Tikis as stated are usually planted in the ground.

It's like a movie where the towns folk head off for mayhem with "pitchforks and torches", except it echoes real life experienced by a certain amount of Black people, possibly Jews in the (not so distant) past. Perhaps still, sporadically with that bag' o' sewage (drumphf) giving "permission" to the racists to act more openly again. Hideous!
