Pupils at a leading public school in west London are being urged to swap their blazers for hoodies to stop them being mugged outside the school-gates. Boys at St Paul’s School, in Barnes, are being targeted by robbers because of their distinctive uniforms displaying the famous school emblem.They are being told to wear hooded tops as they journey to and from the school so they blend in more easily with other local teenagers. It is believed criminal gangs are targeting the boys at the £22,000-a-year school because they think they are carrying expensive items. One parent said there have been as many as 14 muggings in the past few weeks.

That’s right, kids… Use a hoodie for self defense. (Unless you’re an Obamason…)
God Forbid we arrest or shoot the thieves targeting children.
Brooke, it’s the UK. No guns, no balls, and no morals. At least we still have our guns.
And the predators are no doubt white racist football hooligans.
Change “school uniforms” to “skimpy attire”.
Then change “mugged” to “raped”.
