Huh? That has nothing to do with what I said.

I'm just saying there is a big difference between rioting and protesting.

The title of this thread is, "10 Years in Prison for Masking Your Face in a Protest" which makes it sound like you could get charged for wearing a mask at a peaceful protest...that's not true. Only when a protest turns illegal or into a riot would the bill kick in.

The way I interpret the Bill and the way it's explained in the article basically says you can cover your face as long as it is a peaceful demonstration. You have to remove your mask once illegal acts are being committed.
