Glad they voted it down. I'm against the fad but don't think it is the job of our "mommy government" to handle. Also agree with Sup Fisher - this proposal didn't have any teeth to it.

Would rather see law enforcement taking care of the real issues that threaten us in the county. While 'sagging' is disgusting, should it really be a crime?

Have to admit, not a fan of Stokes, but when he was on TV asking--where in the constitution does it say you have a right to show your a**---I fell out laughing.

Supes shouldn't be handling this, although I feel their disgust with this issue. If they want to do something about it, legislature should do it under indecent exposure laws.

The weaker minds will always do and say things that show they're ignorance. They are bond by a "simple mind" and a way of life that shows no thought. They don't understand that their actions reflect their intelligence level. The saggy pants issue will be a label of identifying for the rest of us those "Simple Minded Targets".

With all the major problems facing Hinds County this whole matter -- even the consideration -- was an incredible waste of precious time and cycles.

I don't remember when this wearing your pants beneath your butt thing started but it seems like it has been 5 or more years ago, which makes it more than a fad in my opinion. It looks totally stupid and can't possibly be comfortable.

However, passing a law with fines won't work for this particular issue. I don't care if the fine was a dollar....good luck collecting on that! Most of the kids who walk around like that would not respect such a law because they already have no self-respect and don't respect authority, much less the value of human life.

The issue is not their taste in fashion, it's the rebellious attitude of the individual.

The real question is 'Where in the Constitution is showing your ass PROHIBITED?' Did someone say Stokes, his wife and daughter have law degrees? Many years ago I had a copy of that 'Howard University Law School Final Exam'. It's around here somewhere....... chortle.

It takes a village to raise a child.............

Note to the remaining tax base in Woodland Hills & Eastover :

Cut your loss and RUN out of that Village !

ia ma in favor of sagging. makes them easier to chase down.

My theory is that the fashion grew out of the prisons. Some police have confirmed this. It is a criminal gang symbol and requires action by elected authorities to support a public good. Gangland culture is not supportive of public safety and health.

10:15 - thus the problem of our country as expressed by you.

"My theory" .... "some have confirmed this".... therefore, requires action by elected authorities.

Glad you have become the determinate, especially when some group has confirmed your thoughts.

And since it is a "gang symbol", and we cant support gang culture, therefore arrest all those that by association with your symbol is obviously a member of this unacceptable culture.

You want your crown installed now, or wait until a coronation.

If they can't be stopped from killing each other every damned night, how can they be stopped from showing their butt crack?

And at the risk of agitating 1:05 (the guy with the hangover), I think/heard/believe/know/suspect it DID start in prison as a way of advertising the the wearer's ass was available.

Good grief...
The " look" grew out of Hip Hop.

I hate to break the news to some of you that polyester jump suits, Elvis' " look" with rhinestone capes, tee-shirts with your cigs rolled up in the sleeve, duck tails, the hair sprayed look that some men sport even now ,overalls, and a dirty baseball cap, gold jewelry on men and speedos aren't visually attractive either and are the sign of a " weak mind" to some of us as well.

And, then there's the " comb over". And, for God's sake, will some of you use floss and add anti-perspirant to your deoderant?

I don't find baggy britches attractive but the comments about " weak minds", " Howard University", " the tax base" are FAR MORE UNATTRACTIVE.

I know some of you must miss the sense of belonging you got from parading around in bedsheets and haven't felt a sense of belonging since then, but really, your lack of humanity is showing.

Civil order and standards flow down from the duly elected in our system. If the jurisdiction that contains the seat of the state government fails to mark and define its laws of decency and proper conduct we have ourselves to blame. The ancient county board was called the Board of Police for good reason. The frontier in Mississippi was a wicked place. Its time to form a stronger board in an increasing violent modern society.

the guy with the hangover--hahahahaha

Lack of humanity? sence of belonging? Oh good grief.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR ASS.
