Liberty: You Can't Wear That!
A mall in Sacramento is banning anyone who wears hoodies, or baggie pants. They claim that criminals wear hoodies and baggie pants - to conceal weapons and hide their identities. Of course they encourage you to buy these items at the mall, you just can't wear them.
Should the mall be allowed to make such rules or should the public wear what they want? Are they going extreme in dictating what people can and can't wear? Should anyone tell you what you can and can't wear out in public? Actually what defines public anymore?
So what if an Islamic person, presumably a woman, comes into the store with her Hijab on? Will she be asked to leave? Doesn't this rule create a path to discrimination?
As a side not, I still call them jogging jackets, because that's what I've called them for years. Who came up with the term hoodies?
Hey while we are at it can we band spandex pants, and ban the low rise pants to block the view of muffin tops please?
