22-year-old Jared Alexander said he was wearing a hoodie at a Boynton Beach mall when a security officer asked him to take the hoodie off.
When he refused, other security officers showed up. Alexander said, “Why are you guys harassing me? I’m not stealing. I’m not going to take my hoodie off.”
After a few minutes, he says, he had to go to work and so he left. He was met outside by police. Alexander says they handcuffed him and questioned him.

Uniforms is the solution.
Or hiding weapons, which is the whole reason the baggy clothes first came into play.
Wear a hoodie in 90+ degree heat, in Florida and you wonder why? He should be suspect and being that ignorant is even more reason.
Profiling? Good, it’s exactly what we need to do and get rid of the PC BS.
I’ve seen a couple of stores with a sign reading “If you enter wearing a hoody the police will be called.” (Passive construction, but the sentiment is there.) Many robberies are conducted by hoody wearers. That’s just a fact. I’m certain that if in 1890 people went into banks wearing a handkerchief over their faces they’d be shot instantly.
Al Sharpton: Blacks should boycott Disney World!
Disney Executives: Pleaze Brer Sharpton, don’t throw us in dat dere briar patch.
When I go into a bank in my lily-white suburb, there is a sign asking customers to remove baseball caps and sunglasses. Since I just about always wear a baseball cap and shades in the summer, I occasionally find myself temporarily taken aback, but comply. Someone needs to tell them that Whitey Bulger ain’t getting out.
So he had visited the mall just for a few minutes to provoke a confrontation? Or to use the bathroom?
whatever happened to “If you see something say something”
someone wearing heavy gear in the heat of summer used to be merit a DHS warning .. try wearing a hoodie into a bank
LOL! My teen daughter and I have had many discussion about this and she knows her limits- not that she doesn’t challenge them sometimes.
It is hard when everyone around her seems to have no modesty standards and most of the teenage clothes are provocative
Last week we were at an ice cream stand when a car with couple teens dressed like baby whores and their whore-dressed tattoo Momma in shorty short Daisy Dukes pulled up for ice cream - my DD watched the reactions of the men in the parking lot who oogled this clan and got embarrassed for them
after they bought ice cream they pulled over to end of parking lot- and parked in front of dumpster below big sign that said “Trash Only”
daughter and I shared a big laugh over that
It’s funny that the women are wearing as little as possible - and if asked, would just say, “It’s hot out!” or “This is comfortable!”, not “I want everyone to stare at my butt.”
Meanwhile, the guys are dressed in winter clothes, including knit ski caps.
“two bolts in her nose”
I have a friend who sez these types,” “Look like they fell face 1st into a tackle box”
"But officer...."It be cold in dem malls."
If they allow muzzie women to wear burqas, why not blacks wearing hoodies? Burqas are a religious symbol and we all know hoodies are religious symbols to blacks. Certainly that would not be considered racist.
There is a “hood” in hoodie after all.
It’s been the preferred fashion statement for robbers and assassins for centuries...
When did dubious fashion sense become criminal? If that’s the case, Hillary Clinton would be a felon. And Elton John would have been guilloutined decades ago.
I believe if you walked into a bank with a ski mask on, they might ask you to remove it or leave...

My wife won’t let me out in public (not that I every really go anywhere anyways) because I have started to openly laugh at those people where they can hear it. I don’t say anything, just laugh and shake my head. I have had a few turn and say something to which I just keep laughing. The rest just shoot me a look and keep on their way talking under their breath.
