Very funny, you're just saying because I already revealed in post #49 that Don Barrington's quotes and campaign speeches and ads are buried. In any case if you go to his press releases his record is about as right wing authoritarian as you would expect.

You are conflating "tough on crime" with insanity like this, and there's no particular reason that needs to be true. "Arrest everyone with a hoodie" is not the will of the voter so you shouldn't go claiming the voter's wishes are what's bringing this.

Your objection is based on a tabloid lie though. This legislation doesn’t make it illegal to wear a hoodie. It doesn't mention the word "hoodie" at all and only the word "hood" in the existing section relating to when committing a crime. The idea that this is intended to or will lead to "arresting everyone wearing a hoodie" is and fantasy and your anger should be targeted at the "journalists" who created that idiotic lie in your mind.

So you're okay with measures requiring women to get ultrasounds before having abortions, families paying for the cremation of deceased inmates and, apparently, you're alright with the hoodie law after all. A bit of a 180, it seems, or maybe I misunderstood your position and you supported that measure all along.

Wearing your hoodie in public could soon cost you up to a $500 fine | KFOR.com





I say no.It is none of the government's damn business what I look like in public.Sure if I am testifying in court,at bank, getting a driver's license or some other similar thing my identity should not be concealed.

absolutely not. The only time it should be required is either during an official legal investigation (with all the checks and balances) and if you enter someone's property who has a dress code.

**** no. What if it's cold outside and you want to wear a hoodie? Conceal my face....I can do it whenever I want. I find it ironic that OK already has a law that makes it illegal to conceal your face in a commission of a crime. I mean, you're already committing a crime, why the hell wouldn't you cover your face?

Stupid nanny state BS meant to arrest more people and nothing more.
 
What a ridiculous law. I highly doubt this does any good and further it's completely against your freedom to express (or dress) yourself. More tyrannical government regulations
 
Every single spineless piece of **** that voted for this law should be publicly caned and banned from political office for life. Vermin.
