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.

:francis:

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'?

fukk you need to wear that shyt for anyway? I actually have been to ski resorts iN North Carolina and I never understood the value of ski masks until I went there. Wearing them to go to the store is just dumb though.
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

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

A lot of kids been wearing those "poo shiesty mask" and some parents been defending them, talking about "It makes my kid feel safe."
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.:russ:

I don't think it's unfair to assume that some of the people wearing these masks are law abiding citizens.

here is how you avoid being "unfairly" targeted: don't wear a ski mask unless you're going skiing :gladbron:

Like niccas about to engage in crime are gonna be like ":childplease: 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.

The majority in Philly are bad ass kids or criminals or people just following the fashion trend.

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

Ban them now.
