So because gang members are known to wear hoodies when committing a robbery, everyone wearing a hoodie is suspect?
Please don't tell me you're this naive in real life.
This whole hoodie thing took on a life of its own as a convenient symbol to go along with skittles and iced tea. Just as with tm being black, gz didn't even mention a hoodie until he was asked what the person was wearing. He also said a dark or grey sweatshirt, sweats or jeans, and white sneakers. Where's the Million White Sneakers March.
'Beat all to hell' to describe gz is as accurate as 'past history of criminal violence' to describe gz. Both accurate. On a spectrum of being beaten or having a phocv, there are people much worse.
What does "phocv" mean? Oh, okay. "past history of criminal violence"...
I am sorry, but wearing a hoodie hood up into a store is just not necessary and can draw someone to "suspect you".
It is no different than wearing a mask inside.... People will be suspicious.
To say that hoodies in general when fully on don't draw suspicion to someone is just not factual.
Well, maybe I just don't hang out with the paranoics. I don't think a hoodie up is "suspicious". It is plenty different than wearing a mask. One's face is still visible.

Everyone covering their heads with hoodies, ski masks etc etc in a weather conditions and situation that does not warrant it is LOOKING suspicious.
Geraldo Riviera made an excellent point: you don't want your kids to be mistaken for a gangsters don't let them dress like gangsters.

Sure. The wave of crime in the us is just a figment of our imagination. A
No, but if I worked in a convenience store, I would be a bit nervous/suspicious if someone came in with a hoodie on, especially in the summer.
No reason the hoodie couldn't be dropped upoon going inside. It used to be customary for men to remove head gear when entering a building. Still is in the military, where custom and common courtesy last much longer.

Only from the front.
Not from either side
