Ever notice how many protesters have their faces covered? This is true all over the world, including here in the U.S. Yet we have freedom of speech. If I’m expressing beliefs and opinions I truly believe in, why don’t I want people to see my face? If I’m hiding my identity because I’m doing something illegal, like smashing the store windows of people not involved in what I’m protesting against, and if I think that’s the right and moral thing to do, I should stand up to be counted–and let everyone see your face.
I understand the cover-up in countries where the regime will arrest and execute me just for speaking out, but not here in America. Come on, protesters, let’s see your proud, righteous faces as you sling that brick.
