Louisiana Man Charged, wears skirts while Mowing
From keyetv.com
We may not know what a Scotsman wears under his kilt, but the town officials of Clinton, Louisiana, say what they see is too much.
Jay Herrod mows lawns in a skirt.
He says he wears the garment because he gets heat rash and “it allows that area to breathe and, uh, wearing a skirt on the mower allows the sweat to evaporate.”
Herrod’s landscaping customers aren’t complaining.
“He cuts the yard in a hurry. He does a good job,” Carline Kimbro says. “I don’t have any problems. That’s what I was interested in. I don’t pay attention to what he wears.”
But the town alderman in this northern Louisiana town do.
The municipal authorities have cited Herrod for indecency in violation of a “no sagging pants” ordinance. He says the rule shouldn’t apply to him because of his medical condition and has a doctor’s note to prove it.
“I’ve had some women say I have nice looking legs, “Herrod says with a laugh.”For a man, I know, I’m the only guy in East Feliciana Parish that wears a skirt. That’s a known fact.”

WHAT? No Saggy Pants? Hey Clinton, Louisiana Officials, get a clue! If your going to charge this man with anything charge him with public indecency not this bull crap of a charge!
Ok, I am a bit calmer now. Here’s the deal, whether I like it or not, a man in a skirt is fighting the battle against a society that says men should only wear pants. I feel this guy should be able to wear what he wants. Now, if he is being indecent, that’s one thing. But for them to use this silly law about no sagging pants (um fashion comes and goes people! And Gang members with just wear something else next week, deal with the bigger issues, schools, jobs, racism than some stupid reactionary Sagging Pants law)
If I wore underwear, they would be in a bind right now. Holy crap, this annoys me to no end.
HEY ANY MODERN KILT MAKERS FIND THIS GUY AND SEND HIM A KILT ON THE HOUSE!
The charge should fit the crime. This charge does not fit the crime.
