Anti-mask law imperative for Hong Kong

Black clothes and masks give these cowards the guts to do evil. They vandalize the airport, the MTR and governmental buildings, damage Hong Kong's Legislative Council and hurl Molotov cocktails at the police. Such acts go far beyond normal demonstrations. Their acts have already become violent crimes no matter in which country or under which judiciary system. Hong Kong's social order has been sabotaged, its rule of law trodden upon and its economy hard to be revived. More and more Hong Kong residents appeal for laws that ban protesters from masking, so as to prevent the situation from escalating. However, the appeal was strongly opposed by some opposition forces, which also reflects that such a law, if enacted, would be effective.
