Geraldo Rivera of Fox News Channel is busily defending Trayvon Martin’s shooter by blaming the incident on the kid’s wearing a hoodie. Forget that is was raining and the hoodie was appropriate apparel, it was the hoodie that caused Zimmerman to shoot because you know, hoodies are only worn by bad guys. ( Hey Geraldo – even your son is ashamed of how you and Fox are spinning this tragedy.)
I’m guessing Rivera is one of these creeps who thinks that if a woman wears a pretty dress it’s her fault for getting raped.
Shame on you.

Geraldo has always been slimey. He apparently thinks that a hoodie running AWAY from you should be shot. What a hemorrhoid.

Let’s face it, “wearing a hoodie” is code for “wearing a hoodie and being black.”
I own four hoodies, but I’ll betcha Zimmerman wouldn’t have decided I was “up to no good,” although he might have followed me for different reasons. Good thing I have a conceal/carry permit, huh? 😉
I feel so badly for Trayvor’s parents. He did nothing wrong and yet he’s getting the Sandra Fluke treatment from conservatives. I’ve read some comments that just break my heart, blaming Travyor and even his parents, and trying to make his family out to be the irresponsible and uncaring party.

everybody wears hoodies. Rivera is an ass and always has been. His biggest claim to fame is opening Capone’s empty vault.

I once heard a lawyer I knew say “It should be legal to shoot anybody wearing Fubu clothing” I guess a hoodie falls under the same train of thought!

Following the official, approved Fox News line. Gutless and contemptible.
