Philadelphia votes to ban ski masks to decrease crime. Opponents worry it’ll unfairly target some
- Thread starter Street Knowledge
- Start date
but of course this law would target those who wear them
These laws will always impact Black people more but criminals put everyone in an impossible position where law abiding Black people are desperate enough to hold their noses and side with measures like this.
Nobody wearing those mask but street guys or wanna be street guys.
how does this impact the everyday black person

Where (or when) will it stop?
What else should be 'banned'?
And lastly, will it even work to 'decrease crime'?
I’ve been wearing them since the 2000’s. I used to wear it as a skully but rolled up. Now I use them for shoveling snow or doing yard work. Don’t understand wearing them to stores with it fully covering ur face lol
The niccas wearing them to drop somebody or rob a store still gonna wear them, they already doing something illegal
This only effects those who wear them when they trying to evade the police because they on the run or kids who wear them to look tough

Perhaps if those parents taught their kids to follow the rules, they wouldn’t face consequences.
Whether it will decrease crime or not isn't what's driving support for these kinds of measures. They're about making people feel safe.

This is pure cap lmao.
I can walk outside to any of the local schools near me and see regular everyday kids wearing it. I’ve even seen my FedEx driver wearing one.
I don't think it's unfair to assume that some of the people wearing these masks are law abiding citizens.

Good point
The FedEx/Amazon brehs live by this. That would be unfair AF to them.

put a red dot on your head like a hindu
Like niccas about to engage in crime are gonna be like "
yo brah...leave the ski mask in the house, you know it's illegal"
You dummy pearl clutching b'sh ass niccas going for this aren't using common sense and just bow to crap like respectability politics and like to get bent over. This is new wave stop and search sh't because the only people this will be enforced on are people not doing anything but walking down the street.

I’ve aged out of being trendy fortunately. But I don’t think my era was that much better. But you could tell where people were from easierGotta be one of the corniest fashion trends of the last few years.
lol
The majority in Philly are bad ass kids or criminals or people just following the fashion trend.This is pure cap lmao.

An innocent kid trying to be down is going to get mistaken for a criminal and shot one day.
Ban them now.
