LYNWOOD, Ill. – Be careful if you have saggy pants in the south Chicago suburb of Lynwood. Village leaders have passed an ordinance that would levy $25 fines against anyone showing three inches or more of their underwear in public.
Eugene Williams is the mayor of Lynwood. He says young men walk around town half-dressed, keeping major retailers and economic development away. He calls the new law a hot topic.The American Civil Liberties Union says the ordinance targets young men of color.
Is it just me, or does the ACLU’s comment sound incredibly racist? Last I knew, no single race had the franchise on bad fashion. Seeing how low you can drop those droopy drawers is an equal opportunity sport.
because this is really important.
I think that the idea is great. As a young man myself, I also think it’s disturbing to see another persons under wear hanging out. I don’t think it invades anyone’s rights at all. they just have to cover it up or pull their pants up.
I think this has gotten a bit out of control.It started with huge pants…which I enjoy. And then from there it came to this. Why do these kids do this? Im still a young guy but that doesnt mean that I want everyone seeing my butt and I dont feel like walking around like House to keep my pants up.
And lastly – what are they going to do about women?
thank GOD some states are putting there foot down to this godawful trend. its disgusting, simple as that. anyone who is defending thes morons with the droopy drawers are just as idiotic as the people wearing them. they should pass this law in every state.
