A hoodi and covid mask ban would probably have better results.

2018 - Don’t wear a mask at the bank
2020 - Wear a mask everywhere
2023 - Don’t wear a mask anywhere

The folks will merely say that they were wearing the ski masks while protesting the high prices of the items in the stores they were “liberating” stuff from.

Fellas, switch to COVID masks for your armed robberies, ski masks are illegal!

“Philadelphia City Council members voted last week to ban the wearing of ski masks in some public places.”

What about Halloween?

There will be no enforcement so what good does this do?

What’s the problem? these places are already declared “gun free zones” by the City, so there’s nothing to worry about....

This law will soon be followed by uproar in the black community that outlawing ski masks is racist...

Here in Memphis they set up a special court to charge the merchants for allowing criminals in and around their places of business. Seriously......

"Environmental Court" they call it. Your business creates the environment for crime, therefore your business must be closed. Apartment buildings, gas stations, mini marts, etc....The court orders your business closed and property sold. All the while the cops sit in your parking lot and do nothing to deter criminal activity. In fact, they wholly endorse it.

Crime has nothing to do with letting violent criminals out of jail and not prosecuting criminals-—Yup, crime is happening only because of ski masks. The world lived in bliss before the evil ski mask inventor got greedy and started selling masks everywhere!!!

Changing the rules without changing rule arbiters will change nothing. (I’m with the guy laughing.)

Killing robbers in the store eliminates the crime

Maybe they should try banning crime to prevent crime?

Council members voted 13-2 to approve the bill, which allows the city to fine people $250 for wearing a ski mask

This is going to put a serious dent in the FBI's, I mean "patriot front's" (wink wink) reign of domestic terror.
