Fishermen around here cover their faces for sun/wind protection with light cotton or moisture wicking cloth... I can see some Soy Boys getting "intimidated" by these high-speed boat ninjas.
The wording of this act is so obtuse that it's laughable, right up until you really think about it, at which point it becomes disturbing.

As with any early bill draft, I don't have a strong opinion one way or another. But I will note that the language being criticized here ("intimidate") is already present in other sections of the federal code whose amendment is being proposed. Basically, the bill imposes an additional punishment (in its words, it "provide[s] penalty enhancements") for wearing a mask when it comes to behavior that is already prohibited by law.
(Of course, I'm not saying that the criticism is illegitimate. It could be that such language ought to be removed from elsewhere in the code, or otherwise more clearly defined in each section where it appears, or whatever.)
On a broader note, I'll just add that current laws regarding civil rights aren't being enforced equitably, so I don't see the point in throwing another one on top. I'm skeptical that any law like the one being proposed would actually accomplish anything positive. It would be more helpful to punish public officials who actively deny to some persons the equal protection of the law in violation of the 14th amendment.

I want to know exactly who finds the SWP (look at the majority of the banners)? Does anyone know, and I don't want spurious accusations, but actual genuine links. I know Searchlight plays a role, but who funds them? Unite, UAF, Stand Up To Racism etc... all the HARD left groups must be getting their funding from somewhere.

Looking at the demographics of the people there will increase your sexism meter. All living in a public sector bubble, hence why they've all been allowed out of their jobs to do this demonstration (uni professors, trade union workers etc).

This was one of the last legit criticisms of Trump, that he didn't care about his guys getting beat up in the street.
With Antifa out of the picture, it's going to make Trumpism and assorted right wing populism mainstream. Don't forget that the average normie has no clue about who is right wing, who is nazi, who is ethno-culturalist, they just go by "muh optics" and getting beat up always make you look like a loser.
Winning!

I wouldn't be surprised if the groups, both far Left and Right were heavily infiltrated by secret services.
