I know this may already be old news to the rest of the blog world but I had this info for quite awhile and came down with a case of the Writers Block. Anyway, a man apparently argues with 2 teens about pulling up their pants. The arguement ended when the man shot one of the teens in the butt! LOL! Sorry to the teen but I had to laugh out loud! Here is the story courtesy of The Commercial Appeal..
A Memphis man angered by two teenagers who would not pull up their sagging pants shot one in the rear and faces aggravated assault charges. On Saturday, police charged Kenneth E. Bonds, 45, with two counts of aggravated assault, according to a court affidavit. Bonds was released Monday from the Shelby County Jail on $25,000 bond. At about 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 25, two young men ages 16 and 17 were walking to buy candy on Whiteside Cove near Shelby Drive and Tulane in Whitehaven, the court document said. Their pants were sagging in a style that has drawn national criticism from figures including Georgia activist "General" Larry Platt -- who sang "Pants on the Ground" on "American Idol" -- and President Barack Obama, who spoke about them when he was a candidate on MTV days before his 2008 election. From a yard in the 4400 block of Whiteside, Bonds began yelling at the pair to pull their pants up.
