Masks Banned on Philadelphia Public Transportation System to Fight Gun Violence
Breitbart ^ | 06/02/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

Philadelphia has banned masks on its Center City SEPTA public transportation system in the hope of curtailing gun violence incidents.

CBS News reported an individual in a mask shot and killed a high school student on a SEPTA bus last week and on Memorial Day, another gunman in a mask shot a 19-year-old on a bus.

The 19-year-old survived his injuries.

SEPTA police chief Charles Lawson announced masks will no longer be allowed, saying, “Those face masks are prohibited on SEPTA property. You come on SEPTA property wearing your shiesty, you will be engaged by police. … You got two choices, remove it, or we escort you off the property.”

Two years ago masks where the greatest thing since sliced bread but now they are banned because of crime. You can't make this crap up.

No refunds. Follow "the science".

The Democrats demanded the masks despite being warned and now they got them.

Good luck arresting or fining someone for wearing a mask. They'll cash out in a suit against Philthadelphia.

Just before the first lockdowns I was among those here who was agitating for universal bans on masks. Thugs all over the place were mugging, beating, mobbing and looting with the police saying “suspect was wearing a mask” and they were “reaching out to the public for information” as there “are now no suspects.”

LOL

Oh, the humanity.

By the way, do others see the probably 10 or so people at stores and on sidewalks protecting their very lives with health protecting masks?
Speaking of nuts, I will now open my new Planters package.

A well delivered night stick blow is the only thing that will deliver results.

And since the masked St. George Floyd rioters were able to Burn, Loot and Murder at will, what difference will it make?

Years ago, I had a business trip into Philly and took an early Sunday morning flight so I could have a day to explore the historical sites like Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, etc. Don't know if I would dare do that now.

In FL it’s illegal to mask your identity on a public road, sidewalk etc. Yet single morons in cars could be seen driving with the sheep veil. Course this is Broward, the liberal armpit of FL. I saw a lady wearing two masks once.

A 125 grain JHP 357 magnum will also deliver results and reduce the recidivism rate as well.

I was in Disney World last week, and there were just a few mask wearers among the employees and customers.

That’s nothing. I place two rubbers on every finger before I post, under an abundance of caution. We must bleat.... I mean BEAT this virus!

How about banks? They used to ban masks, sunglasses, etc

Then one day my bank refused service to me until I put on a mask
