in your thread/threads.
