News from the Police State - the war against burquas...correction, hoodies

[longeyes]

All in a good cause, right?--even if questionably Constitutional.  (And, no, I don't support it.)

Wear a yarmulke, goto jail.  This could get interesting.

From the comments:

Violent gang members don’t kill people … hats kill people.

That’s why I don’t wear hats, I don’t want to commit suicide.

This is sure to help prevent crime at least eleventeen times more gooder than those awesome gun free zones!

I remember being quite sick once. Shivering from fever (and the snow outside), I didn't bother to pull my hood back down as I looked for a bottle of NyQuil at the local Safeway, a carton of orange juice and bottle of Sprite in my hand basket. An irate and very alarmed sounding woman behind the nearby pharmacy counter shouted at me, "Excuse me, you need to take your hood off now!" Not wanting to become the target of some anti-drug investigation, I pulled my hood down as the alarm raiser and two of her coworkers scornfully watched my every move on the way to the checkout.

I imagine they think they startled me and prevented my intended cold-blooded cold medicine robbery.

Note to self:

Move to LA.....open women's underwear store.....require all customers to shed clothing upon entry to protect inventory.

Treat them as the No Guns signs.  Don't do business with them and tell them why.

Authorities in california do something completely asinine.

A quote from a friend, about this, "What makes people think that a person who will shove a gun in your face and take your money cares about a hat law.  If you ask me Politicians and Government  officials are on the top of the creating better idiots list."
