3. I'm reminded of an animated TV scene

It was most likely Family Guy but I could be wrong, where a Ferris Wheel breaks loose and is rolling down the street. How I want this one to suffer the same fate.

2. I want to know why they call themselves wizards.

Like they're playing Dungeons & Dragons or something.

4. they're cowards

and they're afraid to put their name/identity on the line as being directly associated with those horrible beliefs.

7. The Whole Time

In their entire history, they knew what they were doing was against the law and they needed the deniability of those head coverings to avoid jail time.

They might disagree with the law, but taking the law into one's own hands because you disagree with it is still a crime.

They knew that, hence, they were always afraid of being ID'd.

5. Blankets are too heavy. And going nude would be ungodly

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. Sheets are cheap. And everybody has one. nt
