There was a few kids in our community that did that. They don't anymore and all it took was telling them to either pull up their drawers or you'd do it for them and when that failed, we proceeded to do just that a few times. Now they don't bag and sag here.

Guess the cops have too much free time on their hands? Or the prison industry wants more revenue?

OTOH, I really don't care what stuff you wear. But please, if you are wearing saggy pants, wear some higher quality underwear.

You can't carry some many guns in "hip-hop style". The pants would fall down with all the weight! :p

I'd like to see that guy walk normally. Stupid video.

It's sad to see a culture full of kids doing this but it's a cultural statement no different then back when I was growing up and us "hippies" would cut out a big V in the bottom of our pants and sew in some bright red lumberjack shirt material, or wearing headbands, or not wearing any shoes which was a big hippie thing growing up. I'm a bit old school so my view might be more conservative. When I was a kid and my family was going to church, either my mom or dad would remind me to make sure I had a belt on. It just seems to be a sign of disrespect or anger towards society, or how somebody feels about themselves.

I've never understood how it became 'cool' to show your butt.

Ironically, Prison.

I think this is good. It's somewhat of a shame it has to come to this. You would think after reaching say 19 years old (to be generous) one would come to the conclusion all by themselves that it was not a cool think to do once you're all growed up.

I'm all for it, personally. Anyone know dresses like that looks ridiculous.

Oh, and for those that think it originated from Prison about your availability, it didn't according to Snopes. Actually, their reasoning seems far more sound, being sent to a prison where the guards didn't care if the overalls fit or not and so the prisoners just adapted.

See, this kind of law .. .and I hate that look btw ... but this kind of law is morally objectionable. Human beings deciding to lock up and restrict other human beings for the way they dress. Hmm. That seems a little bit nazi-fied to me. It's wrong for a group of people to believe they have the right, because they are employed by the state, to lock others up for the way they dress. I think the police uniform is horrendously awful to look at , and shows off their butt's to much. Do I have any rights here to lock them up? No. It's just dumb. I'm so glad I don't live in the USA. lol.

couple things... think about being in an alley and you and a friend are out looking for trouble... you see a lone guy with his pants low - obviously you cannot see a knife or gun in his underwear band, so you think maybe he is an easy target... but no, you see that his pants are around his ankles, which makes it impossible for him to run... which means he will stand his ground when the time comes, cause he has PLANNED to not be able to move right, or quickly.

The pants like that screams 'I am not going to budge when the time comes, and I don't need to worry about you, or carrying (unless you do see it in their underwear band) and I will mess you up if you try anything'. In other words... it's an attitude and mind-warefare like a bird puffing up it's feathers for territory, or a dog's fur standing up.

That and the prison pants hanging low due to fitting, and moved on to the hand in the pocket thing, meaning if you mess with a man's woman.. he will come looking for you.

Kids have been wearing their pants like that for decades. Was dumb then, and is dumb now...even when I was a kid. 3yrs is extreme tho but I wouldnt mind them being fined. A lot of times underwear is shown or more...so its pretty much exposing yourself. And indecency..

Where did you live as a kid that made this cool?

It was never cool when I was a kid, 40+ years ago!!

Don't think that punishment is appropriate, but they should be able to do something about it. It is lewd and I would not want to see females doing it either!

No it's not. You need to stop being a massive prude. It's not like they have no underpants on. Who cares. Doesn't affect you, so you shouldn't care.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
