How do we tell them apart? They all wear masks according to BLM protest ( riot ) organisers.
I guess we should treat all of them like the Left treats gun rights 2ed amendment citizens, ALL GUILTY for the crimes of a few.

In all fairness though, some people have argued that seat belt laws are unconstitutional. So who knows?
People balk when the government takes on a parenting role ... Interesting though, the protestors in the u.s. do not wear a mask, but the protestors in China do as they do not want to be identified by big brother. Could be because the penalties for protesting in China are stringent to say the least. However, there will be those that will seize the opportunities that wearing masks provide. It will be because of those folks, the u.s. may have to rethink its role in parenting.

Personally, I think anti-maskers (folks who simply refuse, yet still move about in the public sphere as a form of protest) should get full face combat masks with breathing filters, and also kevlar vests. No weapons, just put on every piece of scary, black metal/kevlar gear you can think of, then go into these stores, public places, etc. Heck, paint Punisher logos on the vest and face mask.

You're wearing a mask, and the Cult of Masks cannot scold you, but how freaked out would people be if they saw such get-ups? It would be funny to me if the anti-mask protesters would up their game.

We now have a $100 fine for not wearing a mask. I think about 80-90% are wearing masks in stores, maybe higher.

And lots of law enforcement, including those in my county, have stated that they will not enforce mask mandates.

Good idea! I print all kinds of "anti" messages on my masks. It reassures me that I get a lot of positive reinforcement for the messages.

Where is that, and is it regular city police or elected sheriffs?
