A 31-year-old man in Virginia was arrested and charged with wearing a mask in public Friday after he was spotted walking around dressed as the iconic comic book supervillain the Joker, police said. Police in Winchester -- located about 75 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. -- said the Winchester Emergency Communications Center received "several calls" around 2 p.m. on Friday of a suspicious male wearing a black cape and carrying a sword walking around the city.

I had no idea wearing a mask in public was a felony. Guy should have done this on Halloween?

But he is only trans villain. He was using his sword because he couldn’t pee. Transvillians need special rights too.

Unless you are an anarchist attacking police in a riot, the mask is illegal.

I thought Schumer was on the floor of the Senate ranting about something.
To: momincombatboots
So, they arrested and charged him for wearing a mask, but not for carrying a sword?

It looks like makeup, not a mask. They need to arrest every woman in Virginia, then.
To: COBOL2Java
I don’t see a mask just makeup. Are they arresting women with too much makeup as well?

That’s what I was going to say. Make-up isn’t a mask!
But... let me get this right... a 300 pound hairy guy can walk around dressed like Tinkerbell in a tutu and we’re not allowed to say anything because that would be “hate speech,” but some other guy can’t walk around dressed up like The Joker without being thrown in the slammer for five years?

In effect ... yes.
The more there are outrageous "news items" that could be construed in any kind of fractured political way, the more water is poured into the bucket of deplorables, attempting to weaken an extremely strong faction of America.
The Joker has been used to identify obama and his bots, so The Joker with a sword is an obozo that got his $105.59 for doing what he was told.

Looks like he is wearing makeup; and what is wrong with carrying a sword; if he wasn’t menacing anyone with it, it SHOULD be within his 2d amendment rights.

Come to think of it, he kind of looks like Chelsea.

Cant wear a mask in public? Who knew? I hope this guy finds a good lawyer. As others have said, he was wearing makeup, not a mask.

Children under the age of 16 are exempt (e.g. for Hall’o’ween).
Odd that he was charged solely with wearing a mask. It’s usually tacked onto other charges. Like robbery and wearing a mask. I don’t believe that openly carrying a sword would be a crime in Virginia.
