    There are active KKK chapters in NC. There is also a Proud Boys presence here (they’re known to wear masks).

    I wonder, will they be exempt from this? (I know the answer, of course. Republicans will protect their own.)

      This was actually discussed. The bill makes an exception for “members of a secret society demonstrating in public” as long as they get a permit from the police first.

        Of course. Good thing those that work forces and those that burn crosses are two entirely different groups and totally do not overlap.

          I was going to make a remark about how getting a permit must be really convenient, since you don’t even need to leave the office.
