    What kind of parent would let their kid out in public like that anyway? It's not the country that's going down-hill, it's family values. If my ADULT brothers dressed like that (or a son of mine, which I don't have), I'd take great pride AND PLEASURE in giving him a wedgie. Do you think he'd dress like that the next time he came to visit? I doubt it!

      Hilarious!!!

    I think that these young men running around looking like convicts is amusing.
    watch one of these "saggers" chase his pants in a shopping mall is like watching a Jerry Lewis sklt

    please be sure to show up for your job interview dressed that way,
    that way we know what we are dealing with.

    its odd to watch this and the guy gets behind pants get to knees and wham over he goes possibly
    takning others with himself

    No matter how stupid it is to wear your pants below your waste it is still a method of racial profiling PERIOD. Please, don't comment that white boys sag too therefore this @$$hole cop isn't racially motivated because that's a bunch of crap. So, what about the surfer boys that walk around with their board shorts so low that their bare butt crack is showing while walking around shopping areas, "near" not "on" the beach??? I'm sorry, but seeing someone's butt crack is a little more offensive than seeing someone's boxer shorts. But, I'm sure one of you out there will find a way to justify that crap some way some how.

      VERY SOON OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT AND THEN, AND MAN I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN THAT WAY WE CAN ALL STOP HEARING ABOUT THE FREAKIN RACE CARD.......BTW OJ' DID KILL NICHOL

      • Posted By: knowledge is strength @ 07/18/2008 4:22:04 PM

        Why are you so angry? Did your DADDY touch you?

      • Posted By: knowledge is strength @ 07/18/2008 4:20:37 PM

        YEAH... and then the magic fairy came and cleaned up all traces of blood on and around him. So forensics (in todays hi-tech world couldn't find a trace) . BUT wait the magic fairy was't quite done yet ....next he dropped coagulated blood around OJ...P.S blood can only contain coagulants after it has been withdrawn into a tube that has a voagulant in it... You know it is not ok to jump on the band wagon for everything you hear.Try to do your own research and use common-sense. Don't always believe the HYPE....

    what's next jeans or baseball caps you can wear? go solve some real crimes.

    Let them wear their pants like that! It will make it easier on the police when they chase them, and that person trips and falls because their pants fell down. Wearing their pants like that is not someone expressing themself, it is someone who is imitating someone else. These people see a famous person do it or see someone that they admire do it, and they imitate them. Expression is doing something that is unique to you; therefore, they are not expressing themselves, they are imitating others. Does that also raise the question of can they even think for themselves?

    There is something showing in Flint, but it isn't the boxers. It is the absolute stupidity of the acting police chief and the city council.

  • Posted By: Metric @ 07/18/2008 4:18:20 PM

    Like the article said, Flint has much larger issues than its residences wearing a style that the current Police Chief doesn't like. I live in a small town about 35 miles from Flint and I won't go there. I don't know anyone who does. I personally think that his objection to sagging is just a cover for some bigger objection he has. Instead of pushing his weight around over some trivial issue and creating even more negative publicity for Flint, he needs to focus on the bigger issues, be honest with it's citizens and create a positive atmosphere for Flint. It's a beautiful, old city with great buildings and great potential. But it obviously has bad management. One of the greatest things about cities is all the diverse and eclectic fashions. And what about all those guys (and sometimes women) that you see walking around or sitting down with their butt cracks actually showing. Isn't that what his little blue law of conduct is talking about? I'd rather see fashionable boxers than plumbers crack anyday.

  • Posted By: saggin sucks @ 07/18/2008 4:09:55 PM

    OK BECAUSE OF THIS THREAD...I dicided to give it a shot. and all got out of sagging was a pair of burnout streaked boxers and nut rash from five minutes of trying this fad...then my wife stared beating me with a broom and i *** my pants!!! thanks alot news week

    • Posted By: saggin sucks @ 07/18/2008 4:17:28 PM

      now im going to wal-mart too see if my attire/a--crack smell offends anyone,c-ya

  • Posted By: Felda @ 07/18/2008 4:17:03 PM

    I wish Texas (especially Austin) had the guts to do this. I do NOT like to look at underwear, regardless of how "cute" they are and/or how expensive they may be. It's totally DISGUSTING!!

