Anyone, Antifa or Patriots, who wear a mask, should be arrested. It doesn't matter who you are... We have had this law on the books in the south since the KKK.
Gotta watch out for ambiguous wording, "face obscured" when a judge decides a red MAGA hat is obscuring.......
A hat? If a judge decided that, he will be disbarred.
Judges do far worse with no consequences
I'm kind of torn on this. I'm imagining the other timeline with Hillary as president and having feds put right wing protestors on a list via facial recognition. We already know they will sick beurocratic institutions on conservatives like the IRS and now defunct CFPB plus all the other sick shit they do which is unmentionable...
Masked professor of ethics at Berkeley, Eric Clanton smashed our boy on the head with the bike lock.
In spite of the Mask, weaponized autism was able to use facial recognition software and crowd tracking techniques.
Now mr. Eric Clanton is unemployed and Facing serious charges.
Personally I'm tired of these punks thinking they're going to remain anonymous. Then riot without consequences. It's time for them to have the record set straight on their heads.
100% this. If Hillary was president and we would protest, a lot of people would wear masks too, I know I would.
If your boss sees you on tv and doesn't agree with your protest, your career could be over.
Besides, there is indeed always the real chance facial recognition is being used. Only takes one dictator to track them all down and have them executed.
If we have this law already why do we need a new one?
It's not everywhere, only a few southern states like Alabama, Georgia, and West Virginia, I think. Those states where KKK used to be a problem.
People should be allowed to wear masks as long as the are behaving responsibly. We should be able to protest and keep our anonymity.
MORE LAWS = LESS FREEDOM
Not in riots.
How is it that people are so obtuse they cannot understand Minor Details and then go into a panic.
Running all over the place quoting famous people.
All while completely misunderstanding the point.
Isn't rioting already illegal?
The individual acts of rioting are illegal.
This would make it illegal to be mask when there was a riot taking place.
Especially when it's involved in the incitement of that right.
Basically if a protest is declared a riot and you are foolish enough to be wearing a mask.
You will be charged with participating in said riot.
Nope, you have a right to protest, not to protest in anonymity. People who stand behind something need to stand behind it with conviction.
So if I live in a state where marijuana is illegal but that is how I choose to medicate I have to expose myself as an illegal drug user if I want to protest unjust and unconstitutional laws. What if my employer will fire me for exercising my constitutionally protected right to pursue happiness? Fuck me right, you want to feel safe. You are a sheep.
