I agree. I think they are scary looking and more than once I felt uncomfortable and spooked out. You really never know who it is and it can be a terrorist.

You may find this interesting.

#6, this mall apparently has no such sign. And in NJ it probably couldn’t have such a sign, since in that state the courts have ruled (astonishingly, and in my view unconstitutionally) that privately-owned malls are public places in which constitutional rights apply.

#3, NJ has no anti-mask law. In any case, anti-mask laws are probably unconstitutional, though the courts have been ambiguous on this and the Supreme Court has so far not taken such a case. But the Supreme Court has explicitly upheld the right to anonymous speech, so there’s a good chance that if these laws ever come up on appeal they will be struck down or severely curtailed.

If I walked into a store with a ski mask, I’d be surprised if they didn’t alert security. Don’t these Arabs ever get sick of playing the victim??

Try getting into a bank today wearing that! Good luck! My bank has a sign posted that you cannot enter wearing SUNGLASSES!

She’s not right, if my religion poses a security risk and on top of that it requires me to wear a full costume- as a person with security interests myself, I would show my face.

She’s completely wrong. There are laws against wearing mask in public.

She is completely right. That being said I saw 3 women dressed in the same garb in the grocery store the other day and it scared the heck out of me and I froze. Call me intolerant if you must.
