1. I'd cross the street if I saw someone wearing that walking toward me.

But only because I'd not want to get caught near the stupid. That shit might be catching.

2. So what? They are hooded sweatshirts and have around for many years.

My kids wore them 45 years ago.

8. It is tongue-in-cheek regarding this:

GERALDO RIVERA: Well, I have a different take, Brian, on that. I believe that George Zimmerman, the overzealous neighborhood watch captain should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law and if he is criminally liable, he should be prosecuted. But I am urging the parents of black and latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as George Zimmerman was.

9. Geraldo was,is,and always will be an ass.

17. that racist son of a bich...

This is the first time I knew he said that.

He just basically used the "deserved to be raped because of what she was wearing" canard
to make the victim responsible for what he was wearing.

Scary huh?

15. That is exactly the point...

hoodies are perfectly fine. The hoodie is an apparel item that a great cross-section of people wear on a daily basis.


Now we have a Fox contributor making them a scapegoat for a horrendous murder:

Geraldo Rivera: ... "But I am urging the parents of black and latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as George Zimmerman was."

19. I doubt anyone with an ounce of intelligence pays attention to Geraldo.

20. I paid attention... I guess I do not have an ounce of intelligence.

I also guess that you feel the same way about the other posters who have made OP's and/or commented on the situation in other numerous threads.

4. Added... sort of reminds me of this:

5. Bastardos!

It's the Faux News logo that's to blame for

6. I wear hoodies all the time and I'm a seventy-two year old woman.

They are warm and comfortable. Does that make me a gang banger? Should I worry about getting shot? I am Hispanic.

[demmiblue]

13. I do, too.

To me, hoodies are the jeans of outerwear.

I am flummoxed by this attention on hoodies by Geraldo, when such a large cross-section of people wear them (especially athletes of all ages).

14. I didn't know you packed heat, Cleita

Hi there Ms. Kitty.

7. Pssst ! L.L. Bean sells them too.

[cynatnite]

10. Fail! n/t

[Lint Head]

12. When I see a Fox reporter I don't cross the street I just puke.

They don't have to be wearing a hoodie.
