When did wearing a hoodie become less of a "fashion" statement and deemed more of a threat? Since there has been an upswing of crimes committed with people wearing hoodies. I have nor have I ever had a hoodie. The reason is simple - I just don't like clothing hanging around my neck. Fancy jeweled necklaces is a different matter altogether!
It seems like every night on the news, there has been a crime committed with video showing a person fleeing the scene wearing a, you guessed it, a hoodie. You can pull them down to hide your face, which is what the "bad" guys seem to do. Of course, those "bad" guys only wear dark hoodies. I have yet to see on television a crime being committed by someone who is wearing, for example, a red hoodie with a snow flake pattern. Just saying.
We have a neighborhood electronic bulletin board and someone has posted that a man wearing a hoodie, was looking in the windows of her house. Okay, I'll admit that freaked me out a bit. I always keep my front door locked, my car locked and my garage door down. Even having done all of that, if I saw somebody looking into the house, I admit I would be scared. Of course, Bella and Daisy create a lot of noise when they "think" (i.e., hear) there's something going on outside. While they're not big dogs, I admit to feeling protected just by having them in the house.
According to Google, over one million hoodies are sold each year here and abroad. Oklahoma is trying to pass a bill that would make it illegal to wear a hoodie in public that hides your identity. Penalty - $500. Hoodies are now receiving nearly as much negative publicity as owning a pit bull.
Sounds like if you're visiting Oklahoma, better leave your hoodie at home.
