What if we turn this around and blame the murderer for what clothing he was wearing. Was he wearing a hoodie too? I'm a 60 yr. old grandma and I wear a hoodie almost every day because of the weather in Seattle so therefore I deserve to be murdered??. In fact there is a whole dept. at JC Penney of hoodies. Are they promoting stereotypes by selling them? NO Maybe Geraldo is upset because the muderer is also Hispanic like him? I think Geraldo has injected himself into this story in a terrible way just to get attention. It's not the hoodie STUPID. It's NOT the clothes. It's your brain - the most dangerous part of your body. Get over yourself Geraldo!

It's a shame to say that it has taken the senseless killing of a 17 year old youth for citizens across the country to recognize that hey there might be a problem here. For the past few weeks anybody, somebody and everybody has express a voice about Trayvon Martin's trip to the 7-ll and his permanent home in the ground. As far as Geraldo's comments. Michael Jordan's father was Not wearing a hoodie when he was shot dead while Napping at a rest stop. Bill Cosby's son Ennis was Not wearing a hoodie when he was shot to death while changing a flat tire,Rodney King was Not wearing a hoodie when he was pulled out of his car and beaten to a pulp by Numerous officers and we were told that the tape did Not tell the whole story, and Geraldo Rivera was Not wearing a hoodie when his Nose was broken during a brawl with some haters on The Geraldo Show!!

Geraldo expressed a racist and /or Profiler's thought pattern of IGNORANCE. He shouldnt have exposed his own ignorance on TV. This is a free country, children can wear whatever their parents bought them from a store that is licensed to sell Wardrobe or not

No first of all if he was on the other end of this situation he would feel totally different. And hoodies are just a way of showing fashion. He was 14 years old damn he was somebodies child for God's sake. He was a child and the number rule your mom teaches you is you never talk to strangers and if someone is following you, you just keep walking and don't look back.

Is this the same as when a woman/girl is raped they asked for it because of the way they dressed? This is 2012, you don't go around shooting people for no reason
