Florida city repeals saggy pants ordinance
Move comes after NAACP threatened legal action

In a 4-1 vote on Tuesday, the council reversed the controversial ordinance.

Local NAACP president Loretta Pompey Jenkins applauded the action, saying the issue should be dealt with at home, in church or by community groups instead of by government agencies.

Councilwoman Mary Rich was the dissenting vote. She initially convinced the council to approve the ordinance.

Rich had hoped the council would make it a civil offense to wear saggy pants.

Last month, theNAACP had threatened to bring legal action against the city.

"I'm sorry, it's going to be black males that are the subject of this," said Dale Landry, of the NAACP Florida chapter.

The saggy pants law had banned anyone on city property from wearing his or her pants 2 inches below the natural waist in a way that exposes their underwear or buttocks. Offenders were subject to a fine up to $500 and 60 days in jail.

well the best part is where they say the government has no say, since they fully support the government (D) when it wants to force us to do something.


aside from that, what a dumb law

cops around the country are against these laws as the dumbasses can't run fast enough to get away holding up their pants.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Yeah, don't see how this could have ever been enforced.
Another wonderful African/American addition to our American culture.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Man these crazy cons keep adding more laws and increasing the power of government. Those goofballs.

 

[Ravi]

Ridiculous item #1, fining someone $500 and up to sixty days in jail for poor fashion.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Wait a minute. so conservatives are angry that the people pushed back against big government?

Good. This was an uncommonly silly law to begin with. Do we really want the government to be the fashion police as well?

 

[depotoo]

Never should have even been put up for a vote.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Exposed ass cracks present a health risk in public. Ever been to a nudist camp? Disgusting.
NAACP is against hygiene. Who knew?

[Mad Scientist]

Ordinances don't have the power of Law anyway.

 

[Stephanie]

yeah, isn't that what the National Ass. for colored people around for?

suing for them to wear baggy pants. and then they whine because they can't get hired at any jobs and then it's whitey's fault for that too

they're on a sue terror, suing everything and everyone in sight

 

[Asclepias]

Yeah, don't see how this could have ever been enforced.
Another wonderful African/American addition to our American culture.

Showing the crack of your ass was invented by white plumbers. Tell white children to stop emulating things they see Black people do and stop whining.
