    "Sagging" is known as "jail housing" by those who perform it. It is a blatant mockery of society and social rules. When a person is arrested, they may have their belt removed as a precaution against harm to themselves or others. As an act of defiance, the arrested person lets his pants fall down around his buttocks. When done by teens and others, it is a stupid copy cat of the lowest, most despicable members of society: the criminal. It is a blatant act of defiance. The teen looks stupid and retarded, like most criminals. So let them do it, so we know who the dopes are.

    I see adults using this style of all races, creeds, and colors. It is funny. But, these adults dress this way after work hours. These kids have nothing else to do so they will be dressed this way more often unless their parents put a stop to it. And even if they do not let them out of the house this way, whats to say they wouldn't change at a friends house. There kids. When they grow up and get a job or dont have so much time on their hands this will change.Unti then, just have a good laugh and be greatful that we had people die for their right to dress anyway they want.

    I have two sons that have been fighting in Iraq to liberate woman who are oppressed. Some of them have to leave their faces covered in public or be punished, even killed. Yet we want to point fingers are other countries for their oppressive, overbearing and high-handed ways of governing.
    Public nudity is a crime. Exposing genitalia is a crime.
    Wearing sagging pants is not a crime nor should it be.
    And there is no way in hell a single person should make legislation without the communities input and going through protocol.
    If you are worried about somebody carrying weapons in sagging pants, then you better worry more about backpacks, fannypacks and purses. You could hide a lot more in those places without it falling out. Sagging pants don't stay up well without the weight of a gun, unless you have on a belt. Most saggers don't wear belts. If all of the sudden we are going to adopt dress codes, then we need to scrutinize all styles, ethnic cultures and groups. Even the bathing suits and skirts above the knees would be outlawed I'm sure. Watchout Scottland!
    Watchout folks wearing biker shorts.
    Watchout gymnast and ballet dancers, you're all next!!!!!

    I hate sagging pants, but I love the idea of being free, and allowed t practice freedom of speech. This is coming to an end. We are making it happen.
    Sagging pant's don't commit crimes, and neither do exposed boxers!

    ya, i see our corperate america 'sagging' as they plan the 'company's' future. Sagging at a job interview.......they wonder why it's hard to find a job. Personal first impression is important and a young aspiring applicant showing his boxer's hasen't got a chance!

    Are they going to stop the women and girls from showing their thongs or butts?

    • Posted By: tool-fan @ 07/18/2008 3:36:14 PM

      Hey, as soon as they make jeans that fit my wide hips and small waist my jeans won't gap! Even with a belt they gap! These aren't lowriders either. I typically go to 5 stores, try on at least 8 pairs per store, shopping for HOURS and leave with no jeans. Unbelievably frustrating. I don't try to show off my undies but I'd love to fire every person in the fashion industry who designs jeans.

        that is it ...change the fashion industry.. it is insane. Enter Your Comment

          um, I was more saying they should make womens clothes for all sizes. maybe the $150 womens jeans fit me, but I'll never know since I cannot afford them.

  • Posted By: LAGUERA @ 07/18/2008 3:59:29 PM

    REGARDLESS OF IT BEING AN OLD FAD OR NOT THE LAW IS STUPID AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAG IF THEY WANT. WHEN YOU START COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THIS THAT'S WHEN THE GOVERNMENT STATES TO PUSH THEMSELVES INTO YOUR HOME AND WHO KNOW WHERE ELSE THEY'LL TRY TO GO GET OVER THE STYLE AND FOCUS ON THE REAL PROBLEMS AND AS FAR AS ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE ( THE OLDER GENERATION) THAT JUST DOESN'T LIKE IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND AGAIN GET OVER IT AND WORRY ABOUT YOU THAT'S WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS FOCUSING ON STUPID THINGS THAT DON'T EVEN MATTER WHILE CRIME IS TAKING CONTROL. AND TO THE COP THAT WANTS TO CHANGE HOW PEOPLE DRESS THEN MAYBE HE SHOULD SUPPLY THEM WITH PANTS OR A BELT AND IF HE CAN'T JUST SHUT UP!!!!

    sagging is down right PIGISH LOOKING.

    In the article, subject Jayson Miguel, age 28, says, "He will be sagging till he???s old and gray. How SAD for a 28-yr.-old young man to say that. His IQ must be at "Retarded" level. What does his future hold for him?
    Welfare and MORE social-services help !?!?! No wonder American businesses EXPORT American jobs to other countries. Jayson will be working in a 'car-wash' to support his family. Very SAD and unfortunate ....

    • Posted By: slabinok @ 07/18/2008 3:57:17 PM

      American businessess export jobs because they don't want to pay American wages. Why make the pants that sag here in America and pay workers $7-8-9 per hour or more when some kids in Indonesia will do it for a dollar a day. Sagging has nothing to do with this.

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

    Are you freakin' kidding me!!! A CRIME!!! Now look...I don't like seeing these so-called "saggers" either but, you cannot let "Big Brother" tell us how to dress. What if people thought cowboy hats were inappropriate...or, say Spaghetti strap tops for women, or anything that YOU might enjoy wearing. This is just the begining to the end of freedom, in my opinion.

    Leave it to cops...they are out of control in this country...show me a good cop and I'll show you his memorial. Time for real people to step up and take care of their communities...cops aren't the answer, they are a huge part of the problem.

