The Columbus City Council Tuesday voted 4-2 to implement a new ordinance aimed at "sagging" or below-the-waist pants. Introduced by Ward 3 Councilman Charlie Box, the ordinance will create a system of fines ranging from $75 to $250 for those found in violation of the law. Although community service may be added as part of the sentence, it does not allow violators to be arrested or incarcerated, unless they do not pay their fines as determined by Columbus Municipal Court.
"I have had many people over the past few months or even year complain to me about young men wearing their pants where they almost touch the ground, and I haven't done anything about it," Box said. "As you remember, about two years ago, (Ward 5 Councilman Kabir Karriem) introduced this and I voted against it because at that time our chief said he was in favor of the ordinance but that it would be almost impossible to enforce. Since that time, Tupelo has passed an ordinance and they don't seem to have had any trouble enforcing it."
"I think the people of Columbus should have some input in this issue," Karriem said. "I would like to set a date for a public hearing."
Box's motion received full support from Mayor Robert Smith.

First off, we must consider that if the young bucks at Walmart and other places where the loaded-diaper look known as sagging is seen (anywhere in multi-culti places), the crime rates are notably higher. I'm a man of God who packs a God-blessed 38 Special nearly everywhere I go, and I still feel unsafe. My normal habit of seeing a groid and walking on the other side of the street is just not enough anymore!
But second, employing a city ordinance to ban feral youths from wearing their standard thug outfits makes more work for law enforcement, and worse than that, helps to conceal the thugs' true intentions. Bottom line: I want to know when one of Obama's sons approaches me, whether it is to beat me to a pulp, to sodomize me and leave me for dead, or to take my wallet and run (or any combination thereof).
We know that these things haven't gone through our Ex-Negro Program, needless to say, and so it is more than worth mentioning that we need those extra few seconds to be on the lookout for these baggy-pants-wearing beasts who intend to rob us in the jungles of the streets.
I wonder how the Godly in this state and surrounding areas will view the ordinance. But thank Jesus, I don't live in Ohio!
