New York State's anti-mask law was enacted in 1845. In 2010 the French ban face covering in almost all situations in public places. Denmark outlaws such practices in the context of public assemblies, such as demonstrations. Germany outlaws masks, etc, at public assemblies. Norway, Spain and Sweden outlaw face covering at public events, such as demonstrations. The rioters in H.K. should have to pay for damage they create.
