What type of stick material is best if one wanted to emulate the based one?

Off the top of my head, I was thinking a fiberglass fishing rod blank intended for offshore rods.  Something light and strong that would pack a good punch but is unlikely to cause major damage to an attacker.

Any thoughts?

On a similar thought, what common material would make a good shield?  Maybe plexiglass?

If you're gonna do it, do it right. Rebar with a spider joint welded to it.

Sorry.  I was illuding to based stickman.  If you planned to go to a pro-America demonstration and knew the anti folks would be in attack mode, what type of stick would you want?

cut to 4' to 5' length

Light enough to swing fast, strong enough not to break

That looks great.  Cheap, easy, and effective.

I'd go with those metal fence posts with the T-cross section and the bumps on them:  they're called studded T-posts.

You plan on taking a weapon to a demonstration where you expect things to escalate, and that weapon is a stick?

Its better to keep it at non-lethal overt weapons pepper spray or sticks than convert lethal weapons like knives or a SW 642.

I like this a lot.

I also like the Cold Steel sjambok that was suggested, but I'd be hesitant to use something that is marked as a weapon.  It makes the "it was just my sign / flag pole" excuse not useable.

Good point on the "oops, my sign fell apart" excuse. A decent piece of fiberglass rod should do nicely, and if the end splinters it would suck even worse to get hit with since fiberglass splinters are a bitch to get out

What the lefties do is use a long piece of 1" dowel, and drill a hole in one end. Then you screw the biggest, heaviest lag bolt you can find into the hole. That adds a lot of weight on the end, and it looks like just a normal, boring stick.

A long ax or sledge handle without the head or bit on it

Tape the sign to it and then when skull cracking time comes the sign will fall off.

Fuck the non lethal bullshit, the leftist want blood give them as much as their and their friends blood as they can handle

All without using knives or guns

With the right shaped steel "sign" on the end, it would be pretty damn effective.  I'm thinking Halberd or similar shaped sign.  

To respond to the original question about shield material, 1/4 to 3/8" thick polycarbonate would be my choice.  I'd also show my "support" for the working man by wearing a polycarbonate face shield attached to a hard hat.
