minus-squareasaharyev [he/him]hexbear15arrow-down2·4 years agoWe should not be putting more people in jail during a pandemic. That's ridiculous. Hand out a mask at first offense, continue handing out masks on subsequent offenses. A punishment of a fine just means that it's legal for wealthy people, both fines and jail time will hurt the working poor the most. link
minus-squareasaharyev [he/him]hexbear8arrow-down2·edit-24 years agoBullying/harassing people into wearing a mask, and giving them the means to, will actually change peoples' actions. Fines, jail, and other punishments have shown to not be effective deterrents for many crimes, so what do they accomplish? Punishment. Nothing else. E: Not to mention that enforcement for fines and jail will be done by our incredibly racist police force. link
