CWB Chicago ^ | November 19, 2022 | CWB Chicago staff writers

The head of a Chicago violence interruption group wants to make it illegal for people to wear ski masks outdoors in Chicago and across Illinois.

“If a person is not going skiing anywhere here in Chicago, which we do not have any ski slopes in Chicago, it’s time to ban full-face ski masks,” Tio Hardiman, Executive Director for Violence Interrupters, said in a YouTube video Friday.

“Today I’m coming to everybody with a special message … It’s time to ban full-face ski masks in Chicago and throughout the state of Illinois,” Hardiman said.

“Too many crimes are being committed. Too many people carjacked, people are being killed, people are being robbed with people wearing full-face ski masks,” he explained.

Can somebody please explain to me what is a "violence interruption group" and how do they get money?

Also, if such a law went into effect, do you suppose the Chicago cops would enforce it? At most, it would be an additional charge if there is an arrest for something else

Yeah. It’s the ski masks that cause it all. Except for that, they would all be upstanding citizens.

Declare open season on anybody wearing a ski mask in public who is not skiing.

No daily or possession limit.

There you go again, thinking. That is not allowed. Just follow orders.

Also face masks of any kind - unless you are tending goal in a hockey game.

Isn’t it amazing that when the United States was 95% white and the 5% other colors were basically controlled that there was no issue with people wearing ski masks?

Oh wait, these are words which should not be spoken else I will get cancelled or worse, I will be called names.

I lived in the UP of Michigan for 4 years. I wore a ski mask walking to the dang bus stop. If temps get as cold in Chicago as they do in the UP, you need to cover all skin, because exposed skin will get frostbite in those temps. When you spit and you hear two cracks, the first crack is your spit flash-freezing. The second crack is the sound of it shattering on the pavement. And that’s when you need a ski mask covering your face.

I hope the idiots get the ski masks banned and there is a month of 40 below zero in Chicago this winter.

No ski slopes in Chicago. LOL. The Babylon Bee has done it again!

Oh, wait. This isn’t satire. It’s just another idiot trying to deflect away from the real problems. Just takin’ the easy way out.
