Lawmaker chastised for wearing hoodie in Congress
First Published 30 minutes ago • Updated 25 minutes ago

WASHINGTON • Rep. Bobby Rush donned a hoodie during a speech on the House floor Wednesday deploring the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, receiving a reprimand for violating rules on wearing hats in the House chamber.

The Illinois Democrat spoke out against racial profiling and, as he removed his suit coat and pulled the hood on the sweatshirt he was wearing underneath over his head, saying "just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum."

i wish congress was that passionate about our fu*in freedom!!  This is why we are going down the toilet! What about NDAA what about the patriot act! what about the dictatorship in the presidency? What about the 16trillion dollar debt? what about the monopoly in corportions? what about the FEDERAL RESERVE ? What about the criminal wars? what about we get rid of all of you!!

Hooded sweat shirts have no style, just function. No worship of devils or voodoo involved. Really, I think it is ridiculous to peg a shirt as satanic or reason enough to evaluate a person's character. I'm wearing my hoodie right now and I am who I am and my hoodie is not going to turn me into a predator, have you lost all reason?!

You really must be kidding, right? I would never rob anybody and I've owned a hooded sweatshirt for the last fifty years! It is a great article of clothing for camping and yard work and so forth. Nobody should look at a hooded sweat shirt as a negative connotation. It is unfortunate that thieves and robbers wear them but that is all it is, unfortunate.
