Teens wearing hoodies = criminals?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...612362,00.html

What a bigot. I cannot believe the ignorance of that article. I wear hoodies all the time and know so many people that do the same - none of them are criminals, and I've only ever seen them wear the hoods up when it's stupidly cold or raining like a mother. I can't believe that anyone in the media, especially the times, would make such vague and impressionistic generalisations, and be so prejudiced, offering stereotypes as proof of a preconcieved belief. The sheer lack of professionalism is just astounding.

But to hear that they aren't letting anyone into bluewaters simply because they are even WEARING a hooded sweatshirt, I think is rediculous. Even if you've not got the hood up, you can't go in - They SELL hoodies in the store, yet they believe that anyone who wears hoodies is a criminal of some sort.

I want to hear what you guys think of this.
