No anti-mask laws!
Posted on 07/04/2019 7:23:38 AM PDT by BenLurkin
The Portland police chief argued in favor of implementing an anti-mask law on Wednesday to curb the violent brawls that most recently resulted in a conservative journalist being hospitalized over the weekend.
“We cannot allow people to continue to use the guise of free speech to commit a crime,’’ Police Chief Danielle Outlaw said, according to The Oregonian. “A lot of people are emboldened because they know they can’t be identified.’’
There are currently 15 states that have laws that have banned masks of some sort. Those against the ban argue that it infringes First Amendment rights.

A lot of them might just stay home and so no need for all of this.

Antifa has made this necessary. It’s time for common sense mask control in liberal cities.
If I were a Portland cop, I’d wear a bag over my head. Portland PD = Antifa.
Perhaps. At least when they kill and eat each other, they are actually hungry. :)
No anti-mask laws!
The Left is already outraged. This would interfere with their first amendment right to beat people and destroy property anonymously.
We don't know 'cause they are wearing masks.
I would believe that because, I think, these anti-mask laws were aimed at the KKK. That is why they no longer wear the full hood; but, instead the area covering the face is cut out, so that the face is now visible.
Funny coincidence is that in Washington the court just upheld a law that says the bikini baristas have to wear shorts and tank tops...also infringing on their free speech rights. So we can’t have a law that bans masks for protesters but can have a law that bans bikinis?
I would like it if Trump ordered the deployment of US Marshals to protect people against violent Antifa members.
Good for him. Apparently the issue is the mayor.
Nah, what they need is the reincarnation of Frank Rizzo as police chief.

Whose to say they’ll arrest them mask or no mask. Beating innocent people is illegal and the cops ignored that.
Watching the videos on YouTube, half these Antifa troublemakers aren't wearing masks to begin with. They don't worry anymore about getting doxxed. They have nothing to lose.
Typical infuriating Rat response. They can’t do anything until another law is passed through the labyrinth of bureaucracy. As if there aren’t enough laws already to round up these criminals and prosecute them. Rats always need another law.
Only 15 states banned masks in public?
Only reason to wear one is to commit a crime (bank robbery,mugging,Antifa assaults on others). They’re not Kabuki theater masks or Halloween or medical condition ones. Just to hide a criminal!
After destroying any possibility of Ben Shapiro,Ann Coulter or others speaking on college campuses, “they” suddenly uphold freedom of speech! Hypocrites.
And when anyone on Facebook,Google searches,Twitter or Instagram express a conservative opinion-—they get shadow banned,deplatformed,demonetized and censored. Then “they” uphold the first amendment for robbers and Antifa wearing masks to commit crimes anonymously?
Can they wear masks entering a bank, a White House or US Capitol tourist tour or boarding a plane? Why not?
I am sorry to bring this up on our proud July 4th but around half of the over 18 people in this country are (censored).
They take our rights away but carefully protect robbers Antifa and border crashing illegals.
They are UnAmerican.
It doesn’t infringe on free speech or expression any more than telling people they can’t rob banks. Liberals are stupid
Post of the week. Bravo. Arrest then take off the mask. Then it should be fairly simple to identify the perp.
