Virginian Lowriders

Lots of folks (especially the libertarian types) around the ol' blogosphere have been having some fun with the recent decision by the Virginia House of Delegates to prosecute kids with low slung pants.

Now, sure, I enjoy a pretty girl with her pants sliding off as much as the next guy, and am disgusted by a far chick with her pants sliding off as much as the next guy, but folks, this isn't all just about overreaching government and wasting the police and taxpayers time. As John Tant explains, there is a very real, and very dangerous reason for this law. Kudo's to John for articulating the reasons far better than our otherwise communication challeneged elected officials.


By the way, my Kilgore bumper sticker came yesterday and now proudly sits next to the Bush-Cheney sticker on my gas hogging SUV's back window.
