Blue cities across the US are contemplating banning masks. A few years ago these cities would not allow people to enter public establishments without a mask. But now, after Soros-backed DAs blindfolded themselves to the drastic uptick in crime, cities such as Philadelphia, Atlanta, and New York are banning face masks to prevent criminals from evading police.
Balaclavas or ski masks have become a popular fashion accessory among urban youth. Far-left fashion publication Vogue even published an article in February 2023 entitled, “All the Cool Kids Are Wearing Balaclavas.” If someone walked into the bank with a ski mask on, it would have been considered a threat. Now, civil rights groups claim that these masks represent freedom of expression.
Executive Director of Violence Interrupters Tio Hardiman believes the normalization of facial masks has emboldened criminals. “If a person is not going skiing, they should not have on a full face ski mask,” Hardiman said. “Full face ski masks appear to give criminals an edge… It’s making the criminals emboldened. Almost like they’re invincible.”
Philadelphia is proposing a law that would impose a $250 fine on anyone wearing a face mask in public. “The Philadelphia Police Department can’t tell who’s a criminal and not a criminal, which makes it difficult for crimes to be solved in Philadelphia,” council member Anthony Phillips told CNN. Philadelphia Police Department Deputy Commissioner Francis Healy believes that the pandemic changed the public’s perceived risk. “There was a time not so long ago when any average police officer would see a person donning a mask before entering a convenience store or a bank and they would believe a robbery was about to occur,” Healy said. “However, the pandemic changed that mindset where people were actually more fearful of people without masks than with masks.”

Crime has risen drastically in every blue city since the pandemic. Those who claim banning masks is an infringement on human rights or even racist do not realize that facial coverings were regulated in the 1800s due to the Ku Klux Klan using white hoods to commit atrocious crimes undetected.

Law of unintended consequences.
It’s funny, I rolled my four wheeler out fucking around in a muddy area and had to go to the ER to get checked out. No masks, no questions about covid or the vaxx, none at all. And I was there for respiratory and chest issues. No one cares, everyone has either forgotten or knew it was all bullshit.
The news is no longer pushing that story, so it fades into the past as this year’s shiny new “news” stories are rolled out.
Interesting logo for Southland Journal: the Eye in front of a Sun with SJ in the Iris. Hmmm.
The test was considered a relative success. Now on to 15 minute cities.
Like beaten wives, welcoming Daddy home for the fiftieth time . . .
This is the problem with one-size-fits-all policies. In my neck of the woods, masks serve a purpose even when you are not going skiing. Specifically, most Portland woman are ugly at birth or turn themselves ugly. If they worm masks, us normal people would not have our visual senses assaulted every time we walk down the street.
Now, of course, there always need to be exceptions to any rule. Therefore, the Portland Mask Rule should be:
All woman must wear a full-face mask outside, except;
– Woman wearing all black clothes because they are likely Antifa.
– Woman who just arrived from a sunny climate, have no tattoos or body jewelry, and their hair is its natural color.
Implementing this simple rule will improve the visual attractiveness of our northwest city immensely.
Women with no tattoos, piercings, or dye need to be removed to the countryside for their own welfare.
I’m not sure why you would want to see antifa faces though.
Wear a mask and enter and if stopped tell the venue management one has Tuberculosis but that you would be heppy to take it off.
Turn about like this is plain psychotic, just like the Communist-Democrats.
Fuck the Blue cities, fuck politicians who make Draconian policy, fuck the residents who voat for the Communist-Democrats, and FJB.
I have infectious tuberculosis!
Classic!
Chicago might actually benefit from a mask ban — but let’s not pretend that masks are the problem. White people and Asians seem to do just fine wearing masks without committing crimes. Ski masks are not causing any crimes at all.
Mask up !
Your all in this together democrats !
Trust the party and the “science” !
