Rejoice, Ye Wearers of Droopy Pants

In Gainesville, Fla.,

Rosa B. Williams, chairwoman of the city's Black on Black Crime Taskforce, said the trend of young men wearing pants well below the waist is a "disgrace" and sets a bad example. "Nowadays they're so low, they have to hold them up just to walk," Williams said. "I think its time for the City Commission or someone to take a stand." After all, Williams said, "If (police) see someone naked, they're going to stop them." 

Despite the black-on-black crime wave that the droopy trousers are sure to exacerbate, the City Commission declined to adopt Ms. Williams' pants-fighting proposal.

UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal reminds us that droopy pants make for less-than-ideal getaway garb.

Droopy pants make it harder for the wearers to elude police since they can't run all that well while holding up their trousers.
