rhinestone neckbrace is way ahead of you's on this one

i hate it when they make show-laws for laws that already exist. indecent exposure laws already exist. and before the "patriot" act, it was already illegal to burn things down and blow things up.

instead of dedicating more resources toward catching actual criminals, legislators make show-laws. sucky.

Yuppette, it's actually legal to take your pants off and walk around in your underwear. As long as your goods are covered, the law isn't concerned with anyone's lack of fashion.

Hrm..."indecent exposure"? Maybe indecent fashion sense.

This is totally a racial issue...there are tons of fat white guys with their ass cracks hanging out of their pants, and I'm sure not one of them would get arrested/fined.

Incidentally, I wonder what the threshold is. A "glimpse of boxers"? I wear somewhat loose pants mostly because my weight tends to fluctuate a few pounds depending on how much I've been working out. You can almost always see the top of my boxers. Is that enough to get me arrested? or do you need to have a whole cheek out?

Gotta love those laws that give the police broad discretion on how to enforce them...

Back in the '90s I was into sagging pretty hard. This was back when skaters, and pretty much only skaters (right?), wore baggy clothes. But I never sagged so hard that you could glimpse leg between the bottom of my boxers and the top of my really long shorts. But that's exactly what I've been seeing lately. Sure I'm a little outraged, but more than that I'm worried the pants are going to completely fall down right in front of me. And if that happens, duh, I'll never see my white daughter again. In conclusion, I propose that cops hand out not tickets, but suspenders.

Let people look like total retards if they want. Who cares? Let's laugh at them instead. The embarrassment of looking like a tool should be enough. If we were going to outlaw bad fashion where would it stop? muffin-top midriff shirt+lowrider pants? embroidered christmas sweatshirts, bomber jackets? African head-wraps on white girls? velour jogging suits? blue dress shirts with white collars? super-tight stretchy jeans? big black jeans with straps and clips? I could go on and on.

foxworth suing on racial grounds? oh that's rich. gee didn't he get the job in the first place cuz he's black? someone ask vera!

I was wondering how long it'd be until our first Tribune reader chimed in...

I heard that the cops love those baggy pants. Lawbreakers wearing them have a hard time running away.

[Rimshot...]

Remember those stupid expensive sneakers with the little blinking red lights in the heel, that were all the rage among black people in the early-mid 90s ? The rumors then were that the police must have had a hand in the design...

What a waste of taxpayers money! Knowing stoopid Portland LIBEARLS they'd chase down these baggy pants people with a dumb streetcar! the hispanics need to understand that they are in the united states of america not mexico.americans dont get to go down to mexico and act the way they act over here and get away with it. How bureaucratic! And European. No wonder downtown Portland is such an unfriendly business environment. The state of oregon has so much money they are wasteing it on snowball the deer and baggy pants. This states government stinks. get over it portlanders.people are not going to stop driving and take mass transit everywhere. its stupid and unrealistic to expect that.keep on voting for morons like sam tax and fee more adams and the same pathetic democrat leaders you always continue to stupidly reelect.portland has the most stupidest voters in america when it comes to electing quality politicians. It has been proven that people start killing each other when packed in like sardines. the The bicyclist should pay more attention Th roads was/is for vehicle with motors .I am sick of these The bicyclist wearing there tights and on roads that are made for vehicles ..thats what sidewalks are for... Get rid of the Bike Lanes put the bikes back in traffic and a lot less people will ride bikes, there will be More room for traffic lanes and more money for street repair instead of Painting Bike lanes. Stoopid planners. I am tired of these idiotic politicians trying to rewrite history and force political correctness on the masses. We should rename city hall idiot hall. Liberalism is a mental disorder!

what the? racial profiling? walk in to any club in Portland. last couple hip-hop shows I was at the crowd was 90% white and they all had pants down around their knees. this is a stretch to say the least...
also, I must say I agree with the poster thinking they were a police invention, them, the "cool" idea of wearing your shoes unlaced, the blinkers on shoes and the bright yellow Newyork Yankees hats, the cops got to love all of them.

So you can't be white and African?

So you can't be white and African?

One of my oldest friends in Portland is a Jewess born in Africa, who seriously kicks ass. Jews are "white," so I hear, but then again, most Americans with deep roots in the working class have a little more race-mixing going on in their genetic makeup than is generally polite to talk about.

Kind of like the ancient prison joke, "There's a little coal in the woodpile, and a little wood in the coalpile."

Or the expression "Cherokee Cheekbones" describing Redbone Hillbillies with that sexy, slightly Asian look.

Foxworth was demoted because of his horrible misbehavior. Look, I don't get to go drink wine on the job and get laid in hot-tubs, on the goddamn taxpayer's dime, with a gun and a badge, and it's a sure bet that most of you don't either.

As far as double standards and Portland's infamous corruption goes, at least Foxworth had the common decency to own up to what indiscretions we knew about, unlike Guisto, it appears.

Nice one, bringing it back to Bernie, Cabbie. The guy STILL hasn't resigned! Can you believe that?!
