“Nor has it reached the criminal elements. Masking to hide identity has become NORMALIZED.”
After the mask fad had passed I noticed a sign on my bank’s entrance saying ‘No masks.’ It was from before covid when it wasn’t legal to wear a mask anywhere you wanted.
It’s not surprising looters and leftist protesters kept it in fashion. Like a badge of expression that also helps them avoid being accountable.
During Covid, a business in our neighborhood suffered so much shoplifting/robbery, they put a sign on the door saying nobody wearing a mask would be allowed in.
