Louisiana man tazed to death for "saggin pants"

[Mr. Daystar]

I think it's just a sad, disrespectful, flagrant disregard for other people. I don't want to see some shitbags ass, hanging out of his pants, even if he is wearing underwear. I don't car if you're a young black hood rat, or an old white repair man, working on something. There should be laws, and they should enforce them. Punishment should be fines, increasing in amount, and public service, with increasing amounts. The sides of the highways need to have the trash picked up, and the streets need to be swept.

The same goes for obnoxiously loud stereos at stop lights. I don't give a crap if you want to listen to that shit, but while I'm waiting for the light to change, turn it down, and remember, not everyone wants to hear, what you're listening to. I don't care who you are, or what you listen to, but I might not want to.

Kinda sorta the same but different. I was having a chat with my next door neighbor who is a flagrantly and gratuitously gay Hispanic fella. As the conversation went on I thought, "How tolerant and modern thinking of me to be having a regular, normal conversation with someone that I know is this massively gay". Then the conversation ended, he turned around and walked away, and his pants sagged exposing his vagina. I almost threw up. If he cooled it with his culo everything woulda been alright.

It's just ridiculous. But it doesn't harm anyone so there's no need for lawmakers to waste time on such a non-issue.

I would tend to agree in all actuality (as disgusting as the practice is). Under that logic then....why can't I smoke pot in the privacy of my own home if I desire? :dunno:

We don't have to worry about Eric Holder catching us holdin' anymore but we still have to make sure we don't get lynched over a little pot smoke.

Well, actually for several reasons....all of which either are bad, or suck, or both.

Because we still have a failed pathetic war on drugs.
Because there is still a law on the books about hemp, that dates back to the frontier days, put into law by a corrupt politician, that was friends with a millionaire that had a monopoly on timber rights.
Because the government hasn't figured out a way to tax it, make it profitable, and still remove themselves from any and all liability associated with possible problems, and crimes committed....like they did with the sale of hard liquor.
Because big pharmaceutical corporations are still funding politicians, and promising after office positions with their corporations, in exchange for favors. This also includes passing through unsafe drugs, not just keeping weed on the schd. #1 list.
And last, but probably not....because a good portion of our politicians are from the old school, that grew up when smoking pot made you a drug fiend, but having 5 martinis at lunch with your fellow congressmen, was the way you made deals work. We can't have you driving high now, can we....

We can't have you driving high now, can we....

That's great advice. Never drive when you're stoned on reefer.

Sorry to the OP for hijacking the thread by the way.....now back to The Brotherhood of the Saggin' Pants.

Actually, when I could blaze up, the best was to get an early start on a nice warm Saturday, get my coffee, shit and shower, spark up a nice fattie, then saddle up on the scooter, and go for a long putt through the park. The first thing I do when I am either retired, or in a job that doesn't random test, is spark up a doobie.

You and me both, rev! I have a number of buddies who smoke regularly but I haven't had so much as a whiff in over 10 years due to the unconstitutional and draconian methods that my employer uses to be sure that I'm not smoking the hippie lettuce on weekends because it might cause me to start stealing stuff from work and fencing it in order to support my addiction. Don't let this happen to you!!

Dude, I've been driving a tractor trailer for almost 30 years. I've pissed in more cups, then toilets! Every once and a while, I might stray and take a chance...maybe if someone has some of that really serious medical shit, I'll take a couple of tokes, and be paranoid for a week or 2 after, but when it comes down to it, you are 100% correct. The laws are there for no other reason, then to keep big pharmaceutical on top, and the old geezers thinking their upright morality is just, and proper.
