Can't be hiding your identity, goy. No secrets. Everything must be known. The only way that you can get away with this is by doing it explicitly for illegal reasons. You can't just do what you want in public and expect not to get fucked. Humanity sucks, after all.
Eli Gonzalez
so the dark knight as actually realistic afterall, bravo nolan!
Angel Green
hopefully this was put in place just to make muslim women fuck off
Asher Stewart

Shit I'm from Winchester and never thought I'd see the day it made it to Sup Forums. Anyways this guy is probably just a retard. Winchester is filled with white trash and niggers. If you're normal you leave that shit hole after high school.
Oliver Morris
taking a photo with the makeup still on is part of collecting this thing called "evidence", which actually ends up being a pretty key part of criminal law
Nathan Murphy
I wish. Maybe if we tattooed a big fucking "S" on the forehead of every slut we'd clean this stupid whores up.
Justin Johnson
>virginia Probably because the KKK
Ryan Garcia
For some reason, a lot of people hate masks or anything thing that covers your face. It must freak them out or something. And so it's for this reason that it could be below freezing temperatures outside, but people will forbid you from weaingr anything over your face to stay warm if they're your boss in any kind of job where you might had to work outside.
Carson Wood
He didn't ware Ægi's helmet, that was his fault
Jonathan Barnes
the statute clearly includes makeup such as this.
Austin Robinson
By why does he wear the mask?
That's what the first photo is.
Blake Perez
>mask
Isn't that technically just makeup?
William White
>americucks >america is one state >that state is Virginia oh I'm having a giggle, me old son
Anthony Morgan
To be fair, wearing a mask and carrying a gun would be pretty worrisome too.
There have also been past events where people wearing joker masks have went on mass killings.
Matthew Watson
and the next photo is called "booking" whereupon arrested people are all photographed regardless of if they happened to be photographed at some other point in their lives
Aiden Clark
Isn't that just makeup? I guess all the bitches on the street should be arrested for wearing a mask too.
Charles Williams
for fucks sake educate yourself
Tyler Jenkins
According to Virginia Code 18.2-422, "It shall be unlawful for any person over 16 years of age, with the intent to conceal his identity, wear any mask, hood, or other device, whereby a substantial portion of the face is hidden or covered, so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, to be or appear in any public place, or upon any private property in this Commonwealth, without first having obtained from the owner or tenant thereof consent to do so in writing."
Nathan Rivera
You really need to learn how to use quotation marks.
Landon Torres
was it extremely painful?
Jaxon Wood
I worked at a movie theater during the Dark Knight Rising shooting. We closed for three days and checked all baggage afterwards.
Evan Diaz
>Sword-wielding man charged with felony for wearing mask
So it wasn't the sword that did him in?
Cameron Garcia
THIS is what it takes to get quads?
Justin Diaz
He's a big guy.
Brayden Williams
Meanwhile Soros antifarts wearing a mask go unpunished
Jacob Ross
you really need to learn how to use your brain
Christian Wright
I'm too smart to use my brain
Adrian Morgan
But I'll bet wearing your pants hanging below your ass is still perfectly legal.
Landon Harris
Shit, this guy looks better than the two new ones, Ledger and the other one in Suicide Squad.
Professional. Maybe someone will pick his ass up later because its really good. Even his suit is ragged and fits.
Also i love how in burger land you can land in fucking jail because you wear a mask but not the FUCKING SWORD.
Dominic Garcia
Fun fact: This law was put into place because of the Klan way back when.
Joshua Price
If you pull it off would he die?
Dominic Walker
lol jailed for wearing a mask
>meanwhile at an anti trump protest
Ayden Wilson
Shouldn't it be unconstitutional to ban people wearing masks if they aren't engaging in illegal activity?
Ian Robinson
>Sarge we can only take one photo!
Xavier Adams
HALLOWEEN IS NOW ILLEGAL! PRAISE GOD! FUCK THE IRISH!
Henry Smith
They are getting better.
Parker Young
Fuck that shit, they let antifa get away with it all the time.
I like this dudes mugshot though, very wicked
Charles Jackson

