Today I read on MSN.com how a male that wore saggy pants had ended
up with an arrest. According to this page a man from Brooklyn had punched a
woman in the face and stole her cell phone. This male could not get away due to
the fact he was wearing baggy and saggy pants. He was caught shortly after the
incident when his pants fell to his ankles. I personally found the fact that
his choice of pants was the reason for his arrest amusing. I believe that he
deserves a good amount of time in jail for assaulting the woman though.
Violence in any shape or form really bothers me, and I always hope for justice
when a crime is committed. Therefore, I think that this guy had deserved to
have his pants fall and be arrested. I also agree with the thought of cities
wanting to ban saggy pants. It is not a pleasant site to see the undergarments
of a person or even their bare skin, if you know what I mean. All people should
dress to reflect the person they are and show their personality or individuality.
However they should not dress indecent when other people have to witness it.
All in all, this guy deserves the time in jail for what he has done. Also I think
that pants should be worn properly. I am not against the idea of banning saggy
pants, what are your thoughts?
This post that I have read came from MSN.com click on the link

agree with my thoughts.

There is already a law that forbids "indecent exposure." Perhaps that law needs to be redefined to include undergarments? Of course, this then begs the question of how to define appropriate attire. For instance, bathing suits are appropriate at a pool, but not necessarily walking down a city street. It is an interesting dilemma to think about what is 'inappropriate' what is 'illegal' and what is usurping personal freedoms.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely! To your comment of the bathing suits may be true in most cities but not all. Take California for instance I have visited there and have seen many men and women alike wearing bathing suits in the streets. I am also not just talking about if they where close to a beach because I was no were near a beach at all! :) thanks for the reply
DeleteA lot of places have no issue with you wearing your bathing suit walking down any street or into any store. In fact, I can't think of anywhere that DOES have a law against this. But then is that really indecent exposure? What are the showing? If you cannot see anything but a little cleavage (which a lot of dresses and regular clothes show) who is it harming. I agree with the sagging pants, as it just looks ridiculous and trashy, but it's a very hard line to draw. We don't want to end up completely and utterly banning people from self expression, but we also need to draw the line somewhere. It's not as easy to define as one would assume.
