Bring Back the Charivari!!!!

In the Canada of old, men and women of the lower classes formed groups and, donned in costumes, would take it upon themselves to represent the ideals of the majority.  They would seek out those who were corrupt and immoral (regardless of class) and create spectacles to humiliate and intimidate those targeted. They would be relentless in their heckling and rabble-rousing until there was an admittance of guilt and a monetary fine was paid to a charity benefiting the working class. Protests are still in existence as we well know, but the amount of corruption and general immorality within our North American borders greatly outnumber the few we hear about. We complacently believe that the centralized control over our police force is strictly for our benefit. Then why is it that the police tend to work against us, beat us down, tear gas us, pepper spray us, arrest us, and mute our voices when we have a sincere claim against crimes and legislation that hurt our communities. We must bring back the Charivari!!!! We must bring back the ability to have our community voices heard!!! We must find a way to stop the corruption and immoral choices of those who hurt our communities!!!  We must take action into our own hands!!!

If anyone has any good ideas, please share...
