DNC member promotes 'Hoodie Rally'

[Horn6721]

Democratic National Committee member Pat Cotham promoted a “Hoodie Rally” that she said took place at Marshall Park in Charlotte, N.C. at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
“Hoodie Rally at Marshall Park at 6 pm today,” Cotham tweeted. “Crowd building, people wearing shirts in honor of Trayvon Martin.”

According to Cotham’s Twitter account, “Hoodie Rally” attendees were “registering to vote” on the scene.

Ironically the man who shot Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, is a registered Democrat."The Link

Wonder if these 2 made it to the rally?
Former Black Panther Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) made quite a fuss when he donned a "hoodie" during a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives until he was escorted out. At the time, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) "applauded his courage" for doing so.
Meanwhile, back home in Rush's district, two men wearing hooded sweatshirts, or "hoodies," were the shooters in an incident that left one dead and five injured.

perhaps a deep breath and a look at reality would have given Dem Rep Bobby Rush second thoughts about his stunt.
With his action he no doubt inspired the 2 men in his own district to don hoodies and go out and shoot people.

Mich
I am glad you asked
I know it the same way many "KNEW" Sarah Palin caused the gabby Gifford shootings
and the same way some "KNEW" right wing conservatives caused Mr Zimmerman a Democrat, to shoot Trayvon

What's the problem with this?

 

[Horn6721]

Gee rickyr
what is the problem?

I don't know. I guess nothing unless you are a victim or family member of the ones shot by men wearing Hoodies.

There sure looks like a direct link between a Dem Rep donning a hoodie on the floor of the House and the next day 2 men earing hoodies shoot wound and kill in the Dem Rep
own district.
A much more direct link that anything Palin was accused of.

is this really something the dems want to use as a promotion?

A couple people at my office, one that works for me wore hoodies today to work.

HR pulled them aside and showed them the Code of Conduct manual they agreed and signed off on in January.

They took their hoodies off and went back to work.

The funny thing was I didn't even notice until HR called me and told me what they were going to do and if I thought there might be any problems.

FYI, National Hoodie Day is April 10.

 

[Horn6721]

" National Hoodie Day is April 10. "
I be that is why the chicago police can't find the two hooded men who wounded 4 and killed one just yesterday.
Those hooded men are hiding out waiting for National Hoodie Day
wonder how many they will shoot then?

 

[Satchel]

That's kinda silly.

 

[Horn6721]

Silly?
As silly as a Dem Rep from chicage going on the US House floor and putting on a hoodie?
Silly as the very next day 2 men in the Dem Rep's own district out on hoodies, go out and shoot 6 people killing one?

yea that is silly all right.

If i didn't know better, I'd guess you're trying not to tell me about the President's dog, Bo.

Then answer them directly.

If the "hoodie" killings don't stop in Chicago. BO's home town, there won't be anyone left in chicago to celebrate Satchel's national hoodie day.
from link
"A nephew of Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade was one of 13 men shot — two fatally — during a violent six-hour stretch in Chicago, another indication that violence is on the rise in the nation's third-largest city."( the shooters wore hoodies and feld in an SUV as posted above)
and
"The shootings are part of a larger uptick in violence across the city this year. From Jan. 1 to March 29 of this year, there were 474 shootings, 101 of them fatal, according to the Chicago Police Department. During the same time period last year, there were 346 shootings, 55 fatal.."The Link

there is so far no report on whether the shooters in the other shootings wore hoodies . Anyone care to guess?

Don't be obtuse, Chango. He is saying that there is no difference from him taking the shootings and twisting the "facts" to fit a pre-determined conclusion than the other two examples. And yet the other two were hyped by the media. Go figure.
