You need monetary backing and no conscience.

Status seeking....topping off a career in business...are the only requirements...few are in service of the people...it's ambition and feeling that you are a success...that is important to most....just feeling important....is not enough.............or important...........service is.

Every time we see a video of a robbery or other crime the perpetrator is usually wearing a hoodie, pants that belong to the 600 pound man, and or a baseball cap worn backwards or sideways. It is also very suspicious went we see anyone walking around in 90 degree weather with a hoodie worn over their head.

If you want to look like suspicious character then pull your hoodie up and wear the crotch of your pants on the ground. When someone assumes your are a bad guy don't act surprised. BTW, try to get a job looking like that. You wouldn't even get past the security guard at the front desk. This applies to all races.

Edit to my own statement:

After seeing an upclose picture, he looks like an idiot AND a thug.

Priceless.

Sad.

These thugs are not fit for Congress. Maxine Waters and Bobby Rush should be expelled and sent back to their hood. What do they bring to the table besides stupidity?

Many of these idiots never amounted to anything in the private sector. Congress is the only place where you can get hired without knowing anything.

Off the OT, but I've never understood why taking off my hat is a sign of respect.
