Memphis teen shot over sagging pants.
Love them or hate them, they've been lingering for too long for some folks. Too long especially for one Memphis resident, Kenneth Bonds, 45, who had just about enough of seeing young'uns' underwear in public and the whippersnappers' disrespect that usually accompanies those baggy pants.
His solution?
If you can't live with them, then heck, get out your gun and shoot 'em in the buttocks. Yes, you read that right.
Shoot them with a deadly weapon in the butt.
Kenneth Bonds/Shelby County Sheriff's OfficeYes, it does lend new meaning to pants on the ground. It seems Bonds had an argument with a 17-year-old boy and his friend, who were on their way to buy some candy.
Bonds took umbrage with the baggy pants. He apparently "ordered" the young man and his companion to pull up their pants.
As rebelling teens will, they took umbrage with having their so-called offensive fashion critiqued and especially took offense at being ordered to do anything by a stranger. In Bonds' words, they needed to "do what he told them to do." Why? Because he was "the adult."
Rigghhhht, like that ever works even with me and my kids, much less kids I can't threaten with Xbox denial. Heh!
Not surprisingly, words were exchanged. One of the young whippersnappers might have rightly or wrongly called Bonds "fat ass." Then they went about their daily business of buying candy. It appears Bonds went home to get his gun.
They intersected again after the candy sale and bullets flew. The teens ran and one ended up with a bullet in his buttocks (it exited his thigh).
Anyone else flabbergasted at this story? I am hoping there's more to it than a simple respect authority or be shot morality play. I mean why not go with saying, "You lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground" if you are so aggrieved with loose pants?
Boy shot for sagging pants.
Sagging pants boy get shot.
Boy refuses to pull up his pants, So man shot him in the A$$

They didn't get shot because of sagging pants. They got shot for cursing out ol' boy. If they'd kept their big mouths shut, the "saggers " could have just kept walking and gone about their business.
Besides, I don't think it's so much the sagging that bothers people, but the thuggery of young black men that's associated with it. Young niggas is OUTTA CONTROL in H-town. Nearly EVERY DAY there's a carjacking, home invasion, or convenience store holdup, and 99% of the time, the perp is black.

the hanging pants was designed by MTV to make it harder for black people to run from the police, and along with the other retarded hip hop crap makes it easy to isolate you from
the rest of your people, and pick you out of a crown and beat the shit out of you wile your peers are watching and not giving a shit.
my opinion on the ass shooting? i think its fucking hilarious!!!

That nigga didn't get shot in the ass for sagging his pants...he got shot with telling that old nigga for telling the man to "shut his fat ass up." That was an old school nigga, and he aint taking no shit from these young punk ass boys. Personally, i don't think he should've shot that punk, but i'm glad he did. Next time, he'll learn to have more respect for his elders.
