Hoodies are bad?

if we are to use the way Trayvon was dressed as a reason for him being killed, then we will have to say that those guyanese who love to show off their bling deserves to be robbed, or those teenagers who sport ipods and iphones deserve to be stabbed for them. (i say this because my very decent 17 year old neighbour was stabbed (almost fatally) last Friday for carrying an ipod ... 

exactly, those white earbuds are like bullseyes for thieves.

should we blame the victims for wanting to the use these devices.

The old saying goes that clothes make the man. Apparently to Geraldo Rivera, clothes also make a case for probable cause for any law officer or pistol-packing neighborhood-watch volunteer

someone should examine the pistol packer's clothes ....

Geraldo Rivera apologized Tuesday for blaming Trayvon Martin for his own death because he wore a hoodie.


“I deeply apologize for any hurt I caused,” the Fox News host said on Twitter.


Rivera’s comments on “Fox & Friends” last week touched off a huge firestorm. He defended them for days, insisting that black and Latino youths were asking for trouble if they wear hoodies.


But Tuesday, in an email to Politico, he said that “by putting responsibility on what kids wear instead of how people react to them I have obscured the main point that someone shot and killed an unarmed teenager.”[left][color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]

Ever since I was a teen I loved hoodies I used to wear them all the time and had a hoodie for pretty much any occasion. As I’ve got older my collection has slowly decreased and I only tend to wear them now when I’m lounging at home. But it got me thinking this week that hoodies seem to be a wardrobe staple for many people in that it’s pretty much what they always wear. While some hoodies can look terrible, with some clever layering they can be used for some creative outfits.

i own one hoodie and i dont wear the hood.

i think alot of you are lying.

if you see anyone at night that looks suspicious or hoodlum-esque (i am not trayvon was looking hoodlumesque cause i wasnt there) but when you do see the younger boys dressed like that - you cannot honestly tell me that your not a little apprehensive.

lol brampton is sounding like a scary place
