    I don't think she's a Canadian. I think he's an American white supremacist.

  6. Reads like an Onion story, but it does show the effect antiquated laws can have. What's weird is that it's a law from 1951. I knew Georgia kicked the klan out earlier than other states, but 1951 is ahead of all kinds of shit that made the entire south look like a nightmare. Even though things like segregation were happening all over the country, "The South" always gets the bill, exclusively. Oh well.

    While the law was aimed at the KKK, obscuring your face has always come in and out of legal status for all kinds of reasons. So it's kind of humorous that even in a case like this, where the governor is just trying to ensure cops et al don't make any stupid mistakes about masks, somebody digs down and finds a way to link it to the KKK. A-freakin-mazing

    Don't know about the rest of you folks , but if saw a dipshit wearing a Klan hat-----I'd figure he may have some sympathies for that organization. Could have made a simple protest by NOT wearing a mask. Of course he admits it was stupid. Many a dipshit apologizes when caught doing dipshit stuff. Sort of like criminals who say how sorry they are----AFTER they're caught.

    This average schmuck is assumed a racist for wearing a klan hood as a publicity stunt.

    But Governor Northam and Justin Trudeau can wear Klan hoods and Blackface and they are totally not racist...


    Things that make you go Hmmmmm

    when articles like that one are in the media, like the one above... then California enforces Masks on people, I can imagine some people Will use this article to make a statement of what these masked laws can bring about.

    From what I gather, In California it is not illegal to cover your face and hide your identity In public places, unless you are committing a crime. This is why ANTIFA were permitted to cover their face in Cali, so are Klan members. In Georgia they were not permitted to cover their faces.

    so it seems to me he was not committing any crime by California law. It has been like this since 1979 in California. Yet he was forced to remove it...

    Cali laws exist which make it LEGAL to cover your face, as long as you are not committing a crime. It has no laws in place against that hood or any other covering you choose to wear. He wasn’t committing a crime by wearing it. I personally wouldn’t opt for that covering. Many European countries ban covering your face, full face helmets, Balaclavas, Scarves and burkas, all treated equal and it is not permitted, with the exception of festive events in which costumes are part of the festivities. Left wing also started an anti mask league back during the 1918 pandemic in California. Apparently they are still alive and well in Cali.

    in Canada you can face Up to 10 years in prison for covering your face, the justification being that generally, when people do wear masks, gather in an unlawful assembly, they’re intending to do something more than just loudly advocate for a particular position on a particular issue. If you are Peacefully protesting something, you have no need to hide yourself.

    Yet another example of Police 'murder' perpetrated against a 'black' woman !!!

    'Sleeping while black': Family seeks justice for Breonna Taylor, killed in her bedroom by police

    May 14th 2020 1:23AM
    Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician (EMT) worker in the US state of Kentucky, was shot in her bed after midnight on March 13 by three police officers serving a "no-knock warrant", becoming another statistic in the long list of African-Americans killed at the hands of police. What makes the case unusual is that Taylor was a woman.

    And, of course, she was asleep.

    The incident is still being investigated and Taylor's family is suing Louisville Metro Police Department Officers Myles Cosgrove and Brett Hankinson and Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly alleging wrongful death, excessive force and gross negligence. According to the lawsuit, the police fired more than 20 rounds in the apartment. Taylor was hit eight times and pronounced dead at the scene.

    The officers were looking for a drug suspect who lived 10 miles away and was already in police custody, according to the Courier-Journal. Police said the suspect had used the address where Taylor lived with her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, to receive packages in the mail. No drugs were found in the apartment, and neither Taylor nor Walker has an arrest record.

    The warrant contained a "no-knock" provision, which allows police to enter a home without identifying themselves. Officers said they knocked on the door several times and "announced their presence as police who were there with a search warrant". But when no one came to the door, the police forced their way in and "were immediately met by gunfire", Lt. Ted Eidem said at a March 13 press conference. One officer was shot and wounded in the leg.

    The shot was fired by Walker, who, according to his lawyer, was licensed to have a firearm and fired in self-defence, believing the intruders were burglars. Walker has been charged with first-degree assault and attempted murder of a police officer.

