DO PHOTOS OF CLOTHES PROMOTE VIOLENCE?

Don’t we have enough problems with gangs without this glorification, without these terrible clothes being advertised? Were the models gang members? One even had a ring in his nose. Disgusting!

Editor’s note: Was every ‘50s kid with a ducktail a hood? Was every ‘60s hippie with long hair a criminal? Today, is every kid in baggy pants and an oversized T-shirt a gang member? Designers marched their versions of this rap/street/ grunge look down the runways in spring fashion shows. Expect wider polyester pants in the stores by fall.
