Makes no sense, but gives new meaning to "freezing your ass off."

i still think the police SHOULD give everyone wearing their pants down a citation...an instant fine of say $50...etc....it's nasty. and it's time for ALL of us to take back our towns, our Boros....hell, half the people you see on the street are wearing their pajamas...what the heck is wrong with all these people? No pride. No respect. NO moral code. and absolutely no guilt.

You're talking about a bunch of the people holding elected positions here, right?

I hope the pajama people don't crawl into bed with those dirty things on that they just wore all over town. It really shows a sense of low self worth to go out in public not caring about personal appearance. And the low pant people ... Can't imagine sitting on public benches in just underwear! Yuk.

I agree. I'm glad you used "better then" and not "better than."

with all there is to worry about in this world, and all that people have worried about for the last 200 years, and all that we have fought about, and all that we have fought for, and all that All that you touch, and all that you see, and all that you taste, an all you feel, and all that you love, and all that you hate, and all you distrust, and all you save, all that you give, all that you deal, all that you buy, beg, borrow or steal, and all you create, all you destroy, all that you do, all that you say and all that you eat, and everyone you meet, and all that you slight, and everyone you fight and all that is now, and all that is gone, and all that's to come,

does it really matter what material people cover their ass with ?

Try getting a job dressed like that. I watched people trying to walk with their pants remarkably low. They can barely maintain a normal gait pattern. I say there is absolutely everything WRONG with leaving pants slide down to expose what is meant to be covered in public.

There's a reason it's called underwear: You wear it under. Otherwise, it would be outerwear.

So no one may express an opinion on anything less than monumental, simply because big issues exist?

Why do some people feel the need to do this? Is it a way of saying, "Take that, society"? Besides being annoyed, society doesn't care that much, if that's how you choose to put your ass on the line. It just looks slovenly. It's also an inconvenient, non-functional way of wearing your pants. I've seen guys having to waddle because their pants are so low. I've also seen them tugging their pants up every few seconds. So why not wear them at the proper height?

For being a non-issue, this story has generated quite a few comments, many more than other larger stories. When my jeans get loose and slide down even an inch, it terribly annoying. How can people that dress like that do anything productive?

I think that the young man is making a statement - he is basically giving you the finger in a nice way, because he knows that you probably disagree with him on fifty other issues in his life, such as things like his views on required education and marijuana.

Funny thing is, this guy might be the next Bill Gates, so you really should thank the man for being polite about his feelings towards you and expressing his discontent in somewhat of a civil manner, and respect the fact that he really does have the legal right to cover his ass with any material that he wants to.

It's a bit sad that the photographer even posted his picture and made a big deal out of such a little issue. Hopefully the photographer is doing things other then taking pictures of peoples asses.

And if the ass is so interesting, why not run around town and take pictures of boobs and start a debate as to what percentage of a boob should be exposed ?

Why pick on asses ?

Exposing breast cleavage should also be done with a degree of moderation. Stereotype or not, the low pant people better hope they are as smart as Bill Gates cause if they interviewed with me looking like that, they would not stand a chance. "Dress for success." Apparently some people like to look as if they are preparing to sit on the commode and deficate. Civilized society will not take these clowns seriously.

Bill Gates was not interviewed by people like you. He dropped out of Harvard and hired people like you.

I'm not impugning his character, just his mode of dress. If he's politely giving the finger, who is he giving it to? Everyone? Does he even know who his enemies are? Does he think pulling his pants down is going to accomplish anything but to show how powerless he is? That's a sad statement, if that's all he has left.

or have an " exposed underwear day " - and let them where pants half way down one day a week ( so long as the underwear material is thick and clean ) - maybe just on Saturdays , and hire the meter people to monitor the policy the other days

good point - maybe the problem is something to do with the kids upbringings - or maybe the rappers had something to do with creating the dumb rad - it will probably go out like mini skirts did and come back thirty years later

it's nasty disgusting and shows what a lack of respect the wearer of these pants have. send em to school to learn how to be a human being with a moral code. and respect for all veterans who fought for our country. part of the offense should be 1. a fine 2. required community service hours 3. repeat offenders.....a fine, community service hours AND to stand on the corner of 3rd & Locust with a big ol sign stating their offense (like concerned parents do on fb)

People are already wearing pajamas around town, in addition to the underwear phenomenon. Are they too lazy to dress properly?

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -
Image
Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...

East Donegal man charged in Columbia hit & run

By Columbia Spy -

NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month.  Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges.  Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police.  When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off.  Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -
Image
  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
