IMO the time has come for a nationwide "No Masks Allowed" law at any public march or demonstration. We have had too many peaceful demonstrators attacked by individuals who hide their identities with masks so that they may carry out vicious attacks without consequence. We also have had several demonstrations that turned violent because the police were either nowhere to be seen or present but not willing to intervene to keep the peace.
If local police forces cannot be counted on to maintain the peace, then we can't allow people to show up at public marches concealing their identity. This is not a Right/Left issue it is a safety issue.
Have I got this wrong, is there some individual rights issue here that is more important than the safety of the demonstrators?
