Are you seeing more than the ususal amount of people wearing hoodies? [View all]

[Stinky The Clown]

I was out and about earlier today, which included a stop at the Mall. I was in a store, waiting to be helped. I engaged in conversation a woman who was just ahead of me in line. She was my age, maybe a few years younger (I am a geezer). She had on a hoodie. It was cool here today, so a hoodie was actually appropriate, but not pulled up inside the always-70-degree Mall.

We were in a store that sells (relatively) high value small items that are easy to steal, and commonly are. We talked about that for a bit. The conversation got around to the Trayvon Martin case ( I kinda steered it there, but not in too obvious a way.)

Yup, she was not a normal hoodie wearer. She was wearing hers with the hood up as a statement.
