That couldn't have been a respectable mainstream paper. You could tell the guy was mainly speaking to black men, when refering to the intimidating outfit. Of course he tried to hide his bias by throwing in a white example, and then basically saying everybody looks scary in them. Okay... why the hell would he single out black men in the first place then? He's only helping fuel the sterotype that African Americans are out to get white people. I'm really sick of this blaming of violence on almost anything that could possibly persuade the act. Why do they not see that some things are more complicated then that? You can't just point to something and say, "That's why he did it!". In my school, hoodies are banned, but of course you can buy and wear the school hoodie for 50 bucks, bullshit or what?
