Just another law targeted at black people.
Someone on Bluesky pointed out that masks are part of Asian culture and this is obviously racist against Asians. I think that's right.
I wasn’t able to find a mask photo on that page. Was it in the video? I usually skip those because of ads.
It's not a mask, it's a hood is why.
It's the first photo if you read the caption, it's just not easily recognizable as a mask
Hah. I just thought he had a cool hat.
It's an old law that was actually passed to fight against the KKK, many states have similar laws, but apparently this one wasn't worded too carefully so intent isn't a part of the law, in other states you have to be clearly trying to hide your identity, this guy was wareing an open face ski hood. His entire face was visible, and he walked into police breaking up a fight or something, so they pounced on him as if he were involved, but clearly wasn't as they didn't charge with anything related to the fight.
