Democrat D.C. Mayor Opposes Criminals Wearing Masks After Mandating Them
Breitbart ^ | 10/24/2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) introduced a crime bill on Monday that includes a ban on criminals wearing masks — after she mandated face coverings during the Chinese coronavirus.

“We need to act now,” Bowser told reporters about the soaring crime. “And we need to send the strong message that violence is not acceptable in our city — and this perception that people have, that you can commit a brazen crime and get away with it, has got to stop.”

“This legislation will change that,” she claimed.

In 2020, Bowser issued an edict that forced people to wear a mask in the District when they left their homes “if they are likely to come into contact with another person for more than a fleeting moment.” Bowser finally dropped the mandate in late 2022.

Over a year later, Bowser believes covering one’s face might lead to increased crime. “Obviously, our community’s relationship around wearing masks has changed significantly since 2020, and thank God for that, but we’ve all seen the videos,” Bowser said.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) was caught breaking her mask mandate again while attending a legislative summit. https://t.co/hXbdRvJiao

You can’t fix stupid. So many “elected leaders” today are simply bone-a$$ed stupid. The larger problem being too many of their constituents are even more stupid.

Wait, isn't this a circular logic statement.

1. Illegal for a criminal to wear a mask.
2 Everyone must wear a mask.
3. Not wearing a mask, you are now a criminal. Get arrested.
4. Take mask off cause you are a criminal. Get arrested for wearing a mask.
5. Rinse and repeat

Criminals should have to show their criminal card to explain why they aren’t wearing a mask.

My bank used to deny entry to anyone wearing a mask, sunglasses, ballcaps, pretty much anything that would conceal identity.

Then covid hit and they required a mask to enter the bank...

We live in strange times

Funny, you and your ilk kicked that off, on steroids. But hey, strong messages have always worked well in the past, so you should be good to go.
