Old Crow: Hoodies = Anti-Social

Old Crow (RE: Robber accosts female at North Idaho College): It's (hoodies) an anti-social statement worn as a badge of intimidation. Such self-expression by dress in society is at least as old as the James Dean era. Along with all the other negative social and cultural indicators that have arisn since the 1960s, this one too is associated with an increasingly violent sub-culture.

Question: Are you intimidated by young people, especially young males, wearing hoodies?
