What is the stigma of hoodies?

I don't personally wear them but I am not aware of any negative stigma attached to them. Is it a criminal thing?

I think "tough guys" like to wear them. Or people that want others to think they are "tough guys" wear them.

All I know is that my bank has a sign up, No hats, hoodies or sunglasses.

I have transition lenses and they have never said anything to me, but I have heard them ask people to remove their hats, sunglasses.

I wear a sweatshirt all the time that has a hoodie, doesn't mean I am or trying to be a tough guy, more like the exact opposite. I'm always cold lol.

Yep. I wear one for my pre dawn walks and the hood helps when the morning chill is a bit too much for my shaved head. grin

Hoodies deserve their stigma that they have gained, both good (relaxed) and bad (sloppy and unprofessional).

When thugs stop using hoodies to hide their face when committing crimes this stigma might stop. Of course they would rather stupid to do that. Better to force everyone to ignore the guy wearing a hoody on a hot night; as it might just be a style statement.

God it is hard to see how liberals can hold a job. They have no common sense whatsoever.

Did this happen in Seattle? You must be taking your data from the Obama school of counting. 57+ states and 425 days a year. Neat trick.

Umbrellas are for sissy boys and Packers fans.

So what you're saying is that there is an abundance of umbrella users in Seattle?

I got airlocked in a bank lobby recently while out of town.

Walked through outer doors, tried inner, they were locked. Bunch of people in there. Turned around to leave and the outer doors were locked too.

Either someone was paying attention, or they had a metal detector. Manager-looking type came up to the glass, pointed to my Hi-Power and the No Guns sign. I shrugged my shoulders at him, and waited for him to let me out. Took my business elsewhere.

Honestly you are kinda lucky you got off just with being closed down. Sounds like the manager had some common sense. I can totally see a lot of managers totally flipping out if you walk in with a gun and there's a no gun sign.

If they had a neighborhood watch captain you'd be dead! Rightfully so. They did have a sign.

It isn't. We are talking about Packers fans now coming out of the closet since we took the Packer's best quarterback. They carry umbrellas while walking their poodles. I expect that like most Packers fans they will join the local gay pride activities.

Appendix (1 o'clock). Hip is more vulnerable to grabs, uncomfortable in the car, hard to draw with off-hand, and slower.

It did creep me out at first having it pointed at my junk and/or femoral artery. Enough that I carried chamber-empty (still cocked and locked) until I decided that the safety wasn't going to disengage randomly or something.
