5. If someone gives you shit about your mask...

just stare at them. That's all you have to do. You don't have to say anything, or do anything else. Just stare at them, showing no expression in your eyes. Stare at them until they get so uncomfortable that they have no idea what to do, and they shut up and walk away. Take one step back for every step they take toward you. Remain completely silent. Even if they yell. Just stare them into submission...it works.

If they are completely nuts and pull your mask off or something, then the story changes. If someone did that to me (which most likely would not happen), I'd knock them out because I would view that as battery, and I should be able to defend myself.

I think you could make a good case in court for self-defense if someone did that to you. But fortunately, I think those cases would be rare.

I believe...no violence unless you are physically fucked with. No games, no tricks, just stare them down. People who would give you shit about wearing a mask are mentally weak anyway...all it takes is dead silence and a stare to confuse them.
