PHILADELPHIA — A measure banning ski masks, balaclavas, and other full face coverings in Philadelphia has been approved by the City Council.

The council Thursday voted 13-2 to band certain facial coverings from being worn in certain spaces.

Proposed in June this year by Ninth District Councilman Anthony Phillips, the new legislation imposes a $250 fine on anyone who wears a full face covering in "school building, recreation center, daycare, park, City-owned building, or on any mode of public transportation, including, but not limited to, buses, trains, trolleys, and subways."

The banned masks are defined in the bill as "a close-fitting garment covering the whole head and face, with holes for the eyes, mouth, or nose, or any combination of the three."

The laws will be applied selectively to punish law abiding citizens and embolden the commumist conspirators.

Yes, I can't wait to see how many and which people are prosecuted and fined $2000.

So, what if I wear one garment that covers my eyes and another that covers my mouth? My identity is still hidden, but I'm not meeting the definition of the mask.

It looks to me like it's still OK when looting.

Lawful first amendment activity, punching "nazis," hassling old folks trying to eat dinner, burning police cars, breaking windows, spontaneous collection of "reparations" through the aforementioned broken windows.

Unlawful activities, praying on a sidewalk, handing out Trump pamphlets, anything less than enthusiastic support of drag queen story hour.

Dammit I can keep up with if we're wearing masks or not! Is 2024 the year of no masks?!?
