Oklahoma Senator Proposes $500 Fine For Sporting Hoodies. Republican Oklahoma state Senator Don Barrington proposed an amendment that will ban people from wearing clothing that conceals their faces in public including hooded sweatshirts. Barrington suggests this new law will decrease crimes such as robbery. He feels that it will increase public safety as a whole. Interestingly enough there are exceptions to this rule. It does not apply to people dressing up for Halloween, masquerade parties or parades.Huh? So the goal is to protect people from crime most of the time I guess.. This is really adding to the tension America is already experiencing because of the recent incidents such as the, Mike Brown and Eric Garner killings. What are your thoughts? Is this racial profiling at its best? or public safety? More details below.
