Former Black Panther Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Illinois, made quite a fuss when he donned a "hoodie" in the U.S. House until he was escorted out. At the time, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, "applauded his courage" for doing so. Meanwhile, back home in Rush's district, two men wearing hooded sweatshirts, or "hoodies," were the shooters in an incident that left one dead and five injured.

A congressman was removed from the House floor Wednesday after giving a speech about Trayvon Martin while wearing a hoodie.

In fact, during a span of six-hours Thursday night, 13 people were shot, leaving two dead in Chicago. The two men in hooded sweatshirts were identified as the shooters in the single more significant incident. It would seem it takes more courage to simply walk down the street in Rush's district, than it does to wear a hooded sweatshirt in the House of Representatives by way of a stunt in a bizarre tribute to a young man shot and killed in Florida during a shooting incident still under investigation.

13 shot, 2 dead in Chicago in six hours Thursday night

The worst shooting occurred around 6 p.m. Thursday when two men in hooded sweatshirts opened fire inside a convenience store in the 1400 block of West 79th Street in the Gresham neighborhood, police said.

One man was killed and five others were wounded. The victims ranged in age from 16 to 24. The gunmen fled in an SUV and police continued searching for them this morning.

There's also another report on that particuar incident here.

Try August in deep southeast Texas.

Of course they are just keeping warm, there couldn’t possibly be any other motive because we all know “Da be good boys. Da be getting their lives turned around”.

Rush is too busy sticking his nose in the affairs of my State to notice what's going on in his own backyard.

ou want to make a sweatshirt something nasy to"represent' some kid with a "tude'

Okay, the hoodlums hijacked your sweatshirt style. Face the fact gracefully. They steal a lot of things, actually. FReepers are just noticing reality. So are the fat-butt, drug-addled, wrinkled old rads like Bobby Rush who want to feel masculine again by donning mugger-wear.

I'll bet some dignified gentleman was ticked off when millions of teenage girls bought saddle shoes in the 1950s, and they became part of the uniform of screaming Elvis fans.

Perfect!

Remember folks, both of these are “truths” at the same time in the liberal world:

1) It is evil and foul to show any picture of Trayvon Martin in his “hoodie”, as it reinforces the stereotype of a “hoodie” being part of the cool-weather uniform of a young black criminal.

2) Young blacks everywhere should wear “hoodies” whenever possible to show whitey that “hoodies” are unthreatening, normal attire for young law-abiding black males.

I feel very bad for Zimmerman and I seriously wonder if he’ll ever be able to return to normal life. He effectively has a fatwa against him.

But putting Zimmerman aside, this issue might be the single most explosive anti-Obama issue to hit 2012 so far.

This is going to seriously backfire in the faces of the left, the media, the dems and the Obama campaign.

Is there a collection being taken for Zimmerman, to help him with expenses while he hides from the pitchfork lynch-mobs of the left? If there is, I want to donate to it.

Check, check, and... check.

These photos of Trayvon definitely don't resemble the one on the cover of People magazine. Freepers know the deal, but the average American has no idea that Trayvon Martin was a tall 17-year-old with a drug problem and an attitude. This is a tragic story that has been managed and twisted by the Left and their “useful idiots” to further divide this nation and help their cause. Does anybody care that George Zimmerman thought he was helping protect a neighborhood and, as far as we can tell at this point, used his weapon only in self-defense?

Hoodie wearing murderers running rampant? This the new flash mob?

But where’s the tatoo on his left arm?

I can’t see it, not even a hint of it.

Did he get that thug stamp in the last nine days of his life?

[chris37]

Where is it?

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.

Fight the hoodie! Or celebrate the hoodie!? I’m confused.
