Hoodies Or Loonies, Take Your Pick.

This young person was in that time period between manhood and childhood, at 17. So why was he killed? He was from a good family and was well liked. But why was this between-hood person killed? He was walking through a nice neighborhood. But why was this young person killed? He was wearing a hood-ie. Ahh, now it all makes sense. He was a 17 year old black young man returning to his uncle's house with some candy, walking through a nice neighborhood wearing a hood-ie. We can presume the hood was up. And, that this Hood was up to no good. Now it's true that a substantial number of people who commit robbery and burglary wear hood-ies. It's true that a substantial number of people who commit these crimes are black males. But it's also true that a substantial number of teens, boys and girls, wear hood-ies. And it's also true that a substantial number of these teens don't commit such crimes. In fact there's an even larger number of these folks who never commit any crime. Even though they have, on occasion, worn hood-ies. But according to at least one preacher-man and at least one journalist-man, why, hey, he was wearing a hood-ie. So it must be true that if you wear a hoodie, you must be a criminal intent on doing crime. Maybe, maybe, the answer is to outlaw hood-ies. No more crime, case closed. See, it wasn't the laws that permits loon-ies to carry guns in public and to follow, confront and face down anyone who has the temerity to wear a hood-ie or display any trait our loon-ies dislike. That's not the problem at all. Carrying and using a gun doesn't cause people to get killed, hood-ies cause people to get killed. Especially if they're in the wrong neighborhood. Gosh, you don't suppose that if we outlaw hood-ies, people would be able to stop carrying and using guns, do ya? Why even states could rescind their laws on carrying guns to church and the corner pub. But that would be bad for the gun business.  Maybe we're better off the way we are. Well at least Smith and Wesson will be better off. And if you have Colt stock, you'd be better off too. Just ask the NRA.
