Photos of a man wearing a home-made Ku Klux Klan hood as he shopped at a suburban San Diego grocery store caused an uproar on social media over the weekend.
The unidentified middle-aged man, dressed in a camo T-shirt and cargo pants, was photographed Saturday evening in the produce section of a Vons store in Santee. Employees told him to remove the pointy hood, which he was ostensibly using to comply with face-mask requirements in San Diego County. “Several members of our team asked the customer to remove it, and all requests were ignored until the customer was in the checkout area,” said a spokeswoman for Vons

I see this as a politcal statement about the goobernment's fascist responce to the Panicdemic. As such, it should b considered protected political protest. Or, he was just showing his undying support for a historical Democrat poltical institution. Either way, its a poltical statement.

Comment there said: This is Trump's America. Assuming this idiot also donned his costume any time during 2008-2016 - we can also assume this is Obama's America. See - we have idiots all the time regardless of POTUS. And I sincerely doubt Trump approves any more or less than Obama did of such crass behavior. Now - let's check the record for other masked displays, like say...Antifa or BLM gatherings. I defy you to explain any difference in the purposeful intent to intimidate, insult and hurt. Like burning the flag, these acts are meant to be provocative - and they ARE protected by our Constitution. There are drawbacks to many of our guaranteed rights and freedoms. The ONLY response is to ostracize and shun these heathens as best we can. We are not always allowed to. But if he were clever - he'd go into a gay owned bakery and demand they bake him a cake.

I suggest that Governor Northam stop his silliness and get back to work in his home State, Virginia. Of course, it could be Justin Trudeau, in which case he ought to hightail it back to Canada.

I'm all for protesting our house arrest and intentional destruction of our economy. But this is not the way to convince people to join the cause. The lockdown is hurting all of us, don't make it racial.

The Klan hood is appropriate because the Governor is acting like the all powerful plantation owner

How about a mask with a little, funny moustache drawn in front...you know...to recognize where this pandemic has taken us.

Well there ya' go, the Klan moved to California. I know we didn't see them anymore in the south since the FBI infiltrated them and go rid of them. Chances are this is a democrat trying to start trouble.

Come on, people. Get a clue. The guy wore the hood as a FU to mandatory mask-wearing. It’s the same reason I’m searching for Trump 2020 masks, MAGA masks, Don’t Tread On Me masks, or anything Q. It’s saying, “Fine. You want a mask, I’ll give you a mask.” It’s hoping to force a retraction of the “guideline,” by wearing something offensive to the lockdown advocates.

He looked pretty casual to be a threat to the libs around him. Liberals are all too hyper-sensitive about symbols.

Calm down. It's a costume and we are all required to wear costumes now. So, if he had a Leatherface mask from Chainsaw Killer, or a Scream mask or a Hitler mask, those would be ok, or not? How about just the average panty hose robber mask? Just what are the rules now? Does everyone have to report to a block captain to get their regulation Green, worker's party, DNC, media approved mask? This is beyond BS. This is NOT Ebola level fatal. STOP IT.
The masks do nothing to stop the virus. They do a great job of outing every Fascist around us and are the calling card of former half wit lawyers who became big time overseeing politicians. Here is a clue, stop returning people with the virus to high risk nursing homes. Oh but then your death numbers wouldn't be as high as the next rat state and you would miss out on that sweet paper money from DC.
This run of the mill flu is the perfect make or break moment for a country educated by TV instead of school.

Frankly, I would feel safer around him than one of those women in a black tent. Who knows what is under those things.

The key to free speech is everyone has to have it. If you are offended take a good long time to determine why. If it turns out you just don't like it maybe you aren't an advocate for free speech after all.

He just wants to be an anonymous shopper. Nothing wrong with that. Those who are offended, lighten up, and be amused! Tougher times are ahead and a guy in a hood becomes insignificant.
