      Better that than to hurt the feelings of someone who cares a whole lot about people wearing masks.

        From reading the article, I get the impression that this bill is mostly about them wanting to be able to arrest protesters who wear masks to hide their identity.

        Which is still really shitty, to be clear.

    “For health reasons” - if that’s what they choose to enforce, well then… looks like every day just became Halloween.

    “No officer, Im not wearing this Ronald Reagan mask for my health, I’m celebrating Halloween” “Yes, officer, in May”.

    This would be a clear violation of ones first amendment right. Say it’s your religion.

      The courts have already set the precedent that there are preferred religions and religions that do not enjoy the same rights because the judges don’t believe in them. Our legal system is corrupt and unjust. We cannot count on the courts to protect our rights.
