Halibut Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 They choose not to because they will lose their jobs for doing something that is not against the law. Can you provide any examples of people who've lost their jobs as a result of peaceful political protest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Can you provide any examples of people who've lost their jobs as a result of peaceful political protest? No but I could provide examples of people who've lost their jobs as a result of peaceful political membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmith Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Of extremist organisations whose raison d'etre is to promote hatred. No, just legal political parties, ironic isn’t it that in a democracy one can still lose ones job for being a member of a recognised political party.

Bypassblade Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 There may be a niche for face-painting stalls at riots from now on then So they all end up like Kenny, from Phoenix Nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie n ear Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I assume it relates to anything that is used to conceal the identity of those in unlawful protest. So does this apply to burka's and other items of religious dress that conceal identity? No, but according to the link proof must be provided that you are covered for that reason.

Phanerothyme Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The reason they want to make face masks illegal is to allow the mass collection of personal data using facial recognition technology. It's not about individual LEO's clocking a perp, it's about building up databases of bulk information on citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The wording of the thread title is confusing. ? Like: What you wearing to the riot mate? Oh I dunno. Usual clobber When's the next riot anyways? Well we have two scheduled. Ottawa Dec 6th at 2:00 PM and Toronto Dec 10th at 4:00 PM. Sorry no masks allowed this year but nose covers and ear muffs okay if temps are minus 25 or below on those days We apologise to those who have traditionally chosen to wear masks. However we assume absolutely no responsibility for those of you who nevertheless decide to start fires, smash shop windows, do a little looting, assault police officers and urinate on the sidewalks. If you are later identified that's your problem Our Chairman Alf Snott meanwhile is working to get the ban on masks rescinded. As Alf recently stated "This is oppressive big brother government at it's very worst" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parvo Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Personally I find the masks threatening......in fact I find anyone covering their face threatening or at least disconcerting... though I can understand why people protesting peacefully might not want to be filmed...and yes I know of people in the eighties who were warned by employers after peaceful protest......
