    OK so it is not being proposed in the USA, but this bill recently introduced in Canada is pretty interesting. Think about the people in our country who protest, but don't want their identity to be shown. Would you support this bill or not?

    I think its a good law, people should be able to know who you are. If you really wanna protest, you shouldn't care.

    I believe that if you truly believe in the cause, then you should have to face the consequences, even if that means losing your job or your reputation and status.

    This bill makes sense. Public safety is at the forefront of this bill, if a protest gets violent or other harmful/unlawful acts occur the persons the are held responsible will be able to be identified. But looking at it from the other side, people might want to conceal their identity at protests, or the masks are part of their protest(example Anonymous). If this bill passes people will be made, if it doesn't pass other people will be mad. Who is the Canadian government ok will making mad?

    This bill should be passed because if you're risking yourself by already being there, you should have to show your face. Also, if the situation ever turned violent, that person wouldn't get away with it because their face wasn't exposed so they could be identified.
  • Lauren Rommel on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think that this bill should be passed because the police should have the right to identify anyone who is protesting. If you want to protest, protecting your identity shouldn't be a major concern because you would want people to know who you are, and what you are speaking out against.

    I think if you are going to protest, you are there for a reason, that you strongly believe in, so you should not want to hide who you really are
  • Henry Black on 16 Feb 12
     
    It should be considered that this is a trade for security by means of liberty. Sacrificing freedom for a small degree of protection. If this bill passes, it could easily snowball to other things (this may be a bit of a reach) such as controlling what you can wear altogether just so that you can be identified at all times just in case you might be possibly considering intending to commit a crime.

    As said in earlier comments, I think that if you want to protest IN PUBLIC then the public has the right to know who you are. If you want you can protest in your house and no one needs to know who you are. But out side of you cant hide from the public if your are going to stand outside with a big sign and yell out things in front of people.

    I think this should be a bill that becomes a law.
  • melloney keller on 16 Feb 12
     
    I see it as your there or your protesting for a reason so why hide it. If your protesting you believe something is ether wrong or right so why hide your believes. If you don't want to be seen or noticed here's an easy answer don't go!
  • Dustin Gibson on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think that you should be able to wear a mask, because if you're protesting something that you believe in, or don't believe in, than it is a personal matter and you should be able to conceal your identity from the public.
  • awest520 on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think it might be better if you have to register to be part of a protest but to have the list sealed unless things get violent
  • Jordan Smith on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think that they should show there faces. Its there choice to go, so then show yourself, dont hide.

    It's sad that even their pay was cut to try to reduce the debt and it has caused the country to sink even deeper.
  • Alyssa BAscue on 14 Feb 12
     
    that would suck to get a pay cut, and the country sinks deeper is even worse.

    This confirmed that Josh Powell murdered his wife back in 2009, his children where getting to the age of talking about the event and he did not want to go to prison for his crime. He is a sick man

    This is horrible. The kids were innocent. What a sick man.
  • Alexis Daniels on 09 Feb 12
     
    i honestly cant believe people would do that to their kin. that is absolutely horrible and twisted.
  • Katelynn Hunter on 13 Feb 12
     
    What made it even worse was the social worker had called the police and the respondent said something along the lines of "we will respond to the actual emergency situations first and then get to your case"...It is sad because she did everything she was "supposed to do" and the children still died.

    Iranian Court Upholds Death Sentence for Software Designer:  is charged with "insulting the sanctity of Islam" and "corruption on earth," because his photo-uploading software was "used by a porn website without his knowledge" Pretty sad "justice system" in Iran.

    This shows exactly how uncivilized the middle east is and just how messed up their judicial system is!

    This is awful! The death sentence is a little much..

    the united nations should throw out a warning at these guys.

    Where is the UN.... I agree with Broxton... they should be doing more.
