In Germany? “Some people in the crowd started to mask their faces“ is THE excuse for authorities to stop protests. You cannot seriously argue this doesn’t happen at e.g. 1st of May protests.
- eru 4y agoWell, if protestors are engaging in illegal activities, they should be stopped. [0] And putting on masks to obscure your face is illegal in protests in Germany. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermummungsverbot https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermummungsverbot [0] I mean that in a legal sense, that's how the police works. Whether stopping the protest is morally the right thing to do or not is a different issue that I don't want to address here.
- konha 4y agoI don’t disagree. Parent said it doesn’t happen, that’s what I commented on.
