PHILADELPHIA (TND) — The Philadelphia City Council passed a ban Thursday on so-called "sheisties" in certain public spaces.

The council's ban prohibit the use of ski masks and balaclavas in day cares, schools, parks, recreation centers, public transit and city buildings. Violators face a $250 fine, and those wearing the masks while committing a crime will assume a possible $2,000 fine.

We must send a message that masks are of no discernible public or private good when they just create fear and anxiety," Councilman Anthony Phillips stated, according to FOX 29.

Exceptions for religious freedom and "First Amendment activities" are included in the legislation, which passed by a 13-2 vote and awaits Mayor Jim Kenny's approval.

Phillips believes most crimes in Philadelphia are committed by suspects wearing ski masks. He argues the ban will help the police department solve cases.

Yep

Just wear a blue mask over the moth and nose, sunglasses, and a hat and say you’re shielding from whatever disease Fauci is concocting for release.

Philadelphia officials will discover two groups wearing masks:

1) old or sick people susceptible to bacterial or viral infection.

2) Noodle-arm FBI scum committing crimes.
