Meh.
The family attempted to stop deputies from arresting a relative, which led to the situation spiraling out of control.
Well, if junior is banned from the mall then he should be arrested. If the family obstructed officers...well too frickin' bad.

The Aristocrats!

"The mall doesn't put up with that tomfoolery bullcrap,"

Wow.

Those wacky haitians ;)

TFA: "No one goes to the mall and wants to see the crack of someone's butt."

I do!

What a bunch of crap.. Why didn't they just ask the people to leave?

z_gringo: What a bunch of crap.. Why didn't they just ask the people to leave?

They did. The 20-year-old asshat was banned for violating "Rules of Common Courtesy". The cops were called to enforce the ban. The family interfered with the arrest of said asshat.

When were the low pants worn? First time? Second time? Both times?

Wow, I hope those pigs burn in hell.

I'm sure glad they teach English at Florida State:
"I know I'm not a criminal just because my pants are too low below your expectations,"

Obviously these idiots never watched Chris Rock's "How not to get arrested by the po-lice". When a cop tells you to do something, shut your mouth and do it, because after that any thing you say or do will be held against you. If you have a beef with a cop, the street isn't the place to resolve it. You will lose.

FTFA:
Frantz Leger's cousin, Alain Oidge, 19, was charged with trespassing, resisting and officer without violence and disorderly conduct.

I don't mean to take the family's side, but all of this guy's charges sound like they boil down to "contempt of cop", a concept that pisses me off almost as much as people who don't signal lane changes on the highway.

What?

"The mall doesn't put up with that tomfoolery bullcrap,"

I haven't heard someone talk like that since my grandfather died... Surprised he didn't also say pantywaste... :P

They say sheriff's deputies overreacted with not just the force of their numbers but also with sheer force.

so sunday is a day off for editors?

The Florida State University sophomore business major was verboten for wearing his pants too low.
Mall is retarded.

The family got involved and tried to intervene and tried to resist the officers and that's why they were subsequently arrested.
Family is retarded.

Palm Beach County sheriff's Lt. Jay Hart is one of the reasons there's a Florida tag

In any contest to see who can be the bigger asshole, the cop is always the bigger asshole.

According to the Urban Dictionary, "Prison Pants" kinda makes me wonder why this fad has caught on.

Essentially, their explanation is that wearing the pants low, would signify to other prisoners that the wearer was interested in being someone's "receptor".

I had heard that this is the history of the "fashion statement" and wonder if it is true.

Fark It: Wow, I hope those pigs burn in hell.

I think you are going to have to be more specific.

Asa Phelps: In any contest to see who can be the bigger asshole, the cop is always the bigger asshole.

Could be there, Eric, but the cop is going home after work. The other asshole has to bond out to go home. Who's the bigger asshole again?

I can translate. The cop was an asshole.

Oh? Please explain.

Nice generalization, dude. I've seen PLENTY situations where the cop was NOT the bigger asshole.

And before you give me shiat, yes, I HAVE been arrested.

You'd think a guy who wants a degree in business would f*cking learn how to dress properly and respect other property owners' rules.

What a f*cking dumbass.

Okay. It sure looks to me like everyone involved were acting like assholes.

I was just curious what Mercurius meant by tossing in the lane change reference. Is Mercurius really PO'd at people changing lanes or is it that the person arrested didn't do anything more serious than changing lanes without using a blinker?

Sounds like a right classy family!

TheYeti: Sounds like a right classy family!

And here in America, we enforce rules of common decency! So make sure that you are properly attired before leaving the house. Get a haircut, shave, fix your hair in an approved style (no funky colors!). Don't smoke, don't drink, walk - don't run, stay off the grass. And if you step out of line you get to spend the night in jail!

Yep, that's *just* the sort of thing our founding fathers wanted in a country!

/sarcasm

You are only slightly overreacting.

Courtesy at a Mall? What universe are these boneheads from?

Ryan2065: You are only slightly overreacting.

We're throwing people into jail because they wore their pants wrong, my government is telling me I can't bring a bottle of water on a plane trip and our president tells me that we're not living in fear of terrorism all while giving the go ahead to waterboard people pretty much at random....and you say *i'm* the one over-reacting?

I think i'm not reacting ENOUGH.

we all live in amerika

Looks like assholes all around, but the cops get to succeed in their assholery without as much oversight as well as getting to use much cooler toys while doing so.

Weaver95: We're throwing people into jail because they wore their pants wrong

He was thrown into jail because the mall (private place) didn't want him on their property with low pants. He was told before not to do it and decided to go back and do it.

Oh, you must be reading a different story. This one had nothing to do with terrorism and people were being arrested for trespassing way before 9/11.

This article reads better than some of the satire on The Onion.


/too bad it's real

kraut7:
Sounds fine to me, unless the family is black, then it's obviously a racial incident.

Amazing how it's always this sort that throws that out there early and often...

This is why I go shopping with at a minimum 100 rounds of ammo.

The other reason is zombies.

flamingboard: we all live in amerika

What about, you know, the rest of the world?

Or is it too obscure for me?

And once we all look the same, act the same, believe the same things, we'll all be free to express ourselves!

Right. I get it.

Oh, you must be reading a different story. This one had nothing to do with terrorism and people were being arrested for trespassing way before 9/11.

I can't remember 20 deputies and a chopper showing up to get ONE guy for tresspassing back before 9/11.

I have to say, Weaver, I didn't think I'd be around to see the day when your line of thinking would change as much as it has. You used to summarily dismiss posts like this one as the paranoid blatherings of partisan line-toers. I admire that you can still affect change in yourself and your way of thinking. It shows an evolved, rational grasp on the situation.

Finally, society is served.

Smellvin: Looks like assholes all around, but the cops get to succeed in their assholery without as much oversight as well as getting to use much cooler toys while doing so.

Yeah but now they're probably going to get a visit from Rev. Al and his tribe, they think they had tomfoolery before....NOW they are going to have WORLD CLASS tomfoolery.

/Who the hell uses the word "tomfoolery"

The first dumbass was arrested for trespassing, not for having his pants too low. The other dumbasses were arrested for interfering. The mall, as a private entity, has a lwaful right to place people on trespass notice, and if that is violated, the offender risks arrest.

Everything else is just mindless whining by anti-authority losers.

The day the President of the United States told us he authorized the CIA to run secret prisons and that waterboarding wasn't torture is the day we stepped thru the looking glass.

Wow. I'm stunned that people are actually taking the cops' side in this.

Enjoy your police state.

Normally i wouldn't think this was a racial thing, but the combination of "Hatian" and "Wellington" is usually a bad mix. They don't like regular blacks there, let alone the ones who talk all funny.

I am gonna have to go with Weaver on this one, guys. I really don't think it had to go to the lengths it reached to get one guy to vacate the premises, however many relatives the guy had with him.

Have you ever met a person that was so much of an ASSHOLE that he was banned from a mall?


/oh yeah, it was just because he wore low pants.

Weaver95: And once we all look the same, act the same, believe the same things, we'll all be free to express ourselves!

Right. I get it.

Yup, that is exactly what happened here. Florida malls are behind a huge conspiracy and working with the police to ensure all Americans look and act the same by the year 2010.

Weaver95: I can't remember 20 deputies and a chopper showing up to get ONE guy for tresspassing back before 9/11.

When did this ever happen? I thought the police sent all those others there because a family of 6 were resisting arrest. I didn't realize they were all there in response to the kid with the low pants. Can you please cite where it says all those police showed up just to deal with this kid?

And here I thought "Fashion Police" was just a joke. Like Naughtius Maximus or Biggus Dickus.
