I don't agree it's racial, but I think is a baaad idea.
Unbelievable! Are they going to fine old white women who were those ‘hoodies’, which is nothing more than a sweatshirt jacket with a zipper and a hood.
While the murderers buy a different jacket and kill people.
Brilliant idiots. (s)
Here in Oklahoma we get some winners in the state legislature.
We had another winner year ago, John Monks who was drinking from a coffee cup marked as fine china. He complained that manufacturing jobs were leaving the USA for China.
Nice gun ban parallel lurking there.
In my town wearing a hoodie, mask, or any other kind of face cover,into the wrong store could get a 38 caliber round heading your way. Just takes a few incidents of hoodlums trying to hide in their clothing to make folks jumpy. Let’s see who pushes their luck and tries for the whole 500 bucks? For my own part you do not want to sneak up on me-—be standing tall and spouting ya’ll or your attitude could get quickly adjusted-——Semper Fi
This is a fine idea as long as it is only in effect from late April till mid September. And a blanket exemption for people in small towns out feeding cattle, hunters and such.
Louisiana had a mask ban meant to target the KKK. Has an exception for parades.
Okay then what are those things called that terrorists wear to conceal their identity? Balaclavas?? Only can see the eyes. So you wear one when it’s bitterly cold and get arrested? Oh, only hoodies - we’re safe. BTW we have several balaclavas in our family.
One of my favorite pieces of clothing is a hoody made by Dickies.
I don’t agree it’s racial, but I think is a baaad idea.

I agree with you. I’m 72, white and have a hoodie that I wear when running errands during cold windy days or when it’s drizzling rain. Many other non-black folks here in North Central TX do the same.
Simple solution is just to require that people take the hood off of their heads when inside any store/business.
