I’m glad I was born a long time ago so the stupid things we did with clothes we still had a lot of options. My question is ‘what comes next after saggy pants go out of style??’

A few years ago Ocala passed an ordinance penalizing those who wore sagging pants on city property…didn’t last long, once the NAACP decided that it unfairly targeted young black men/teenagers, and it was subsequently repealed…..ill sure be glad when the inevitable tide of fashion culture washes this scourge of American decency out to sea… reminds me a lot of the 70’s when we thought it was hip/cool to go “bra-less”….ha! we sure were stupid then too!

Agree, these people seem to do the complete opposite of how normal law abiding, God fearing, rightly raised, responsible people think and act.
They are messing with our minds and thought patterns by their crazy actions.

It’s a disgrace seening guys with there pants sagging down. It should be against the law if I had a son I would make him pull them up no matter who he is with. It is sickening.

@G …. Florida has a “10-20-Life” law in which “forcible felony” crimes qualify for this sentencing. These crimes are identified as follows:

Florida Statute 776.08 Forcible felony.—“Forcible felony” means treason; murder; manslaughter; sexual battery; carjacking; home-invasion robbery; robbery; burglary; arson; kidnapping; aggravated assault; aggravated battery; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb; and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual.

Under the “10-20-Life” penalties a person who commits a forcible felony is subject to a minimum mandatory prison sentence as outlined in FSS 775.087 as follows:
10-years for using a gun in the commission of the crime;
20-years if the gun is fired during the crime;
and “Life” if a person is injured/killed.
The law does not prevent a judge from increasing the jail time.

Considering this subject was sentenced for “aggravated assault” – ie: use of a weapon (gun) – and he fired the weapon, he qualifies for the 20-year sentence.

Willie Brazile was the one released by Obama. There is an online petition to free him and a Waymon B. signed it. I think that lack of law and order just begats the same. I believe it sends a message.
Not a good one. This tragedy of the justice has gone on too long and I am glad the pendulum has swung the other way.

His criminal record was probably the reason for the 20 prison term. I’m willing to bet he is not a law abiding citizen
