I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the controversy surrounding Trayvon Martin. I saw that Geraldo Rivera said that Trayvon was endangering himself by wearing a hoodie sweatshirt. His idea was that wearing a hoodie sweatshirt is a form of gang attire so it was almost asking someone to feel fearful.
Geraldo issued an apology for these comments.
