When hoodies are outlawed, only outlaws will have hoodies.

Does this epidemic of epic stupidity have some kind of conclusion, or is it forever?

“The chief also asked that parents go through their teenagers’ closets and cars to see if they own any hoodies. Even if they are not committing a crime, kids wearing the outfits could put themselves at risk of being mistaken for criminals by police, Garrett said.

“I don’t want anybody to get hurt, the child or the police officer,” Garrett said. “But that’s going to happen at some point if this doesn’t slow down.”


I was following the story pretty well until I got to the weird threat, I don’t want any one killed or injured because of their sweat shirts.

Mobile has a mask ordinance that outlaws people covering their face in public outside of Mardi Gras activities.

I wonder if they apply this to the Mahometan brood mares?

What is next from these clowns?

Registering sewing machines?

I am really doubting that Law Enforcement truly values freedom.

This is the next step, after they outlawed pantyhose.

Now that we don't see this kind of thing any more, it is "special hoodies" coming under fire.

Back in the—well, never mind which decade—I read a science fiction story in which part of the premise was that it was customary for people to wear masks in public as a matter of privacy due to all the video surveillance equipment in use. Guess he was half right. We've got the surveillance.

"There is a hoodie garment that seems to be motivating people to do a lot of things they otherwise wouldn't."

Let's see, Guns kill people, SUVs kill people, and Hoodies motivate people to do bad things!

When did AI get so common? I missed it somehow.
