Fucking South Carolina. How the shit is something that doesn’t conceal your face a mask??
He probably got charged because he pissed off a cop. Maybe try not cursing at them while they are trying to break up a fight that you are not even a part of.
“Just give up your right to free speech because cops can’t be trusted to respect your constitutional rights” is practical advice, but it’s not exactly saying anything good about cops.
Fuck off, I’m allowed to say what I want and fucking contempt of cop is not actually a law anywhere.
Cops should not have a pass but this law is beyond fucking stupid and clearly only put into place because the tough right wing are clearly special snow flakes that cannot anything they don’t agree with.
I actually just realized the right is always calling the left “snowflakes and weak” when the left is offended by the rights desire to force their morals on us. In reality the left does what the right is refusing to do, be tolerant.
Turns out every accusation is really an admission from the right.
Why the fuck are you defending cops persecuting people for swearing at them?
It’s a hood. I thought southerners liked hoods considering all the defending they do of the Klan.
When asked how common this charge is, Husted said she doesn’t know anyone who has represented someone on this type of charge and could hardly find a page of recent arrests on the public index.
“I’m shocked, as an attorney, I’d never heard of that kind of charge before. I immediately wanted to help because it’s just so ridiculous that someone would be charged with something like that,” Husted said.
Sounds like blatant selective enforcement of a law that only applies to people who commit contempt of cop.
Well, it looks like you can pull it up over your face. He just has it pulled down.
Edit: I’m not even defending mask laws. I don’t see how they could possibly be constitutional and disagree with them fundamentally. I just think this guy was clearly wearing something that covers his face. It’s a mask that he uses to cover his face.

Oh no, somebody call the police /s
Oh wait, I guess they did. I guess he’s lucky he wasn’t shot…
(I didn’t downvote you, I assume you’re playing devil’s advocate or the like)
A bunch of people were saying that it wasn’t even a mask, but it obviously is. His mom even said that he wears one to cover some scars he is embarrassed about. I was just pointing that out.
Also I don’t think mask wearing should be illegal. I think it’s a big government over reach. Maybe I’d be fine with an additional penalty for wearing a mask while committing a crime, or something like that, if you really wanted to go after masked people. No way you should be able to be arrested for that. I don’t think it would even hold up to court challenges as a viable law. I am confident that we will see these laws overturned.
