    I think sagging is disgusting. it looks like these people are walking around with a load of crap in thier pants.
    Not to mention all the time that is spent pulling them back up. I work for a plumbing ,heat and air company
    and we will NOT allow anyone to walk into a customer's house dressed that way. Buy clothes that fit. I not saying they cant have thier own style of dressing but shouldn't the line be drawn somewhere.

    Absolutely ridiculous and a waste of Flint's resources. The most I can say for the 'sagging' style is that it looks SILLY....but in no way am I offended by seeing the top of someone's boxer shorts. The 60's mini-skirt revealed more than this trend. Ranked as the 3rd Most Dangerous City in the US in 2007..... Flint's problems run much deeper than saggy drawers.

    I hope he's successful. I am so sick and tired of being "exposed" (so to speak) to other peoples' underwear. It would be different if they showed JUST the tops of them, but a lot of these gross guys have the pants hanging below their butt cheeks and the majority of them don't have bodies you want to be oggling. When I can see your entire butt in your UNDERdrawers, you're offending ME, and I have rights, too. I have the right NOT to have this ugly vision invading my sight. Whatever happened to trying to look GOOD when you go out??? It seems these kids have no pride in their appearance whatsoever. Oh, and it's also different if they're BOXERS instead of knit briefs - THAT gives a totally new look to bbbblllleeeeaaaahhhh!!!! As Ron White says, "things that make you go bbbbllllleeeeaaaahhhhh"...

    Most of these kids will never have a decent job. Their personal traits would never allow them to work at a highly professional job. Not only do they think they are espressing themselves, but this way of looking brings and includes other negative views of themselves. They also speak with disgusting foul mouths. Bring of view of gangster types and the ghetto look. Where I work, they would not even have a chance of someone reviewing their resume, if they could even write one.

    Women and girls with their gut rolls hanging out is not emulating prisoners or criminals, it is just in bad taste. If you look like a stack of tires from the back, your clothes are too tight.

    I never liked that trend either, but why would i want the government telling me what to wear and how to wear it. If we allow authorities to scrutinize our lives under a microscope like that, what's next. Probably , The next thing would be how we cut our hair or the way talk to each other. Last time i checked this country was not under Communism, Totalitarian, Fascism or a Dictatorship. But then again with the way some people are responding we just might be. Cherish your freedom and don't give it up for anyone or anything. That is what sets us apart from the rest of the world, the freedom to disagree without fear. I don't like the fact that any authority would be given so much power over my daily existence. Learn your History, understand your forefathers and what they have left for us. An environment in which fear should not be the condition setting policy.

    Oh My God...do the Flint police have nothing better to do. This is totally racist and targeted towards young people. Why not arrest people with tight pants. Everyone should call Dick's office and complain 1-810-237-6866, and choose Dick's assistant's extention.

      Racist?! Perhaps in your neighborhood, but around here saggers are just like sensible people; they come in every available color.

    Does Flint need anymore crimes? They were already ranked nationally for crime this year so just add a couple more to be #1 huh?!
    Whose life does it change if someone else wears their pants too low?

  • Posted By: pakunkle @ 07/18/2008 1:34:47 PM

    This should be done everywhere, seeing men with their pants hanging down is offensive. Ihope other states follow the lead here......

    i SAY "STOP SAGGING & START BAGGING" - A JOB, IE.

  • Posted By: shella98 @ 07/18/2008 1:31:43 PM

    Does Flint need any more crimes? The already were in the top five cities for crime not even counting this. They will surely be on next year and maybe they will even make number 1!

    I have seen grown men's underwear. I have seen a man walking down the street with his naked butt showing...seriously. Boys walk around school showing their drawers and holding their pants up in the front...it is ugly, and stupid. I hope they all get fined. It is not a fashion statement, and it is not self-expression...if I hear that phrase abused one more time I am going to slap someone into next week.

  • Posted By: JOEPASTRAMI @ 07/18/2008 1:31:32 PM

    STOP "SAGGING" AND START "BAGGING" ; A JOB THAT IS! LMAO - IN JAIL "SAGGING" MEANS YOU'RE HOMOSEXUALLY WILLING AND "OPEN" FOR BUSINESS! (did "reverndkc" REALLY just spell wear as "ware"? - YES HE DID!)

  • Posted By: largemarge @ 07/18/2008 1:30:54 PM

    Well I hope that they are going to give fines to women who have their thongs hanging out and showing their butt.

  • Posted By: Rickster68 @ 07/18/2008 1:30:29 PM

    We should all start an anti-sagging campaign, and march straight to the court house in Flint on the corner of S. Saginaw & 5th St. (Where 5th truns into Court St. -- See?? TOLD ya I lived there lol ) We could call it our "NO IF'S, AND'S, OR BUTTS" Campaign....worx 4 me....

    The only impression that can be gleaned from someone who "sags" is that they have taken a dump in their pants.
    The "fad" implicates that the person has no self respect and does little to clean themselves.
    Either show respect for yourselves and others or stay out of public view, more like the bums and hobos that this started with.

    some of you people are to much and most must be over 50. Lets not stop with sagging. We really have to go after the muffin top, now there you are seeing skin nasty spair tire gross really gross. For petes sake it like wearing a tee shirt, under shirt, under your dress shirt with the buttons undone. Now if they were not wearing boxers then you would have a point, but come on just because you don't like it then don't wear it.

    Its also better then seeing fat people with tight pants and butt crack sticking out, yuck yuck. Or fat chicks with with lase tank tops with cow boobs and flabby arms and bellys showing and sticking out again gross gross gross did I say gross !!!!! I think its kind of funny watching the saggers walking, tripping and pulling up their pants every two step.

    I say they should ban it because the youth also tend to buy boxers that are to big and they sag as well. If they allow guys to show their butt cracks and their boxers, why not allow women to run around with no shirt on. Sagging looks stupid as it looks as though some one could not make it to the bathroom.

    You call "sagging" a fashion -- perhaps if you consider being a slob a fashion statement. If you wish to embarrass yourself in public, go ahead, show your underwear. You don't look stylish -- you look ridiculous!
