This is not about political speech... aren't activists, they're antagonists. Hiding their identities behind masks so that they can menace their fellow Americans with impunity.
A proposed mask ban gaining traction in New York after incidents like masked protesters chanting 'Raise your hand if you're a Zionist.' Protesters masked at rally against Nova music festival also criticized as antisemitic.
A mask ban gives NYPD an excuse to stop and harass people, enabling arrests at whim. Not about safety but controlling unpopular political views' bodily autonomy.