  • Posted By: oldog @ 07/18/2008 4:17:00 PM

    If you walk behind one of these people long you will get "mooned" the practice originated in prision
    so I guess if you want to identify with convicts more power to you

    To me its comical to watch one of the nit wits chase his pants constantly, yeah thats sooooo cool
    have em at your ankles there boyo, I have seen that one too, with the sagger falling on his face also entertaining let them do it! That way you know er what you are dealing with
    Oh and plenty of young white men "sag " too. so men of color are not the only source of entertainment.

    perhaps rednecks like me could give them wedgies for fun!

    pull your pants up you look STUPID ..

    Another fine example of the fact that there are too many idiots in positions of authority in this country.

  • Posted By: pkt72984 @ 07/18/2008 3:06:34 PM

    I think wearing pants properly shows you are a hard worker and sagging just shows that you are just plain lazy.

    • Posted By: knowledge is strength @ 07/18/2008 4:13:14 PM

      clothing does not define who you are as a personnter Your Comment

    These riduculous morons who dress that way should be hauled off to jail, and the second offence should be a felony. This is a true crime against the state and the people do not want to even look at these discusting dogs whose shorts are falling off. Maybe while they are in jail they will have time to meditate a little on how to behave in a civilized society. The chief of police is a courageous person for doing this and we should all suppot him!!!

    • Posted By: knowledge is strength @ 07/18/2008 4:12:21 PM

      NO way can one person be so uninformed. Do you not see how the police time could be spent elsewhere doing something more prodctive for our communities.

  • Posted By: jonnyreb @ 07/18/2008 3:55:33 PM

    STOP HARASSING THEE MORONS.
    Why would anyone care what these morons are wearing. What could be a better sign for anyone needing to judge these people, such as employers, police, anyone looking for an intelligent person to converse with. I think it is good to be able to identify losers at a glance.

    • Posted By: lizziej @ 07/18/2008 4:01:31 PM

      It's not just the sagging - it's the showing off of tramp stamps too. Sometimes you don't know how stupid a girl is till she walks away.

      • Posted By: jonnyreb @ 07/18/2008 4:11:55 PM

        Yes. Also, what about the losers with all of the piercings. It is so pathetic. I still think they should be able to do it. But again , it gives you an immediate indication of what is important to them. It is only the tip of the iceberg. Smile at them and think to yourself, "Thanks for showing me how screwed up you are". "I might have been fooled into thinking you are actually worth the time of day." Just use these external indicators to your own advantage. .

    Sagging has its roots in prison culture. Why do we glorify and defend kids and young men who try to emulate this kind of lifestyle? Here is the other thing; you have more white kids trying to emulate this style now than kids of color. Why do we keep pushing the envelope? There's nothing wrong with establishing guidelines on what to wear.

  • Posted By: PatriotDolly @ 07/18/2008 4:07:56 PM

    "Sagging" is know as "jail housing" by those who do it. When someone is arrested, his belt is removed so he won't harm himself or others. As an act of defiance, the criminals let their pants hang down around their buttocks. Anyone copying this act is performing an act of defiance and showing the stupid and often retarded mentality of most criminals. Let them do it so we know who the dopes are.

  • Posted By: Little Red @ 07/18/2008 4:06:59 PM

    Let them sag if they want to. When they're trying to run from the cops, it makes it easier for the cops to catch them because their waistline ends up around their ankles and they can't go anywhere. Makes it a lot easier on law enforcement! They'll probably get pretty skinned up and break something too!!

  • Posted By: MamaMandyJ @ 07/18/2008 2:58:00 PM

    If its past your crack (underwear of not), you should get a fine. Jail time is extreme and a waste of tax dollars. The same should apply to women with thongs and extreme clevage. If its offensive, and causes little kids to make remarks, then its definitely not fashionable, its trashy. This guy has gone a little far, but its a good point.

    • Posted By: knowledge is strength @ 07/18/2008 4:06:29 PM

      The time it takes to write the ticket is still a waste of police manpower on the street. I know how about we IGNORE the baggy pants and catch the serial killers who by the way are usually NON SAGGY pant wearing non african american members of society...EDUCATE YOURSELVES PEOPLE.
