I found this story interesting...

[BigMotherTucker]

in my yahoo news feed.

I don't want to stir up a liberal hornets nest here, but.....

PULL YOUR PANTS UP PEOPLE!
Your friend getting murdered doesn't give you the right to expose yourself.
Your race and culture doesn't give you the right to expose yourself.
Your "angry at the world" attitude doesn't give you the rightto expose yourself.
The perceived notion that someone in authority "disrespecting" you doesn't give you the right to act like a complete tool shed when asked to pull yourpants up.

I also despise the fact that the author of the article chimes in with his cries of racism to all who don't care to see some guys *** hanging out of the back of his pants. Meridian just past a local ordinance making sagging pantsa fine-able offense. My facebook news feed was full of people defending the saggers right to free speech... Free speech??? What about my right not to see some dudes ***?

 

[Frances Drebin]

...no, nevermind. You said saggers.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Or did he have something else under there to cover him up?<div>
</div><div>Because that makes a huge difference in me caring about how high people are wearing their pants?</div>

figured it would turn either into casually racist Friday or some political debate between Coach66 and a more liberally leaning poster.

The thing that wasn't emphasized in the article enough was he was asked not to get on the plane prior to pulling up his pants because he was exposing himself. He made his way onto the plane anyway. Of course the comments on multiple websites are retarded. Many saying it was only because the guy was black, including his mother in one of the articles.Why can't some things be as simple as:your pants are literally down near your knees so you need to pull them up?

Can you imagine a white businessman walking through the airport with a suit on and his pants are oversized and around his knees and him NOT being asked to pull them up? Nothing to do with race, only to do with stupidity.

I am really hoping that the pants sag will eventually go out of style. It has to be one of the longest standing fashion trends of pop culture. It looks damn near impossible to walk around that way but I guess with practice it's doable.

seen. Maybe I have bird legs, but once the waist of my pants drops below my buttocks, their is nothing stopping them until they hit the floor. How do people do that? I'm always flabberghasted in amazement when I see an extreme example being displayed.

Also, isn't that **** ungoldy uncomfortable?

 

[DerHntr]

when you seesomeone in sweatpants with an elastic band. It still would be somewhat difficult and uncomfortable. Saw in one article that this guy was in sweatpants.

 

[RonnyAtmosphere]

...so you have total strangers on your "Facebook news feed" chiming in on this ridiculous crap?


Please, I beg you, get a life.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

They must levitate:

</p>

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Who said anything about total strangers on my news feed? It was a few idiots I know and then the comments that followed.

Why are you advising me to get a life again??? This issue is a current hot topic in the city I live. Plus, this particular story is sports related.

The police are quoted in the story as saying he was asked, not ordered, to pull up his pants, which he refused.

Since when can you be arrested for refusing a request?

 

[Shmuley]

"I thought they were just asking."

Pardon my skepticism.

 

[RonnyAtmosphere]

..where you live, in Mayberry?


This story is not sports related, it's ******** related.


I walk past idiots everyday with their pants down to their knees.


I want to tell them how ignorant they appear, but if they want to wear their pants around their knees looking like a retarded kid who just **** his pants, then that's their business.


As far as getting arrested for it on a plane...that's no surprise. These days, if you fart loud on a plane, Homeland Security rushes you to an interrigation room & asks you if that was a Sharia law fart you just released.

A "gentlemen" with his shorts pulled down to mid-thigh exposing, not his drahws, but another pair of shorts. At least the fashion of wearing two shirts is functional in that it helps prevent sweat stains.<div>The weirdest part about this fashion statement is its origin. Why would all of those guys want to essentially brag that they are someone's b!tch? I don't get it.</div>

 

[boomboommsu]

of course if he was just asserting "i thought they were just asking", as you mischaracterized it, it wouldn't help. but the police themselves are now quoted as saying they only asked.

of course he still has to get the statement to the news in, and the cops can say they misspoke in the quote and really ordered him, etc.

i hope you are aware that there's a big difference between when a cop asks you to do something, and when he orders you to do something. they asked, and then arrested him as if they had ordered.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

They started passing decency laws several months back. MPD will be powerless to enforce them, but I have no issue with them being on the books. I ask again, why is it that I need to get a life???</p>

 

[lawdawg02]

It looks to melike the airline employee was the one asking him to pull up his pants.

The employee asked Marman to pull up his pants

[Sgt.] Rodriguez told the San Francisco Chronicle that the employee asked Marman to pull up his pants, but he refused. She then asked him to leave the plane.</p>

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

the ones I see are having to constantly reach down and pull their pants back up above their knees.

17ing idiots. All of 'em.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

the fact that one has to preface such a story with "don't want to piss off the liberals, but...." just pisses me off to no end. WTF is up with these dubmass liberals? It's like they wait to find something that pisses off normal people, and then they take the opposite stance JUST TO BE A DICK HEAD.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

in this day and age, you don't 17 around on an airplane. If someone of authority tells you to do something, you do it.
