Just wow.

Geraldo Rivera the Fox News personality whose career has featured its fair share of controversial statements, took to "Fox and Friends" Friday morning for a little bit of insight. Namely, that the six female jurors would have killed Trayvon Martin too.

Besides feeling confident enough to make a serious assumption that the six jurors, five of whom are mothers themselves, would have shot and killed Martin, Rivera also says the victim was 6'2" tall when he was 5'11".

“I am urging the parents of black and Latino youngsters, particularly, to not let their children go out wearing hoodies,” Rivera said. “I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was.”

At the time he concluded, “Unless it’s raining out or you’re at a track meet — leave the hoodie at home.” Of course, according to Zimmerman’s 911 call, it was raining when Martin was shot and killed.
