Frankly I think the morons squealing about hooded sweatshirts are just as pathetic as the democrats. They’re standard winter wear around here and I’m not about to freeze because some cowards want to dance to the leftist tune.

I wonder what the winter is like in Sanford, Florida.

I just saw a sign in an airport that says "What's wrong with this picture?"

It shows a guy texting, and then another guy, WITH A HOODED SWEATSHIRT and a back pack, getting ready to board a train. The message was to stop, look around, and think.

I don't know who sponsored the sign, didn't have time to stop and look at that, but found it amusing that even the government, unknowingly, realizes that a hooded sweatshirt can be used to hide your face. Think of all the Robin Hood movies you've seen where Robin or one of his merry band disguises himself as a hooded monk.

It's hell to be a rational person in this country today.

Yes, that is the real reason to wear a hoodie, however, there are others. They make great concealment from video cameras and witnesses when one is committing a crime.

Clothing can be a signal and it can be useful to criminals. A relative of mine managed a retail store, and she knew when someone entered the store all covered up with a large coat and wearing baggy pants (in the scorching heat of summer), that they were shoplifters.

As the old saying goes, “Clothes make the man.”
