Louisiana Town Banning Sagging Pants

When I see people with saggy pants I helpfully point out to them that their pants are falling down. If they say anything in return I interrupt them to tell them they look stupid. Hey, people wearing saggy pants cant carry a handgun in their waistband and they can’t run, so I consider this a safe move on my part. Anyways, a Louisiana town is sick of seeing black men and boys still adhering to this fashion which is based on all black men going to jail.

From the NYDailyNews here:

A Louisiana town wants to prohibit people from sagging, or wearing pants below the waist and exposing their underwear.

The ban would set a high price on low pants, slapping violators with a series of fines: $50 for the first offense, $100 for the second and $100 and 16 hours of public service for each subsequent offence.

The Terrebonne Parish Town Council voted 8 -1 to pass the ordinance, which the parish’s president is expected to sign into law.

Some think sagging is cool, others think it is foolish. Either way, the fashion statement has incited the ire of several Louisiana lawmakers.

“Appearing in public view while exposing one’s skin or undergarments below the waist is contrary to safety, health, peace and good order of the parish and the general welfare,” the ordinance reads.

Before the vote, Jerome Boykin, president of the local chapter of the NAACP, argued in favor of the sagging ban.
“There is nothing positive about people wearing saggy pants,” he said. “This is not a black issue, this is not a white issue, this is a people issue.”

Note that these people trying to ban stuff is, as always, Democrats. Of course they won’t want to address the root cause of the problem, which is no jobs for inner city kids, no employment for blacks and the high crime rates that spurned the fashion in the first place.
