A look at how the shooting death of Brian Thompson is being used to re-ignite interest in banning masks in New York City - a move which would be a devastating blow to the disabled community.

    It’d be a shame if the people decided “fuck that” and made an unofficial “wear a mask” holiday specifically for NYC.

    Very roundabout way of avoiding VIP individuals from being given protection

    Sure, let’s ban masks

    What are you gonna do if they still wear them? Maybe they wear something else, maybe less available, but a whole lot more convincing, maybe something that disguises their face completely and shows a different person’s face in front?

    2020: everybody must wear a mask.

    2024: we must ban masks.

    Edit: Something tells me New Yorkers in winter will not appreciate this very much.

    Scarves and hats are also commonly misused, sure you might think you’re wearing it to protect yourself from the wind or the sun, but really, you’re just being a danger to public safety by circumventing the surveillance state.
    If you don’t show your face, you’ve got something to hide.

    Shoes and boots are used by the vast majority of criminals who run away.
    If you got nothing to run away from, why wear foot escaping apparatus?
