In another smack to freedom of expression, the GOP are planning to create an offence that carries a significantly higher penalty than if the person was unmasked.
What does "oppress" mean here? Shouting "hey, fuck you Nazis"? How are white supremacists allowed to scream WP down a street with ZERO consequences, but the second they put a mask in it's no longer protected speech?
Call your local representative. Fuck this bill stifling civilian antifascist action.
Revoke my Soros cheque if old.
In another smack to freedom of expression, the GOP are planning to create an offence that carries a significantly higher penalty than if the person was unmasked.
The "Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018," legislation introduced in the House, carries a potential 15-year prison sentence for those caught engaging in behaviors typically associated with the "antifa" movement of anti-fascist activists.
Under the act, anyone "wearing a mask" or in disguise who "injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person … in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege" would be subject to a fine or up to 15 years in prison.
The bill was introduced in the House last month but received renewed attention on Tuesday after alt-right personality Mike Cernovich encouraged his followers to call their representatives and "let them know what you think" about the legislation.
