Hey Moron! Pull Your Pants Up!
Only one thing could be more idiotic than ordinances requiring morons to pull their pants up: some of the arguments against these ordinances.
Such a ban has just been proposed in Yonkers. But a similar one was rejected in Stratford, Connecticut, in part because it would promote the horror of racial profiling. Political correctness demands that we pretend all people are exactly the same, except that any behavior associated with blacks is sacrosanct.
During the discussion, city Police Officer Ken Davis said a decency law could increase conflict between officers and the community.
"Am I prepared to take it to another level if that person takes it to another level?" Davis asked.
Davis noted how some people in southwest Yonkers reacted angrily when officers got in a scuffle with a man who did not clean up after his dog on Hamilton Avenue. The family of Eric Brown accused police of brutality after Brown got in a scuffle Aug. 31 with officers who stopped him for that infraction.
In other words, some police don't want a ban against walking around with your pants around your knees because given the political climate, they would be afraid to enforce it.
The fact that these jerks with their pants falling off would be likely to give police trouble is the best argument in favor of the ban. Remember Rudy Giuliani's broken windows policy, which worked wonders to make New York City livable again by clamping down on minor infractions.
Unfortunately, Rudy is an aberration. Thanks to moonbattery, civilization on the whole is in retreat — reduced to squabbling over whether walking around with your underwear exposed is a civil rights issue.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Hey, this is America! You can look like a slapnut who can't dress yourself if you want to.
To me, the most hi-larius aspect is how they hang their pants like that, then demand respect!
I really don't understand why this is an issue, though; just see it for what it is, ridiculous. On my college campus the girls think it is silly, so it is not commonplace.
BTW, if I were a cop I would like the saggy pants. Any edge I could get in outrunning a suspect would be welcome by me. They could push a fad of untied shoelaces, saggy pants, and blindfolds.

A couple of years ago, the local paper did a survey of high school girls, asking them what they thought about this "pants down" fad". Pretty much all of them thought it "looked stupid".
I guess these "hommies" don't like girls!

Dirty little secret...cops like this fasion trend. Watch a few episodes of the show "Cops" and you will soon see a suspect being chased by the police while simultaneously trying to keep his pants up. It is alot easier to catch a fleeing drug dealer when their pants fall down around their ankles and they tackle themselves. It's funny too...Keystone Crooks!

Oh look, the "I can write 'nigger'" guy is back again. Watch it. A few posts from now he'll be saying "this site condones race hatred".

The guys in the picture are actually WHITE BOYS trying to be black. Does that make them "honorary niggers" in your tiny mind?
