      For real. I wish it were these people killing themselves with their stupidity, not others…

      This is evidence that reading headlines from articles posted by u/return2ozma actually make you less informed and not more.
      48 upvotes for claiming the mask ban was ignorant, when it was for protestors, and had nothing to do with Covid.

      Warning dear sir, never assume a fair headline from an article posted by u/return2ozma.

        A mask ban for protesters would also limit our ability to stop a pandemic spreading. Mask bans are a bad idea (especially with creepy af facial recognition around).

      The considered ban on masks was for protesters.

      The idea of not allowing anonymity for protesters has its origins in combating racial violence and the KKK. Klan members suddenly lost a lot of their motivation to assemble in public, once they had to show their faces, those that did were less likely to commit illegal acts and the ones that did break the law were more likely to face legal reprocutions.

      The contemplated ban on masks for protesters in Los Angeles was considered following increased violence by masked protesters and was not motivated by covid denial.
