SHREVEPORT, La. — A local official here says he doesn’t care to see people in their PJs, at least not at a shopping center, restaurant or anywhere else in public.
Caddo Parish District 3 Commissioner Michael Williams said after seeing a group of young men at a Wal-Mart wearing pajama pants that revealed one young man’s private parts, he decided to push for an ordinance prohibiting wearing pajama pants in public. “Today it’s pajamas,” he said. “Tomorrow it’s underwear. Where does it stop?”
Khiry Tisdem, of Shreveport, has no problem going out in his “Family Guy” pajama pants. “I’m an American, and I can wear my clothes anywhere I want. I’m a grown man. I pay my own bills, so I can wear my clothes the way I want,” he said.
Shreveport already has a no-sagging law. In 2011, Shreveport police reported 31 incidents involving “wearing of pants below the waist in public.” Gannett News Service
