Isn't that, in part, was one of the sought after goals for our fighting for and liberating Iraq from the oppresive Hussein regime?
Aren't you glad that in America you are able to walk wherever you want, dressed however you want, and be completely safe-- protected by a Constitution that guarantees freedom of expression, liberty and justice for all?
Aren't you glad that you don't have to look over your shoulder when you go out public, nervous simply because you are dressed a certain way that makes others uncomfortable to the point that they attack and kill you?
Aren't you glad that stuff only happens in uneducated 3rd world countries and not in the America we know and love today?

Hmmm...are you yelling at
me or just trying to make a point for everyone to see?
If you are making a point, I get it.
There is a city near me that is banning droopy, baggy pants. The police chief came right out and said this:
"Police Chief Tony *****, who did not lobby for the ordinance, admitted it would be difficult to enforce. He did, however, say
it would give officers another valid reason to stop people and engage them. That encounter could then reveal other violations, like public intoxication or drug possession".
Now in this area, the majority of the people who wear baggy pants are black men. There are a few hip hop white men who wear them but the majority is black. So what does this "ban" sound like to you?
Another case is where a teen got shot in the butt because some man got angry over seeing his butt. From the Memphis Newspaper:

Incidentally, not to be argumentative, but Iraq was a first world country before it became a rubble.
There is a push to have tighter laws concerning the control of people all over the world. Freedom is going to be a thing of the past if people do not start to look past racial lines and take a good hard look at the media's
motives as to why some stories get the limelight and some, more heinous crimes get little limelight.
