D.C. Makes It A Crime To Wear Masks.
Holding U.S. flags and marching in orderly formation as they shouted "
Reclaim America!" the 100 or so white nationalists who demonstrated in D.C. last Saturday wore matching hats, pants, jackets — and white face masks.
And it was that last sartorial choice that attracted attention on social
media, where some people asked why the group — Patriot Front, an
organization promoting "American Fascism" and deemed a hate group by the
Southern Poverty Law Center — was able to get away with what seemed like a violation of D.C. law.
It's currently illegal in the city to wear a mask under a number of
circumstances, notably to avoid identification while engaging in illegal
activities. But the law, which dates back to 1982, also says mask-wearing is prohibited if the wearer intends to intimidate or threaten another person, or if they try to deprive someone of other rights guaranteed by law.
Virginia has a similar law on the books, which was tested last month, when a single person was arrested during a large pro-gun demonstration in Richmond.

DC跟周围那一大片地方就是什么有可能‘威胁国家安全’的都不能做，不仅不许带任何自卫物件，不许蒙脸奇装异服，不许装卫星天线解码器之类的，在公共地方甚至连门锁都不准装，可是满大街的坏蛋就拿个小刀随便打杀抢，出到郊区直接开货车连电线杆都偷走拿去卖钱了，也都没人管。