    The department has declined to answer questions on the case, citing an ongoing investigation. No body-camera footage is available from the incident, since officers in the Criminal Interdiction Division, who conducted the search warrant, do not wear cameras, LMPD Chief Steve Conrad said. None of the officers involved have been charged in connection with the shooting.

    [​IMG]
    Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, filed the lawsuit in April in Jefferson Circuit Court. "Breonna had posed no threat to the officers and did nothing to deserve to die at their hands," the lawsuit reads. "Shots were blindly fired by the officers all throughout Breonna's home."

    The incident gained little national attention for weeks, as the country has been preoccupied with the coronavirus pandemic. Taylor's sister, Ju'Niyah Palmer, has been on social media posting pictures of her with her sister with the hashtag #JusticeForBre to call attention to the case. "I'm just getting awareness for my sister, for people to know who she is, what her name is," Palmer, 20, said to the Washington Post.

    Palmer said she hopes to get the message out that black women as well as men are victims of gun violence at the hands of police or self-appointed vigilantes.

    "It is literally just as equal. There's no difference."

    More attention came this week when the family hired prominent civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, who is also representing the family of Ahmaud Arbery, who was killed in February by one of two white men who stopped him on the street, suspecting him of a neighborhood burglary.

    "We stand with the family of this young woman in demanding answers from the Louisville Police Department," Crump said in a statement. "Despite the tragic circumstances surrounding her death, the department has not provided any answers regarding the facts and circumstances of how this tragedy occurred, nor have they taken responsibility for her senseless killing."

    Crump also believes the fact that Taylor is a woman is another reason why the case hasn't received much attention.

    "They're killing our sisters just like they're killing our brothers, but for whatever reason, we have not given our sisters the same attention that we have given to Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Stephon Clark, Terence Crutcher, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Laquan McDonald," Crump said. "Breonna's name should be known by everybody in America who said those other names, because she was in her own home, doing absolutely nothing wrong."

    Last fall another black woman, Atatiana Jefferson, was fatally shot in Fort Worth, Texas, by a police officer answering a non-emergency call about a door left open. Jefferson was babysitting her nephew at the time. The incident drew nationwide scrutiny and renewed demands for police accountability. In a rare outcome, the officer, Aaron Dean, was indicted for murder and is awaiting trial.

    [​IMG]
    Politicians and journalists, including Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Jemele Hill, have also taken up Taylor's cause on social media, calling for answers.

    "Breonna Taylor's family deserves justice," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday. "It is so dehumanising that Breonna's family & many others must launch public campaigns just to have victim's lives recognised & given the dignity of due process."

    "Have any of the police been arrested or charged?" Hill tweeted. "I think you already know."

    Crump says his information contradicts the claim by police that they knocked before breaking down the door to Taylor's home. "There are witnesses who are her neighbours. ... Nobody heard the police announcing themselves," Crump said Tuesday. "This was a botched execution of a search warrant where they already had the person they were searching for in custody."

    Family members, activists and supporters are demanding answers. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer on Tuesday posted on his Facebook page that he has asked LMPD Chief Conrad for an investigation into the case.

    Taylor's aunt, Bianca Austin, said her niece had dreams of becoming a nurse and buying a home with Walker. Taylor was on the frontlines as an essential worker fighting Covid-19 before her death. "She had a lot of plans," Austin said. She said it was tragic that her niece "died like that in the comfort of her own home by people who she works alongside with every day."

    I read that in the newspaper and couldn't believe it.

    When the cops were fired at what they should have done was retreat, not fire blindly into someone's residence which could have housed innocent people including relatives, children and pets.

    Very sad. Is this suppose to be a target on black people? Racist?

    As a woman, lines like this I find irritating. It is BS virtue signalling and it is offensive to women. Marginalizing women. It is ridiculous and is done for political reasons that are imaginary. Crump believes? Who is crump? Crump is making many false claims.

    oh I just looked up Crump. Lol. He is a civil rights cases. They ought to find a new lawyer. A competent one, He also had a reality tv show that was cancelled after 2 episodes. He creates a media circus around whatever he does and seems to drop out of cases as well. Yep media whore. He also investigated who killed Tupac for a mini documentary,

    Pretty sure the reason it has not received much media attention is because media sources have been busy creating hysteria over corona virus. Life as we know it ceased to exist.
