Recently, states and communities have started to ban saggy pants, requiring those with their pants too low to pay a fine for indecency. The latest city to support the ban is Pikeville, Tennessee. If residents are caught sagging, they will be charged a $25 fine.
The ban has raised questions over whether or not the government has the right to institute laws that regulate someones fashion choices. There are also doubts as to whether police will take the time to enforce the law.
All I know is we just dont want them running around half-naked on our streets, Pikeville Mayor Phil Cagle told the Times Free Press. Thats the bottom line.
The ordinance was unanimously approved in the city, and anyone with pants hanging more than three inches below the top of the hips will be forced to pay the fine.
While some argue that the law is racist, officials claim that health concerns are top of mind as well.
What do you think of the new law?
Call them what they are, prison pants.
scarey SCAREY times...these!
it’s not racist if it applies to everybody
What...not everyone in the black community likes seeing pants on the ground

This is the reason why Lincoln is buried in a steel cage under three tons of concrete, so no one can dig him up and shoot him again.
U dont think they want a job do u ? If they dont dress appropriatly put them in jail.
LOL. This guy agrees with that guy:

And, sitting at the barber shop with my sons once, we saw the barber throw out a kid for walking in wearing his pants down.
This seems to be a younger generation fad.
Glad that you brought this point up.
Idiots but not in a niggerly way..
Damn Chode.....to funny!
“People need to dress as to who they see themselves to be. If they want to dress like this, it will be hard for them to find a job. We need a few things to laugh at, and Id like to laugh and mock this wise group that lets their buns show. Leave them alone. Let them be themselves.”
I simply can’t believe a thinking human being could write what you did! Sure hope you don’t vote.
I kinda hate to see this law enacted.
Saggy pants are so funny.
I once watched an employee at McDonalds take boxes to the dumpster out in back of the store.
It took him FOREVER, as he had to stop every few steps to pull up his pants. He was shufflin’.
I’m amazed he was employed, but figured the manager was Negroe and thought more of skin color than competance.
It was a hoot to watch.
(By the way, I was watching from the truck while eating a hamburger from the joint next door before going to work on a rehab job.)
We’ll be coming after their big, stupid wheels next.
i say local communities can determine what indecent exposure is.
regardless what color anyone is. decency standards apply across the board.
there’s a lot of stupid white people trying to dress like idiots thug gangstas too.
that’s what should be yelled whenever we see these diaper boys.
Pants on the ground!
