Black Congressman Kicked Off The House Floor For Wearing A Hoodie In Support Of Trayvon Martin [Video]
#HoodiesUp for Trayvon Martin! Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) was thrown off the House floor Wednesday after wearing a hoodie and sunglasses in protest of the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida:
“Racial profiling has to stop,” Rush said as he peeled off his suit jacket to reveal a hoodie underneath, at which point he pulled the hood over his head and replaced his glasses with sunglasses. “Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum.”Rush began citing passages from the Bible about the need “to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” and about being “sent … to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and to recover the sight to the blind and to set the oppressed free …. I urge all men who hear these words to heed these lessons.”Rep. Greg Harper (R-Miss.), who was presiding over the chamber at the moment, repeatedly hammered the gavel and tried to interrupt Rush, but he kept talking with a louder voice.“May God bless Trayvon Martin’s soul, his family,” Rush shouted. He was still yelling as he was escorted off the floor by the House Sergeant at Arms.Harper said Rush violated House rules by wearing a hoodie and reminded those in the chamber of the rules.“Clause 5 of Rule 17 prohibits the wearing of hats in the chamber when the House is in session,” Harper said after Rush had been taken out. “The chair finds that the donning of a hood is not consistent with this rule. Members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor.”
We applaud Rep. Bobby Rush for showing support of Trayvon but do you feel like the tragic murder has somehow been dumbed down to an article of clothing? We understand that many people are wearing hoodies in support of the movement but it seems as of late, that this is all people are talking about instead of the bigger picture. (BOSSIP.COM)

Dumbazz Of The Week: Pittsburgh Thug Robs A Girl For $60.. Then Calls Her Up To See If She Wanted To Go Out!
"Police say it's one of the strangest robberies they've investigated. Jardini allegedly took $60 from a girl he confronted on Brownsville Road and Nobles Lane. She had just gotten off a bus and was waiting for her mother. After the robbery, John Jardini called the woman on his cell phone twice, asking her if she had a boyfriend and if she wanted to go out with him. Police got a search warrant for Jardini's phone records and were on the verge of tracking him down, but then Jardini reportedly assaulted the same girl and her mother outside Zack's Market on Brownville Road. He was arrested on the spot and positively identified as the guy who earlier robbed the girl."
