PANTS

Stratford Councilman Alvin O’Neal a Democrat has lost his mind. This is the same Councilman who was arrested a year or so ago for interfering with police. Mr. O’Neal who is an African American claimed at the time that race was a factor in his arrest. I do not doubt that nor do I believe he should be trying to stop an arrest. Now he has proposed give the same police force who he claims are racist the tools they need to harass minorities. O'Neals proposed ordinance, would have made it "unlawful for people to wear pants which fall below the buttocks to expose their undergarments," with a penalty of $250. This is a fashion statement of the young particularly young African American males. I do not get the style but do not care if it is worn. It is non of my business, it is unconstitutional to try to stop it and the constituents of Mr. O’Neal who pushed him into this are for a lack of a better word IDIOTS. You cannot police the free expression of a free people get over yourselves. The ordinance did not pass and Mr. O’Neal has been ridiculed multiple times as he should be the end.
