Crime Family Of 6 Arrested Over Droopy Jeans

[The Helper]

WELLINGTON, Fla. -- Five family members, who got involved in the arrest process of a relative because of his droopy jeans, spent New Year's Eve behind bars, according to police.

Franz Leger was banned from a mall last summer for wearing saggy jeans. But when Leger returned Monday, police arrested him for trespassing.

When the student's family heard what was happening, Leger's father, mother, sister and two cousins got involved. All were handcuffed and taken to jail.

finally. I can't stand people who do that.

 

[BlightWarden]

good. pull up your pants or go to jail. i love it!

This is stupid! You should be able to wear whatever the hell you want. I thought this was the land of the free not the oppressed.

I understand there are some safety precautions since you are able to carry weapons more easily in such loose clothes but you can carry weapons easily in anything. If they are worried about such matters they should install metal detectors not ban potential customers and free citizens.

Plus it is totally legal to protest anything. Even an arrest. The family most certainly should not have been taken to jail.

lol @ the 2 people who said "finally" and "good"... You guys are the support this machine needs to do ridiculous things like this IDK how some people develop such personal issues with people who dress or act differently than them.

They shouldn't have resisted arrest, but if I was in their situation, I would have too. Although this doesn't phase me as much as it used to, considering ALL of the ridiculous, power-mongering cop stories that have been posted on TheHelper alone.

The belt companies are happy

I thought this was the land of the free not the oppressed.

Please tell me you haven't been labouring under that delusion.

This story is right up there with tearing down tents for the homeless and all those arrests in the UK of people who were simply defending their property in terms of oppressiveness.

Sure, I don't necessarily like to see the underwear of another person in public, but hell, arrest is a bit OTT.

 

[PurgeandFire]

I don't like sagging, but baggy pants I don't mind as much.

 

[DDRtists]

You should NOT be able to show your underwear in public. Little kids don't need to be seeing your ass hanging out when they go to the mall, or out to lunch with their parents. The lack of respect in people who do that is amazing. Grow up.

You guys are using the Freedom of Expression to get through this. This isn't a expression, it's downright rude to everyone around you. When the constitution was wrote, people were respectable. Now a days, people take it for stuff that it wasn't meant to be used for. You think when they wrote it, they knew people would use "Freedom of Expression" to be able to run around half naked? No.

>>people were respectable

People had slaves.

 

[TheDamien]

If they weren't allowed in the mall, then they shouldn't have come back and trespassed.

 

[DDRtists]

>>people were respectable

People had slaves.

Thats has nothing to do with being respectable.
And I was wasn't quite going back that far. I'm talking the 30's and 40's. People had respect for others. Now its all about you, no one cares.

 

[sqrage]

>>Thats has nothing to do with being respectable.

You respect someone who takes another human as a slave and degrades them due to their race?

*COUGH* RACISM *COUGH*

"America is the land of free. freedom of speech and belief."

wheres the freedom?

"freedom is not free."

so you have to "pay" in order to get free. LOL!

 

[TheDamien]

America is the land of free. freedom of speech and belief.

wheres the freedom?

Freedom is a meaningless power word. What happened here was perfectly reasonable. The people in question were violating decency so they were banned from the mall. When they came back, they were arrested for trespass - it is really their own fault.

exactly. I'm sick of glancing over and seeing someones ass hanging out because that generation feels its "hip" to sag. I don't walk around with my balls out so please keep your asses concealed. You ever see these people? they can't even walk correctly, looks like they plopped a load in their shorts.
Discusting people with discusting habbits.

and using the bill of rights or the constitution to support your hoorrible fashion trends is silly, If thats the case then i should have the freedom to go out in public and not see your ass, or your underwear or listen to your hip hop lingo (ebonical jive talk). Na-wha-I'm-SayN-Dawg.

The mall isn't a public place. They were kicked out before, and they were accused of trespassing private property.

By the mall not being a public place, It means that the mall can kick out who ever they like.

 

[MikeTheGuy]

Esb's right. The mall is not just some random building they stuck somewhere and people said, "Hey let's open a store." They make money off of renting to businesses, and they make especially good money due to the fact that the mall is a high-traffic shopping centre.

At any rate, freedom of speech and expression is used way too often. Free speech means that you are allowed to speak your mind, the government won't arrest you for your beliefs. It does not mean that you are free to offend people.

>>It does not mean that you are free to offend people.

Anything that comes out of your mouth will offend someone.
