A California bank robber could get extra time in prison because social justice warriors said his mask was offensive
In Santa Monica, California, a bank robber could get extra time in prison because social justice warriors said his mask was offensive.
Here’s a still from the security footage which shows the mask in question: (Source)
I support the maximum prison time for anyone who robs a bank.
But I don’t think anyone should ever go to prison for doing something that some people consider to be offensive.
In this case, the proposed extra time for the robber is because the mask that he wore was a form of “cultural appropriation” which “violated the rights of indigenous peoples.”
The voters and politicians of California are insane.

CA is going exponentially insane.
Maybe someone should test the water.

Can a person “appropriate” a culture that they are a part of?

You know, where California is concerned, the acronyms F.U.B.A.R. and S.N.A.F.U. are no longer descriptive enough to describe that state.

But it is A-OK that Irish Bob 0’Rourke appropriates a nickname from Mexican culture.
Liberal is a synonym for hypocrite.

Its not illegal to wear stuff that originates from other folks cultures.
If so everyone not white better give up white european everything, including cars, electricity and ALL electronic goods as we designed transistors and ic chips.

In this case, the proposed extra time for the robber is because the mask that he wore was a form of cultural appropriation which violated the rights of indigenous peoples. How can they tell? The whole point of wearing a mask is to avoid identification. He could be of that culture, thus no appropriation.
From what I gather from this article, which was the source article, he remains at large.

You couldn’t write this stuff as fiction. Maybe if he wore an Omar mask they’d reward him.

There is no cultural appropriation law, even in California.

And a NHL goalie mask?
During a NHL game would trigger a SJW?
What if it had been a Hussien O mask?

The best part from the story:
“A spokesperson from Wells Fargo tells Yahoo Lifestyle, We are working with law enforcement and are unable to provide more details as this is an ongoing criminal investigation. Wells Fargo values and promotes diversity and inclusion in all aspects of business at all levels. We do not tolerate racism, cultural appropriation or discrimination of any kind.
In other words; Wells Fargo has no room for bank robbers who aren’t culturally sensitive!!

From a different article:
Witnesses described the unidentified suspect as a 6'4" black male weighing 220 pounds and carrying a shotgun and wearing a skeleton mask and blue shoe covers. Reparations, baby.
