Hoodie | featured news

Last week, Geraldo Rivera made headlines by blaming a hoodie for slain teenager Trayvon Martin's death.

The hoodie protests have arrived on the floor of the United States Congress. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) was chided and escorted from the House floor Wednesday morning for wearing a gray hoodie and sunglasses while delivering a rousing speech about the need for a full investigation in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

“Did you see what he was wearing?” asked the voice. “A dark hoodie, like a gray hoodie,” George Zimmerman told the 911 operator moments before he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, whom he described as “real suspicious.”
