Pants on the ground! Pants on the ground! Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground!
A Mayor in Dublin, GA has officially made saggin’ pants a crime and all offenders will be fined $200.00 per offense.
The law would prohibit the wearing of pants or skirts more than three inches below the top of the hips, exposing the skin or undergarments.
Police will be left to enforce the law, but skeptics wonder if they are supposed to run around high school parking lots with tape measures in hand looking for violators of the three-inch rule.
City officials hope that a simple warning for kids to pull up their pants will be sufficient, but we all know that there will be at least one kid (and likely more) who will push the law to its constitutional breaking point by getting arrested and fighting the ticket in court.
Some people are already complaining that the law will be used to target young black males. Well, a quick visit to just about any mall will tell you that young white males model just about everything they see from their black counterparts, including saggin’. So it’s up to the community to make sure that young black boys aren’t the only ones getting pinched for this infraction.
Do you think the mayor is doing the right thing? Because I’m hoping this law will spread, especially since I’m offended when I’m forced to look at someone’s ass from sagging pants.
What is your thoughts on this matter?

Although I agree with the sentiment about the pants how can you tell someone how to dress? Your infringing upon their rights.

It’s a good law to place on the books, however, it doesn’t hit the core of the problem. The problem is not the individuals wearing the clothes in a disrespectful manner, it’s the parents that allow them to venture outside looking like that so if i had the ability to enact such a law I’d fine the parents and you better believe that once they receive the first $200 fine they will address that person living in their home.

Tracy,
please get out of my head girl. Me and my cousin was saying this all summer. You cannot believe how many thugs walked around in tight briefs with their pants sagging under (yes I said under) their cheeks. I saw so many guys eyeing them as they drove by / walked by. And this did not seem to bother these thugs.

This is why I always raise my eyebrow when I see a thug calling someone gay, or talking about gay guys. Because here you are with your a$$ out for even gay guys to see, and you don’t care. I think they secretly want gay men to look at their butts. There is no other excuse. A thug was never into fashion before, so that is a poor excuse. You all have some gay in you, so you want to show your goods. And if that is what it is then admit it, and stop calling people fagz.
