I imagine the left is going to be totally against this, but I'm not. This bill is long overdue and it should protect free speech without the violent threat of cowardly unknown masked thugs viciously attacking people who wish to freely and peacefully assemble.
Great! People are sick of these fascist piece of shits running around bullying anyone that doesn't agree with them, and destroying cars and buildings with their faces disguised. They're domestic terrorists and really should be treated like it.
They get a pass for their crimes and for their fascist Behavior because their politics benefit the collective. Collectivist have zero standards and never hold anyone to a standard that they might be held to themselves.
Remember those weird clown mask pranks and attacks from a few years ago? I'm assuming this would apply to them also. Antifa deserves to be unmasked. Racist terrorists....
I would like to just point out this covers anyone doing this not just Anti-Fa.. So by all means Progressives be against this show us your true colors.
Anyone running around with a mask on breaking things should go to jail. Just because they say they did it because of some political reason does not mean they get a pass.
Democrats will claim its a muslim ban, and Trump is trying to outlaw burqas. The idiot MSM will cry foul and rage on Trump, claiming racism.
I don’t think pranking people should be illegal. I do think what Antifa has been doing should be illegal. Do you?
I suppose that depends on the definition of "prank". There were multiple reports across the country of people in these clown masks terrorizing people, chasing people, threatening them with weapons, committing robberies, and threatening school shootings. Here in Florida, I can remember schools being put on lockdown from clown threats, and multiple reports of clowns chasing kids and chasing innocent people with random weapons like baseball bats and axes and knives.... If I remember correctly, there were multiple felony and misdemeanor charges across the country against these clown masked freaks.
You don't think hooded klansmen should get 15 years for intimidating a peaceable assembled crowed of blacks?
They can all they want however Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, while in disguise, including while wearing a mask, injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both. Doesnt state just wearing it. No "religion" allows you to injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person under our laws atleast.
