ghaverkamp Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 "I certainly respect the Constitution," Melton said, "but we have some issues that are much bigger than the Constitution." For instance? Ensuring that the nation's youths keep their pants up. Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 But Greg, how could you be against such ordinance? Didn't you read that... "the ordinance was an attempt to save all the children we can." -- Mikko Link to comment
Ron_B Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Councilman Kenneth Stokes sponsored the saggy-pants ordinance. He said many of the young men who wear saggy pants also get in trouble at school or with police. Hey, he might be on to something. I've heard that Charlie Manson had notoriously droopy drawers.

Lone_RT_rider Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 "In these neighborhoods, they're showing their naked behinds," You would think an existing ordinance about mooning would cover this. Link to comment
Calvin (no socks) Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I say, Rejoice that they have underwear.... I saw a Plumber last week... that image is forever implanted in my brain... ugh... Lets ban butt crack exposure with an ammendment and physical enforcement. Re: Wedgee to the offender on the spot enforcement. Now enter the amount of exposure that is considered non offensive and make laws to deal with the constitutionality of the adjustments.(insert smile here if applicable) Link to comment
Lets_Play_Two Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Such ordinances are not new. "The beach community of 37,000 north of West Palm Beach is hardly alone in trying to crack down on a street style that originated in the prison system, where belts are banned as a security risk. Cities such as Atlanta, Dallas and Charlotte, N.C., have considered imposing fines on anyone who lets his drawers show, while Flint, Mich., and some Louisiana parishes have local laws similar to Riviera Beach's. And the city authorities had a strong voter mandate for the curb: 72% of voters in a local referendum called for a ban on saggy pants." Link to comment
TyTass Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You must be an anarchist, Greg. Any good Statist, regardless of party affiliation, knows that continuously writing more and increasingly tougher laws is always the answer to saving lives, teaching morality, or bringing honor to the Home of the Free and the Brave!

Harry_Wilshusen Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 That law would ban this also. Link to comment
