Sorry if this has already been posted, did a search but didn't see any.

This should get interesting.

NC senate bans mask

quote:

The North Carolina Senate voted along party lines Wednesday to ban anyone from wearing masks in public for health reasons, following an emotional debate about the wisdom of the proposal.

Republican supporters of the ban said it would help police crack down on protesters who wear masks — which some lawmakers called a growing concern, saying demonstrators are abusing Covid-19 pandemic-era norms to wear masks that hide their identities.

Through all of the Covid nonsense the weirdest feeling I ever had was walking into a liquor store wearing a mask, which was just a gaiter pulled up over my nose. I half expected to get lit up by the ol' baw behind the counter.

Republicans. The party of absolutely no personal autonomy and freedom.

If someone wants to wear a dust mask in public, they should be able to do that. It is not an issue that Republicans should be able to control.

They're not wrong, but this still doesn't make sense. If the protestors are breaking a law then arrest them. Pretty easy to take the mask off at that point. You can't legislate stupidity out of these people. Just enforce the laws we already have hard and fast and this shite would go away.

NC Republicans: "You can't force me to wear a mask."
Also NC Republicans: "We can force you not to wear a mask."

These idiots lived through COVID government overreach and STILL don’t want the ability to protest anonymously.

They still think the government is their friend.

What about people who are legitimately high risk like emphysema or lung cancer patients?

Never make a law that you don't one day want in the hands of your enemies.

It's what should happen in all 50 states. No more excuses with COVID. Too many very bad people are taking advantage of this to do harm to others. Common sense folks.
