It is absolutely EVIL to let criminals like this out on bail. The lawmakers, prosecutors and judges who allow dangerous criminals to be out on bail are themselves guilty and Evil!

[bellanails]

the thinkg is that people were never wearing masks before

I forget the name, but someone once said: You can gauge the freedom of a nation, by the number of laws that are on the books. (paraphrased, I forget exact wording)
A study somewhere made mention of this: Due to the number of laws currently on the books, an average person will violate 3 laws daily without even knowing it.

Cop are smart enough to know when a person fits the description of a person who’s sick and one who is acting responsibly suspicious.

News flash: a person can be called in for questioning. Arrested and charged with wearing a mask is just added to the list of offenses.

Didn’t take long to go from being illegal to _not_ wear a mask to being illegal to wear one. Wonder how this law will be applied to Muslim women though.

What if a person is sick and needs to wear a mask? Really stupid law.

[kevingilchrist]

Then the police should not be able to wear them as well.

[Bart-dgqv]

[Peachcobler]

I think medical mass should be allowed. He was not wearing anything medical. It was a ninja style mask that and ski mask should be the ones that are outlawed.

[shinxmizo]
