Actually this is a hard one for the terrorist supporters to accept. Now they'll have to show their faces in public, all that's left for them to hide is on a forum or social media anonymously.

The counterargument is that students are potential victims of doxxing if their faces can be researched in social media. They can be shut out of jobs in finance and other business fields. This "fear" of masked students is a pretext, IMO.

Tell that to those cowards that deliberately use masks to hide their identity because of their support for terrorist's and committing illegal violence and flag burning and then spoil it for everyone else.

I think it's about time that this forum removes anonymity and puts everyone's real name and photo on here.

 

Words are mightier than swords... or something.

My photo has been on here more than a few times, along with map to my house ...

 

... where's yours at ?

 

And LA is my legal 'first' name.   Don't bother posting my last name, so won't have to change it, every time I 'do change it, legally'.  3X already, and aka by another last name.

“Freedom of speech and assembly are not only for the bold. Timid citizens also have a right to speak and assemble, without putting their jobs, their relationships, their relatives, and even their safety at risk. That is why we sometimes need anonymous assembly. And why masks sometimes ensure freedom.”

^^ Yes this, as mentioned before, Hamas supporters love it

Happening Now: Domestic terrorists wearing Hamas headbands are standing outside the US Armed Forces Recruitment Center in NYC calling for a “global intifada.” We need to clamp down on the extremists before they act on a global intifada.

Between cell phone pings and gait recognition cameras, anyone who thinks they're anonymous in public are fooling themselves, masked or not. 

 

And nowadays, there are for-profit companies scraping up all that information and selling it to companies that want to avoid hiring problematic employees.
