Mary Lim is a Nevada Probation Officer who deals with criminals every day. Lim told 360 News about Detectives sending her pictures of criminals wearing masks during robberies and other crimes, asking if she recognizes them. Masked criminals, easy bail laws, repeat offenders and courts clogged up has created the perfect storm for crime to explode in Las Vegas. Currently there are over 450 murder cases awaiting trial in Clark County Courts. And crime spiked even more following Sisolak’s mask mandates. Could you imagine before CV being allowed to go into a bank wearing mask and hoodie? Well it didn’t take long for criminals to figure that out either. Mary Lim told 360 News, “If I’m elected to the Nevada State Assembly I’ll introduce a bill that will make wearing a mask during the commission of a crime a crime itself. While Dems want to blame guns for crime I blame masks for the explosion in crimes. Criminals wearing masks has created a public safety crisis.” But Dems we spoke with refused to support such a law claiming public health concerns outweigh the temporary rise in crime. 360 News reached out to the sitting State Assemblywoman for District 34 Shannon Bilbray-Axelrod for her response. PSAN Representative John Abel told 360 News: “We have gun enhancement and gang enhancement charges available under Nevada law. We would need to read any such bill, but we support the concept of criminal enhancement charges for criminals who take advantage of CV mask mandates to rob and kill.”
