I'm seventy-two years old. Must I worry about getting shot?

but according to Geraldo, someone like my son--Hispanic young man--shouldn't wear them. Apparently, he believes that Trayvon probably wouldn't have been shot if he hadn't been wearing a hoodie.

Hispanic and black males are asking to be shot, when they wear hoodies.

My son wears them all the time.

and probably shouldn't wear them. At least according to that idiot.

I can't believe he said that.

Should I just go down to the inner-city and give all my hoodies away to scary black men, seeing as they're the only ones who Geraldo thinks wear them?
