Of course you would need mask-laws to make them unmask. I think there are laws like that in some states.

But you don‘t a lot about that because protests there tend to stay non violent...

well heres the thing

you want to protest, mask off

The world is watching with fanged grins. Everyone is on edge

because laying a hand on someone with a mask will be 15 years in federal prison over not wearing one which would be probation and/or 2 years in country prison

The mask law was made to stop the kkk right?

so think twice before punching a natzi once that law passes

Which I find funny

uh no actually

the law is to stop anyone

it was pointed out that it would be used against the kkk

Was sure it was the original intent

but in reality, it will be used against anyone that wears a mask and starts hysteria

The state-mask laws are because of the kkk afaik

that lands antifa under the same roof

The mask-laws in germany are explicitly because of antifa

Dunno was gonna point out that laws you make will be used against you stuff

well i dont know much about germany as thats not where my expertise lays in

the thing is, when these laws gets passed, people need to follow them as it doesnt make them immune to something like that

And the german law is in effect since 1985.

So... antifa... really not a new thing.

exactly

it doesnt single them out either

eventhough the bill is nicknamed the unmask antifa law, it goes for anyone who fits the description

yeah, it will get used against anyone who masks themselves

The argument against it would be that it might get used to suppress political opposition if the government can identify protesters.

But there have to be a lot of other things wrong in your country if it gets to that point.

That sounds like a good way to handle the mask stuff, banning masks altogether is sketchy, but making charges more intense when using one sounds like a good compromise

it doesnt man masks really

i mean at its simplest terms, its tresspassing

like dont go around in public hiding your face if you only intent is to obfuscate your idenity

Well... the masking is to prevent being identified, so making the punishment for crimes committed while being masked harsher is kinda... not a factor....

But you will have a problem when you have 5000 masked blac block members and try to arrest them all...

well thats the unfortanete problem with this

the worst that can happen is to detail them all for being guilty of association

plus an iris scan is really all they need nowadays

If you participate in a black bloc, you are responsible for the actions of everyone in it because you provide cover for them... imho

Don‘t you need high quality images for an iris scan?

sadly yes and if they want us to live in a dystopian future that all leftists wants, they need to get some higher quality shit there

what we see being used nowadays isnt going to do just that
