Holy crap! I'm wearing a black hoodie RIGHT NOW!
How do you wear a hoodie in a certain way that makes you a criminal?
I was wearing a hoodie this morning. Thank God Zimmerman wasn't around.

That's easy; all you have to be is black.
Did I say it makes one a "criminal"?How do you wear a hoodie in a certain way that makes you a criminal?
Good for you. I was too.I was wearing a hoodie this morning. Thank God Zimmerman wasn't around.
Supposedly there's an eyewitness or two stating that Treyvon was on top of Zimmerman, beating him, prior to the gunshot. If this is true, it tends to support the SD claim and makes the whole "its because he was black in a hoodie" issue rather irrelevant.

That's the thing, the woman who made the 911 call said she couldn't tell who was yelling for help. It is best to let the law sort it all out instead of these games we play.
But I will say this.
If you are wearing a hoodie this way, you just might be a criminal.
Those aren't hoodies, those are ski masks, and at any rate what's threatening about that picture is the fact that they are POINTING GUNS AT SOMEONE.
Uh, they are hoodies, on backwards with eye holes cut out.rof
Could you please provide a link to this information?
Witnesses told ABC News a fist fight broke out and at one point Zimmerman, who outweighed Martin by more than 100 pounds, was on the ground and that Martin was on top.
Geraldo is a retard.

On the one hand, it's outrageous to suggest that a woman wearing a short skirt (or whatever) should have to change the way she dresses to avoid being a victim. On the other, if a rapist is targeting short skirts, it's also sensible not to wear them.
I'm not a fangirl, but that's pretty harsh. He's a mixed-bag like most of us. I heard him putting forth the hoodie theory yesterday morning and thought immediately about the Brooklyn rapist and how neighborhood groups were outraged that the cops had suggested that women not wear short skirts because they were a commonality among victims.

Geraldo was saying that not wearing a hoodie would be sensible. That's his opinion, and he did say in advance that he realized things shouldn't be this way. But, in his opinion, wearing a hoodie is "asking for it."
You're right; it is "blaming the victim." On the other hand, he may be right. He also said that he's told his dark-skinned young son (his words) why wearing a hoodie at certain times and in certain places is dumb.
I'm not saying that it's right or fair that a short skirt or a hoodie or whatever can be a provocation. But perhaps it is. Not everybody is sane or reasonable. It's not fair that a woman can't go into a bar alone the way a man can. It's definitely not fair. But reality is what it is, and if I'm going to a bar, I'm not going alone.
We have had rapists in our community rape a 5 year old girl and we had rapists rape a 91 year old lady. I don't think it matters what you are wearing or what you look like to some rapists. Perhaps it would be sensible for women to just have their vaginas sewn shut.

Geraldo is a Libertarian. He is anything buy liberal. He's far more aligned to your whack job party than anything else. And of course, he works for your favorite Kool Aid Stand. Fake News.
