    They did this in Ukraine right before the shit hit the fan for real, too.

    The pro-Russian ruling party at the time was cracking peaceful protestors’ skulls, so they started wearing helmets. And then, the helmets became proof that they were up to something violent somehow, and they tried to make helmets illegal. Within about a month it was street battles, fireworks and small arms and bow and arrows.
