They are cowards.True!
Makes you wonder why people cover up like they do
Enforce the law and unmask everyone, regardless of any group or side your on
What anti-mask laws are you referring to?The question I have is why aren’t the anti-mask laws being enforced?
Don’t care which side of coin your on
But they in place to stop protesters, violence etc, including the kkk, correct?
Do you feel they should be enforced evenly across the board?
Is this what you're talking about? I don't think the intent was to unmask the Klan.The ones that were established to unmask the kkk
Itch, was there a specific event that sparked your interest in this topic? I've seen nothing on the news in the past month or so with protesters wearing masks. Some context would be helpful.Specifically, no
But why would they lose the full hood?
I think it was written pretty good, it’s all inclusive
I was just asking mainly due to the antifa stuff a few years ago, or the damaging of statues, property etcWearing a mask while protesting is not illegal in my state, and I am appreciative of that being the case. I see clothing through the lens of freedom of expression and personal sovereignty. I do not believe that the government should be restricting the people's right to wear whatever clothing they choose to wear, from a burqa to nothing at all.
I also think that the justification for wearing a mask to conceal identity while protesting is apparent: protests are typically undertaken by a disempowered and/or oppressed minority against an empowered and/or oppressive state or majority. The latter typically poses a real and present threat to the former that concealment mitigates.
The most recent examples are from the Patriot Front protesting in Central Florida waving Swastika flags on bridge overpasses. Tough guys who fully cover up their face.I was just asking mainly due to the antifa stuff a few years ago, or the damaging of statues, property etc
It made me curious watching the Palestinian protests and if not violent, trespassing or vandalizing property I guess I could see your point
History shows that masks were worn to conceal one’s face it was to rob a train, or bank.
I guess I would ask if the klan wore full hoods, had a permit and had a peaceful protest would that be acceptable?
Look not trying to be an ass here , just trying to juggle this
I thought politics was verboten on here. When did that change?I thought more recent examples might be protestors who torched Tesla dealerships or even those who took over the lobby of Trump Tower last week.
Am I mistaken?
Were they masked? Last I saw, they didn't know who set the fires at the Tesla warehouse.I thought more recent examples might be protestors who torched Tesla dealerships or even those who took over the lobby of Trump Tower last week.

Thank you. I agree.Nothing has changed; everyone here has done a very nice job of leaving politics out of the conversation.

I used to see that on news reports and I thought it was a good idea borne of necessity.For the record, the Japanese made a habit of wearing masks after WW2. There were a lot of toxins in the air. One might recall a couple of bombs.
The older people always wore masks on the train and in heavily populated areas.
If you haven’t ever ridden a train in Japan, it’s wall to wall people.
