What Geraldo and Thomas are saying is that your choice of attire can lead people to have a wrong/bad impression of you. Although many will claim this is “un-fair,” contrary to what the liberals want you to believe, LIFE IS NOT FAIR - and no amount of social justice is going to correct this FACT!

MANY of the 7-11’s and local corner marts in Irving and Arlington (both cities between Dallas and Fort Worth) have signs that specifically state that you CANNOT wear your hood inside the store. Why? Because people steal things and use the hoodie to hide their faces from the cameras. So, while it is unfair to those who just wish to wear their hoodie, it is equally unfair (if not MORE so) to the the store owner who cannot stop repeat theft and may ultimately looses his store do to unrecoverable loses.

I told my kids, it isn’t fair, but teachers will judge you by the company you keep, until you proof them otherwise. Sorry, but that is a FACT, and you are not going to change it! So, either don’t hang out with the losers and malcontents or be extremely exceptional in your class work. Luckily my kids did not really want to hang with that crowd AND they had exceptional class work. I told them you are not going to change human nature, so you must work with the system to delineate yourself!

Not all thugs wear hoodies. Here in central Texas, Tuesday night, we a had one guy, still at large, who robbed 2 "stop and robs" and a restaurant using a handgun, Black guy, no hoodie...Bulls cap. One of those places was at the other end of the street that terminates at my driveway, 1.3 miles according to Google, but it seems closer. Dude fled on foot, lucky he didn't come up my way...for him, the 1911 is always loaded, but I think I'll go load the AR and/or the M1 Carbine. Another store was about 4 miles away and the restaurant was about 7 miles. He posed nicely for the camera at one or more locations.

On the 24th two AWOL soldiers robbed a convenience store. No hoodies reported, but they were wearing the same color, dark blue, t-shirts. One inbred looking guy named Hemphill, and the other with last name Cordova. Dumb asses were caught within a very short time, and only a couple of miles away, at most. They were driving a Mustang with a distinctive wide stripe on the upper surfaces. Didn't think about the surveillance video and the distinctive wheels. I hope their first shirt literally tears them each a new one after the make bail on the civil charges.. if they make bail that is. Currently they are in the same jail as that Jihadi bastard who killed 14 here a couple of years ago. He's in there because the Army doesn't have the facilities in the stockade to care for his paralyzed ash.
