Hats: Made Differently, Sir

This is getting ridiculous

A man was TASERed at a Saginaw City Council meeting for not following one simple rule: he refused to remove his LA Dodgers cap.

Some guy named Charles Littleton was so fed up with the decay of individual rights in America that he decided to make a stand...for a stupid baseball cap. Look, Chuck, if you want to make a stand at least do it for something worthwhile.

But that's not even the kicker. He then likened the cap to a piece of religious clothing:

"A Jewish man -- would you ask me to remove my Yamika? A Kofee? A turban? Anything like that?" Littleton said.

"But I guess a Los Angeles Dodgers hat is not a religious symbol. That is secular. You respect religion but you don't respect this."


A few things:

  • You are wearing a HAT. A Yamika is a Yamika, not a hat. The rule is: "NO HATS."
  • You "guess" an LA Dodger's hat isn't a religious symbol? Are you serious? It isn't a religious symbol. Why don't you simply know this?
  • Seriously though, I'm sure the police didn't TASER the guy for not removing his hat. I want to know what actually provoked the police to TASER the guy, if there is provocation. If not, someone's in trouble.
All in all, however, thank you for standing up for our right to bear hats.
