From [theledger.com](http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050704/NEWS/507040335/1004&ref=dashhouse.com):

> A church has asked for a citywide ban on low-hanging pants and gold-capped teeth, saying they promote a thuggish image.

> Changing the image of young people could help Jacksonville cut unemployment, racial profiling and a rising per-capita murder rate now the highest in the state, said Richard Burton, deacon of Epiphany Baptist Church.

> The 250 member independent Baptist church approved the resolution last month.

I don’t know what to say.
