Yes, of course I agree that sagging pants looks ridiculous. But you have to remember, this is America we're talking about, where everyone has the right to express themselves in any way that they want to. It is our first amendment right. These kids are expressing themselves just like those kids in bell bottoms were expressing themselves. You can't ban it simply because the message has changed. It's simply unconstitutional. This ordinance wouldn't stand up 5 days in a wealthy white neighborhood. The courts would throw it right out. And honestly, do you think changing their clothes is going to change the crime rate? That's like saying banning the confederate flag would stop racism. What's next? Force all the youth to wear uniforms in public? Hitler tried that - straightened those NAZI youths right out...
