Me too.

Lol. It is sort of humorous, but don’t you think the guy would stand out in a crowd?

Wearing a burka means that you won’t get stopped at the door! If he was, he would have said it’s was discrimination! What a great country! sarc

The politicians who won’t ban the burka are responsible for the crime.

Try walking into a bank with a mask on your face. They call the cops. Try walking into a bank with a burka on your face. They fall down in submission.

This country is in deep doodoo.

We knew it had to happen sooner or later.

My bank has a sign asking you to take off your sun glasses.

Come on, it isn’t the burka that’s the problem- it’s the person wearing it.

“burqa crimes”...that’s right, inanimate objects don’t commit crimes (as in guns, SUVs, etc.)

I should say “man or woman wearing a burqa”. They said they didn’t know if it was a man or woman in the robbery pictured above. From the look of the eyes it reminds me of a terrorist photo.

Of course people can walk around wearing a burqa without causing suspicion, unlike someone wearing a ski mask, rubber mask, stocking over head, etc. Now one of the local banks here in Virginia has a notice on the door requiring the removal of hat and/or sunglasses before entering.

Maybe there should be a waiting period for burkas.

I’m thinkin’ that is a great point for discussion. Or perhaps- all US jurisdictions fully support the proscribed Second Ammendment Rights, afforded by God. Yep, the discussion is coming first. Good.
