Wearing a hoodie will cost you $500 in OK.

What's next, an underwear check ? Get caught going commando and get charged with a sex crime ?

Even conservative states have their fair share of stupid.

Stupid is as stupid does. How do people like this get elected? This guy is an idiot so someone must be making a lot of money by this guy being in office.

[Big John]

There are so many ways out of this that I really don't understand the perceived benefit.

The bill's language includes exemptions for religious garments, weather protection, safety or medical purposes, parades, Halloween celebrations, masquerade parties, "minstrel troupes," circuses, sporting groups, mascots or "other amusements or dramatic shows." But several residents who spoke to KFOR expressed concern that the language was still overly broad and could be easily misconstrued to ban hooded sweatshirts on any occasion.

[Bailey Guns]

I understand the intent and it's probably meant to help deter criminals. But it's still ridiculous. Kinda like saying a 16 round magazine is dangerous but a 15 round magazine isn't.

[ray1970]

If I was them I'd focus on banning those saggy pants instead.

[XC700116]

The simple fact that this shit show has even been written should be grounds for a public ass kicking, good grief. This jackwagon senator needs to be immediately recalled for dreaming up this shit, and then not knowing better than to actually bring it to the legislature.

[Bailey Guns]

But we have to do SOMETHING....

[StagLefty]

Blind people shouldn't be allowed to wear dark glasses-what are they trying to hide ?[Sarcasm2]

[Gman]

But...but...but...t's easier to outlaw hoodies than to fix broken government.

[02ducky]

Wonder what is going to be next? Socks, shoes, hats... anybody hear the toilet bowl flushing.

What a bunch of BS

[Hound]

Oh protect us please from ourselves we are too stupid.......

I think John Clease explains it perfectly http://geekologie.com/2014/12/john-cleese-explains-why-stupid-people-a.php

[TheGrey]

Okay- I read the Bill. It stinks of ignorance and desperation. After you remove all of the exceptions, what you have left is, "It's a crime to conceal your identity when in the commission of a crime," and, "[Because this is happening and my constituents are squalling for us to do something,] we declare this an emergency and will make this a law as soon as it passes."

Seriously, these hand-wringing, crisis-management, slack-jawed mouth-breathers need to be cleared out of any position of authority. They've already got a law on the record that states exactly this- since the 1920s. That's like having a new law written up that states, "It's illegal to commit a crime."

[Bang]

Just wait and see, I'll bet that some low wattage CO. representative will pick up on this and try to ram rod a similar bill here.

And on a side note Grey, congratulation, you have survived a year on this site without getting banned.....[Tooth]

[mcantar18c]

Another step towards completely eliminating anonymity.

*gasp* OMG, you're right! A year already. [mlp] That deserves the MLP.

[StagLefty]

Jan 2015 minus Jan 2013 = 2 years Whew thought I was going to have to take my socks off. [facepalm]

[TheGrey]

*facepalm* I've started the year off with the winning streak of writing "2014" 3 times already. I hope that doesn't serve as an omen for the upcoming year.

[Gman]

Usually takes me a lot longer than 4 days before I start beating myself up about it. I'll start catching on somewhere around March. [Coffee]

[osok-308]

This is why more government is never the answer.

Oops, my watch still shows 2014.

Make that 2 years Grey........[facepalm]

Well....they've kept the Burka legal.

[RMAC757]

how do I put this"..........stop telling me how to live!!!"

[ColoWyo]

Well....they've kept the Burka legal.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Makes perfect sense.
