sounds like rightwingers are making very poor attempts at trying to get religious face coverings banned, by being dicks while wearing barely recognizable attempts at those face coverings

It doesn’t sound like that to me at all. It sounds like antisocial people trying to avoid being identified while they commit antisocial and/or criminal acts, nothing more.

That you would read into this story some convoluted attempt to get burkhas banned says more about you than it does about them.
