31 Comments on Perfect- VCU students charged with felony for wearing masks at rally arraigned; hearing set for Halloween

1. She must use the same shampoo as Wasserman.

2. But the former VCU student said she is optimistic about her case because she said she was not wearing the mask to conceal her identity from police.

   “I was wearing the mask to protect myself from people who I was told were filming and photographing us with the intent of doxxing us,” Hill said.

   Riiiight. And *I* was going 65 in a 25mph zone “cause I was REALLY afraid of “having an accident” before I got to a toilet…or was it because my 62 year old Czarina HAD to make it to the hospital before she gave birth… so I don’t get a ticket, right?!?

3. @Corona

   Like none?

   I’ll bet she’s even uglier with the mask off.

4. I don’t think we should start tossing around felonies to people for wearing masks. Yea, it’s in their state law, but a felony?

5. Court case for wearing a mask…scheduled on Halloween. There’s a word for that I’m sure

6. Wearing a mask at a protest is terrorism, so yea it’s a felony.

7. The Libtards in Richmond were all mad because the mask law was intended for the Klan. Funny how turnabout works…

   😀

8. The law should apply to the muslima’s too eh?

9. Wrong, Bman; these jerks wear the mask EXPLICITLY so they can better “get away with” their violence unrecognized…just like bank robbers in ye olden days.

10. I believe the law was passed back in the heyday of the KKK when they wore full hoods including over the face during the commission of other criminal acts. Purpose of the law is the same.

11. The best part about this, most of these laws were passed as Anti-Klan laws.

12. If every state had this law there’d be a lot less violence and thuggery. Anonymity grants these punks a license to go wild without consequence.

13. Are we sure that’s a mask.
    Liberal women are pretty ugly.

14. AntiFa = today’s KKK (yesterday’s SturmAbteilung/SA)
    So, yeah, if the shoe fits….

15. Did they commit a crime while wearing a mask? Im sorry, but a fucking felony?

16. Richmond PD announced well ahead of this rally that the no mask law would be strictly enforced.
    And way back when Occupy had their first Richmond rally I infiltrated it. one of the event organizers informed the rabble of the law, so they’re aware of it.

17. Trick or treat,
    You’ll get beat,
    Hiding your face on the street.

18. Police Commissioner Lazlo to the Chief of Police prior to a demonstration:
    “Everybody that wears a mask is guilty of intent to riot. They riot because they’re stressed. I expect you to give each and every masked protestor a bean bag to relieve their stress. Speed is essential. Get it to them as quickly as possible. 250-300 feet per second will do nicely”

19. Bman, you might as well ask:
    “Did they commit a crime while wearing a mask entering the country illegally? Im sorry, but a fucking felony?”

    YES, a f*cking felony.

20. Virginia Code § 18.2-422. Yes, it’s a felony. And the law says nothing about concealing your identity from the police, it’s concealing identity period.

21. p.s. What part of IT’S AGAINST THE LAW don’t you understand?

    Maybe they don’t need/want it in other states, but in Virginia, they decided they DO.

22. Let’s see what her penalty ends up being. The under-over is $200.

23. Reduced to a misdemeanor. No penalty. But still. Some sort of pushback against recreational parttome Antifa play actors is required. Less appealing if there are inconveniences like jail, hearings, arraignments, seeking counsel yadda yadda. A three hour tour turned
    Into being shipwrecked with some goofy guy like Gilligan.

24. A felony charge for simply wearing a mask in public is abusive govt.
    A felony charge for wearing a mask while committing another crime is OK by me.

25. If you’re PROTESTING, by wearing a mask you are negating the participation, stay home and wank behind closed doors.

26. “A felony charge for simply wearing a mask in public is abusive govt.
    A felony charge for wearing a mask while committing another crime is OK by me.”

    I agree with Uncle Al. As much as I hate these leftist, It’s an absurd, abusive gubbmint law. Imagine the outrage had it been a couple 70 year old Tea Party members wearing Uncle Sam masks. The law sucks, and hope it’s dropped on the two idiots .

27. I think a note to mommy and daddy would be a fine penalty in most of these cases. What do you think it is they’re most afraid of?

28. So, when the cops show up wearing balaclava’ what do you say?

29. Bman and UA
    Spoken like true anarchists/libertarians.
    PLEASE, GO DO IT in Virginia…to PROVE your point!
    Make your IDEOLOGY into REALITY!

30. @Czar – Do you have restless leg syndrome? Your knee is jerking.

31. The comment section of that article is a hoot. There’s some liberal moron there who must have at least 3 different Facebook accounts who uses them to bully anyone who doesn’t agree with his idiotic point of view.
