Actually they have this anti mask law, I don't see how they can ban a freedom of expression.

I know it's sad, but unless it runs contrary to Florida's state constitution (which I believe it does not as the word "expression" doesn't appear anywhere within the state constitution), then it's entirely legal to ban the wearing of masks in public. Other states have similar laws. With that said, due to the federal Constitution, the federal government can't enact a similar law.

They also used to have Clown College there. Admittance was very competitive, as wannabe clowns have big shoes to fill.

So it would be OK if the road was under 16 years old?

It’s okay for the Left to sport masks like the Bush one, to protest, and it’s okay for Muslim women to wear burkhas, but it is not okay for the average guy to wear a clown mask and wig. Watch out Ronald M.!

charged with wearing a mask or hood on a public road over the age of 16

Public school journalism.

Would he have been okay if the mask or hood was brand new?
Would he have been okay if the road was only, say, 10 years old?

The Broward Mall (Plantation, FL) wouldn’t let me in with all the neighborhood kids I brought along, with my halloween costume on (grim reaper). The costume’s nothing without a hood. So we went to another mall.

All right, you asked for it:

Two cannibals were eating a clown. Finally one of them looked up with an expression of disgust on his face and asked the other cannibal: does this taste funny to you?

When clown masks are outlawed only outlaws will have clown masks.
