To Protect and to Serve II

That’s my point
Where’s the line. You think masks shouldn’t bother anyone. I think they do. You say privacy is more important than safety. I think safety (ability to identify your attacker) is more important that your right to misbehave in a mask. To me if it’s important enough to protest then it shouldn’t have to hide. I’d argue the mask degrades the point you’re trying to make.

You're asking where is the line on freedom, I'll flip that on you and ask where is the line on safety? We'd all be a lot safer if we made the speed limit 10 MPH, but that's no way to live.

The mask doesn't harm you. Criminals harm you. Punish crimes, don't make victimless acts into crimes.

Some think nudity shouldn’t bother anyone I think it does. So who gets to decide?

Lawmakers. That’s why we elected them

Who cares who gets to decide? What does this have to do with anything? I'm trying to argue the merits of the law and you're acting like the fact that it is a law is what gives it merit.

What if you are protesting Scientologists, teamsters, or the KKK....groups that have a history of hurting people that oppose them?

Why don't you care about the safety of protesters?

Arguing the merits based on what?

You think freedom means you can wear a mask in public and if you can’t you’re not free.
I disagree.
I think masks encourage violence and don’t have an alternative use that makes them more valuable than the harm they cause.


Your point seems obvious to you and my point seems obvious to me.
So my point becomes who decides in your mind?

Because at this point you and I have added nothing to this debate beyond “nut uh!!!” And “uh hu!!!”

Which are very complicated and compelling arguments.

I’d be ok with allowing mask with a 25yr addition to the sentence of anyone committing a crime while masked.

They make a choice to face there “enemies” they are not required to protest.

You have a right to protest. You have the right to press charges if the other side assaults you.

Irrelevant.

What if they put a bomb in your mailbox two weeks later? Or they steal your identity? Hire a private eye to dig up dirt on you? Then what?

That’s so ****ing stupid.
If they’re that committed to revenge your little mask won’t save you.

What if they follow you after the protest wait till you take off the mask then put a bomb in your mailbox two weeks later? Or they steal your identity? Hire a private eye to dig up dirt on you?

"If the authorities are committed to catching violent protesters, their little masks won't save them."

Talk about ****ing stupid, you're saying that because there isn't 100% protection, it's OK to make it as easy as possible for bad organizations to find and intimidate protesters.

You've been flailing about all over this post with inadequate, inaccurate, circular arguments. To summarize your position
1) an unsubstantiated claim that masks are evil and responsible for violence.
2) The above is supported by the fact that there are laws against wearing masks in public, which means masks are evil.
3) A Georgia state law enacted in 1951 (10 years after the 2nd iteration of the kkk had pretty much fallen apart mind you) was responsible for bringing down the kkk.

I don’t assume the organization being protested are ganstar. They’re not wearing a mask.

Intimidating is what the guys in the masks are attempting to do.