Brayden Hughes
>Arrest that chef for carrying that knife!!!
Liam Allen

Matthew Jackson
On what constitutional principle?
Colton Campbell
its actually well done.
Isaac Scott
some fuck head walking around larping as the joker get's arrested, but you get these antifa scum wearing masks and the police just don't care
lock'em up, fine'em.
Jackson Morris
the sword probably had more to do with it. it's in the article
See how the headline b8's people tho
Brody Ortiz
>people whine about states rights >people whine when states make laws
ancucks everyone
Ian Rogers
perhaps it isn't illegal where they are.
you understand that the laws change based on the local jurisdiction, right?
Jose Campbell
>Mugshout with paint on his face What happens if he washes it off and they don't recognize him? They'd think he got put in accidentally and let him go
Connor Lewis
Right to keep and bear arms includes swords.
Connor Thompson
They should totally issue him a gun, that would make police work very entertaining
Samuel Wood
>5 years for facepaint
>b-but muh land of muh fweedomz
Levi Stewart
Blah blah. It's all unconstitutional and just waiting for a SCOTUS hearing.
Elijah Hernandez
being in the locked room and hiring guards old enough to have developed object permanence is probably a big help for that problem
Elijah Reed
What part of the constitution does it violate?
Ayden Ross
>ITT: nobody notices the "sword wielding" part
Jackson Myers
wat?
Colton Wood
A persons freedom of speech and expression. He is not committing any harm to society wearing a mask unless he is engaging in unlawful activity with the mask on. It would be the exact same as the government saying you are not allowed to wear blue jeans in public.
Jason Young
>pants What happens if they take off that facepaint?
Benjamin Johnson
>tl;dr hiding your identity is illegal unless you do it as Santa
Blake Butler
>digitz
FUCKING LEFTISTS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Cameron Russell
Dear God...
Someone contact Judge Dredd
Charles Robinson
where is freedom of expression codified in constitutional text?
Angel Fisher
Why do white people do crazy shit like this every day?

That's why your mom looks smaller from far away.

The D.C criminal code where antifa was wearing masks.
(a) No person or persons over 16 years of age, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, shall:
(1) Enter upon, be, or appear upon any lane, walk, alley, street, road highway, or other public way in the District of Columbia;
(2) Enter upon, be, or appear upon or within the public property of the District of Columbia; or
(3) Hold any manner of meeting or demonstration.
I don't think wearing a mask should be illegal, only if it is done in combination with committing a crime. The government shouldn't have the right to tell us what clothes we wear in public.
Isaiah Cooper
But then again, ANTIFA is protected by the police, Wall Street and political ((((think-tanks))))).
Robert Carter
It is just a holding charge you dumb fucks. They are going to see what his intentions were.
Juan Ross
Someone arrest these SICK FUCKS
Aiden Rogers
no, if the news reports it, it means he has already been convicted and charged with the highest possible penalty
Most southern states have anti mask laws to prevent the KKK and similar groups from parading in public in masks. Mostof those anti Trump protests are happening in liberal states that never passed such laws. You can bet that the minute Antifa shows up in Virgin ia, Alabama or Georgia in a mask they'll face the same charges.
Connor Harris
I don't care what state you're in. If you wear a mask you're getting the electric chair
Christopher Morris
>no one cared who i was until i put on the mask bravo nolan
Isaac Bailey
>A thin layer of white makeup counts as a mask all women are committing felonies when they wear makeup?
Christopher Perry
the same city lets trump protestors wear masks....
great job!
Chase Green
They're all asian, so they look alike anyway
Christopher Baker
Not a mask, make up. ARREST ALL WOMEN.
Adam Richardson
ABSOLUTE
Cooper Butler
This
Adrian Richardson
False. There are people who dislike people there, but there's no full blown antifa maskfags there. Just a bunch of highschool liberals.
Luis Evans
Va cop here. That rule is excessive as shit. A college kid here got arrested for wearing a guy fawkes mask at a peaceful event and is facing a felony now. Bullshit.
Aaron Edwards
Dislike *Trump
Blake Johnson
Oh shit you're right: Wearing concealer is a felony because you're concealing a part of the face
