Sarah Armstrong of the ACLU is being willfully stupid. The issue is the violent behavior that the masks encourage.

Does no one in Portland carry? How are there not stacks of Antifa?

[Vigilanteman]

“Behavior is the issue, not the mask.”

Actually, it sounds like a compelling argument. Let's apply it to the TSA drones who are so focused on confiscating and profiling stuff that they wouldn't know a terrorist if one hit them in the face. < / sarcasm >

Anti-mask law should be federal.

[I want the USA back]

And burkas? they are masks too.

[Eddie01]

Antifa = Anti First Amendment

[SaveFerris]

Gonna be a bummer for AntiFa when AntiFa brings out their guillotine again....liberals (Democrats) at work....These people will gladly serve the Antichrist.

"...where a conservative writer said he was assaulted by members of the left-wing group Antifa..."

WHAT THE F#CK?!

This from the WSJ? It's on video, for f#ck's sake!

Has it gotten that bad?

[Hadean]

Mr. Wheeler “wants to weigh his options thoroughly and hear concerns from community leaders before making a decision,”

I'd bet if it were a ban on the Pledge of Allegiance it would have been passed immediately.

[Responsibility2nd]

No real surprise the ACLU defends Fascism.

I am of the opinion that wearing a mask or intentionally concealing identity while committing a crime, misdemeanor or felony, is de-facto proof of intent and should be a minimum 1 year felony with up to an additional 4 years (total of 5).

[BookmanTheJanitor]

...where a conservative writer said he was assaulted by members of the left-wing group Antifa,

Go F yourselves, Wall Street Journal.

[euram]

So, the Chief of Police’s name is Outlaw. Since the cops have been repeatedly ordered to stand down while Antifa riots and assaults people, the name fits.

[TangoLimaSierra]

There should have been mask laws across the country 2 years ago.
Along with the warning: "Anyone protesting with a mask on is subject to rubber bullets, tear gas and bean bag weapons to be used against them."

[Joe Boucher]

Portland?
How about Oregon.
The State gub mint can make that happen.
Course it is over the top liberal Oregon.

[Two Kids' Dad]

Nothing in the First Amendment guarantees anonymity or freedom from the consequences of bad behavior.

[metmom]

Wow, Portland must have had enough.

It’s pretty bad when you push even Portland too far.

[metmom]

Too bad that they didn’t do this sooner.

Funny, isn’t it, how the laws change only when it’s one of them that gets caught by it.

They won’t do it to protect the common peon, just themselves, the privileged class.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It’s not a complete solution, but masking while threatening (like with fists or sticks), or during commission of an assault should be an “aggravating circumstance” upping the minimum and average penalties provided under the law.

[Maris Crane]

Ask bank tellers how they feel about masks.

There’s certainly nothing wrong with that, IS THERE?

Oh, wait, the masked people would have to do something illegal before unmasking.
