‘Unmasking Antifa Act' includes 15-year prison term proposal

I only read the first page, but I've been saying this to my wife since this started. Like "How are they allowed to wear masks!? Nobody is allowed to wear masks aside from kids at Halloween and people at a NYE party!" Shit has been illegal almost everywhere for a long time, due to both the klan and common sense. You don't let fucks walk around with masks on and certainly not in groups. Not in a civil society.

And as far as I know, it's already illegal. The masks part.

You live in Cincinnati.

You can't think of any reason to wear a mask?

Like, you know, winter.......
 
We should if it makes it 10x more difficult to catch someone because of it.

Video footage is the #1 tool we have to be able to catch criminals. If extra sentencing could dissuade someone from committing a crime because they will get a harsher sentence, or make them worried enough to not go masked, then it is worth it and it hurts no one who doesn't break the law.

Committing a crime while wearing a mask is as premeditated as it gets.

why do you think these people are wearing masks?

Well there is the possibility that they have to periodically to do plain clothes or undercover assignments, so concealing their identities is a bit of a necessity.

Winter would be acceptable to any reasonable person. A ski mask when it's above freezing? Not so much.
 
"Canada. After several high-profile protests, the Canadian Parliament introduced Bill C-309, which bans the wearing of masks during a riot or other unlawful assembly. The bill became law on June 19, 2013. Those convicted of it face up to 10 years in prison"
Directly in response to the G20summit. Too bad it wasn't already in place.
 
Do you have any problem with flippantly and erroneously using the word "fascist" to just reflect "things that I don't like or think are mean"?

With the right-wings illiterate (or rather, I would proffer, careless) misuse of terms like fascist, communist, capitalism, free speech, socialist, due process, and liberal -- all of which have definable meanings -- it becomes impossible to produce agreed-upon terms for discussion and discourse breaks down over time.

Don't both the far right and far left misuse terms. Fascist is certainly misused, communist as well. Frequently mercantilism is confused with capitalism. It also seems yesterdays liberalism and conservatism is not a perfect match for todays.
 
A ski mask in freezing weather when you're screaming at and intimidating people... now we're working out the kinks
I would immediately go and stock up on water balloons and commence to lay siege to their position. Nothing like cold soaked clothing in freezing weather.
 
"Why should drunk driving be against the law, there's already laws against driving over people"

While you are being an ass and it will be an unpopular opinion I actually agree.

DUI isnt about safety its a mega business for the state

Going to have to disagree. Driving drunk creates unnecessary risk, and it is in the interest of the public to reduce that risk.

What I think is odd is that drunk drivers can get lower sentences of hurting someone while intoxicated. They should simply face two charges, one for driving drunk and the other for running over a person.

Protests aren't unlawful, so masks should be OK.

Toronto police were heavily criticized for doing a terrible job at the G20. They employed illegal and immoral tactics, committed acts of violence against peaceful protestors, broke rules of conduct, unlawful detention, and many other offenses.

I saw it all firsthand. Disgusting use of force and only a few cops laid the price.

They were wearing masks and took of their ID badges to avoid identification, but a few were still busted.

An embarrassing display of our horrible police in Ontario.

im not a super huge fan of speculative crime , I think the argument it creates risk can be used for anything (like guns)

Im all for throwing the book at someone if you fuck up but I think the point 08 limit is so low it busts women after a glass of wine and it turns police into highwaymen and its about that huge fine

Like i said Im aware it isnt a popular opinion but I am willing to stand by it

Yeah. All those peaceful protests...
Not even the slightest amount of dishonesty there.
 
Don't want to see cops or other LEOs wearing masks either then.
That's pretty fucking stupid. There are agencies that do things that are kind of really important that we can't leave open to being identified.

I think in your zeal to shit on law enforcement officers, you didn't think that one through.

Oh he likely did, he just doesn't care.

No, I'm not talking about the window smashers on Yonge street.

They were detaining everyone and kettling protesters. Infringing on peoples right to protest.