  • Posted By: Laura&Todd @ 07/18/2008 3:42:07 PM

    The idea that "sagging" is a crime is the most idiotic law I have ever heard of. through out history, style of dress has moved to and from showing skin. anybody ovet 50 can remember the 60's MMMM? how short can that skirt go?????? or the 80's my era, how tight are your pants????? give me a break both my boys sag and think it looks great , colors match and no holes anywhere. did it ever occure to the lawmakers that mabybe they should be working on the fact that maybe a real crime might be taking place?? like robbery,murder,rape take your pick.. This is a great example of how the good old boy's decide what is morally right and wrong. read the Bible is sagging mentioned anywhere??????................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: Lilegend @ 07/18/2008 3:56:28 PM

      You have a point about it not being a law and there are far worse crimes. I agree this guy should not have taken it upon himself to do this. It really would not have been in the bible since they mostly wore robes back then. Although it may be a fad, it is a tasteless one whether you are matching or not, anyone walking around showing off their underwear male or female, it's tasteless. You mention the bible yet do you really think that Jesus would have approved of everyone walking around exposing their undies? As conservative as the man was I highly doubt it. Again, I agree there are worse crimes and I don't think this one should be classified as a crime but you must realized that it is a way of profiling people. There will be plenty more black guys getting fined than white. There will be more "gang" members fined than the white collared attorney...sad but true. What's really wrong with people wanting their sons to look respectable and have respect for themselves. Not to say that all "saggers" don't respect themselves but if they don't care what they look like then you have to wonder. Who do you really think is going to get that corporate position a "sagger" or a clean cut guy in the suit? Who will a cop most likely stop first a "sagger" or the kid with his pants pulled up? We as parents need to teach our children about the reality of the society we live in as well as self expression. So you may think it's cool your kids sag for now but when they get older and can only get that job at McDonald's and still live at home, you may change your tune.

    Big thumbs down to all those that voted for this one!!! Booo to the City of Flint! People should be allowed to wear what they want, what makes them comfortable. Those that don't like the look, DON'T LOOK!!!!! It's that simple. What's next? A ban on low-cut shirts for women? Or is the ban on bagging a front for another reason to harass someone.....??? Hmmmmmm.....

    • Posted By: knowledge is strength @ 07/18/2008 3:55:26 PM

      That is exactly what it it.... racial profiling without admitting racial profiling.... do you really think this was the chiefs idea

    • Posted By: tool-fan @ 07/18/2008 3:39:16 PM

      Banning low cut shirts would never happen. Men like boobs too much ;-)

  • Posted By: Adamwh @ 07/18/2008 3:53:30 PM

    Perhaps the police chief is not doing this because he dislikes sagging. They are obviously profiling to stop greater crimes. It really comes down to a balance. How far should we let authorities inconvenience rights to protect the public. The police chief probably has proper motives but he choice is over zealous and over the line. He should reconsider his decision if not it will probably be reconsidered for him.

      It would take a real ass to notice the stink...HA HA HA ... lmao

  • Posted By: toddlaf235 @ 07/18/2008 3:51:45 PM

    Hoteyes, I am 6'4" also and have been slim/skinny my whole life. I know it is hard to find clothes to fit as we are outside what most retailers will stock profitably. Finding clothes may be hard but not impossible and it doesn't open the door for dressing inapropriately. Whatever happened to looking clean, sharp, and dressed to impress? That's what my grandparents & uncles taught me from an early age and I have always been known as "very sharp" If you are on your way to, or coming back from the gym, ok wear what you want. Besides, why do so many people want to dress like everyone else. Men should dress like men who are about something instead of looking like they are headed to the gym.

  • Posted By: rosebud1053 @ 07/18/2008 3:49:20 PM

    I'm for it! I'm tired of seeing these kids boxers. In school they actually wear their pants where there butts hang out. Why should other adults and children have to see their boxers? It would be exposure if they walked around with just their boxer shorts and to me having their pants hang like that is exposure. Its silly watching these kdis try to play basketball and falling cause their pants are hanging. Civil Liberities Union what about my rights not to have to look at their underwear?

    • Posted By: tool-fan @ 07/18/2008 3:51:33 PM

      hey while you're asking the ACLU some questions, ask if there is a right for me to not have to see or hear stupidity. that would be AWESOME! of course, half the nation would "disappear" but hey....LOL

  • Posted By: slabinok @ 07/18/2008 3:50:17 PM

    For those of you that don't know sagging did start in prison because they don't allow belts there. Flint residents should be outraged their tax dollars are paying this man to deal with this. Imagine how the crime rate could climb while the police waste time and resources on this silly issue. If stopping sagging would solve problems such as crime, the economy, domestic violence, and child abuse, I would be all for it. Imagine if a man pulling up his pants helped there to be no more crime or economic hardship. Wouldn't that be great. This is not the problem and ticketing and arresting "offenders" is not the answer. Dick needs to get a clue..

  • Posted By: sweetbaby94 @ 07/18/2008 3:29:37 PM

    IF PEOPLE WOULD WORRY MORE ABOUT THEMSELVES THAN WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING, SOCIETY AS A WHOLE MIGHT BE A LOT MORE PRODUCTIVE. THIS IS SO STUPID. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN A GUY SAGGING, AND A GIRL WEARING A PAIR OF DAISY DUKES? SINCE WHEN DID SOCIETY HAVE A DRESS CODE? AS LONG AS ONE IS NOT EXPOSING HIS OR HERSELF, LEAVE THEM ALONE. DUDE, YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A GRIP, GET A LIFE, AND GET OVER YOURSELF. YOU ARE JUST LOOKING FOR YOUR 15 MINUTES OF FAME, YOU GOT IT, NOW GET OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT AND LET SOMEONE HAVE IT WHO DOES SOMETHING USEFUL RATHER THAN HARASSING PEOPLE WHEN YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE BETTER THINGS YOU COULD BE DOING.
