Seriously, Virginia?

Nice one Deadoman.

I can see why that would scare the kiddies.

If i saw someone like that walking towards me, i would cross to the other side of the street.

[Lief 🗽]

Seems reasonable.

[Enduro]

What?! This is an outrage!

Arrest him next:

Dumb law.  I bet they wouldn't arrest Harley Quinn.

Also, I see they don't have a religious exemption.

Was the sword real though?  Cause if so, that is kinda creepy.

But he's not a violent masked group like the KKK or antifa, he's just one lonely millennial.

If you read the link you'll see that he's only allowed to be a lonely millennial on the evening of October 31, or if he's headed to the stage.  Makes perfect sense.  After all, it's not as though anyone was ever killed on Halloween, or that any any important government officials have ever been killed by stage actors. 

Actually, here's the relevant part of the bill:  "It shall be unlawful for any person ... to ... mask, hood, or other device, whereby a substantial portion of the face is hidden or covered..."  Get a good lawyer.  From the photos we can see that his face is not masked, hooded, or concealed by what most juries would consider a "device."  Moreover, his face is not hidden, and, in the general sense of the word, it is not "covered" because there is no hat, shawl, or blanket over it.  Alan Dershowitz should take this on for free.

No joke?

This thread is great because 1) It has dead0man comparing antifascists to the KKK which is *Italian chef finger kiss* and 2) THIS is the injustice in the American criminal justice system he's outraged about, and not y'know, cops killing unarmed black men or any of that stuff.

According to him, those people, including a little kid, were darwined

I mean, when I think of violent masked groups the first 2 to come to mind are the KKK and the black bloc anarchists. The comparison pertains to the fact that both are groups, both are violent, and both wear masks to conceal their identity while committing violence. Clearly he wasnt saying that the KKK and black bloc have done the exact same amount of bad stuff and are therefore exactly the same. Again, he just correctly pointed out that both are violent, mask wearing groups. Does that really call for some sort of privilege analysis to determine which victims are more sympathetic?

Oh they all should have been more careful when dealing with law enforcement.

But this story, man. Complete injustice. I mean, who's ever heard of cops caring about people wearing a costume with a sword?

[dead0man]

People seem to think the every post from another poster comes with the same emotion that they post with.  That isn't true.  I don't think this is some great injustice, I think it's a silly law.  That is all.  I'm not outraged.  It's certainly nowhere near as horrible as cops shooting people for no or sh**tty reasons or civil asset forfeiture or rent control.

Dumb law.  I bet they wouldn't arrest Harley Quinn.

hopefully they would arrest this one

This law is seriously messed up.

I don't think he was seriously confused about what you meant.
