It seems pretty unlikely that someone who is already willing to commit a violent crime would care whether or not he violates a mask law.

- Miner49er 5y agoTrue, I guess maybe they were more to target groups who wore masks and were/are known for breaking laws. I think some were passed (and definitely at least proposed) to target antifa, and I believe some were also passed to target the KKK.
- josephcsible 5y agoThe point isn't whether you're willing to violate an extra law. It's that pre-COVID, if someone walked towards a bank wearing a mask, they're going to get noticed and attract attention well before they start committing their violent crime, increasing the chance that they're caught.
- hcurtiss 5y agoYes, but when it's illegal, it's much easier to quickly identify the law breaker before the trouble starts.
