Police harassment because of my weejuns
Last night, I received some police harassment because of my weejuns.
Walking home from the beer garden, I passed some NYPD eating ice cream bars
1 said to me "hey tinkerbell, where you going in those slippers"
I didnt respond, in fear they would discover my sap, stuffed inside my pant. I asked Mr. Bodner today, and he said they violated my rights, Hector also told me this, although they are not lawyers.
Its not legal advice I seek, but a reason for this discrimination.

Re: Police harassment because of my weejuns

Re: Police harassment because of my weejuns
Weejuns are so easy to kick off that people associate them with getting undressed in a hurry. Mainly this is subliminal. When people see Weejun wearers they are reminded on a deep level that they are unhappy with their lives. This makes them furious as they feel their misery to be unfair. They then direct all this pent up aggression at their percieved Nemesis: 'The Man of Sex'.
This is why people hate you.

Re: Police harassment because of my weejuns
They are angry because the shoes are made offshore? They wore them 40 years ago when they were young and are mad because they themselves are now old? The shoes weren't burgundy like good Weejuns? If they were a penny loafer combined with a tassel, you deserve prison without bail or trial.

Re: Police harassment because of my weejuns
Would it be wise to wear the shoes of 'The Pleasure Man' in prison?

Re: Police harassment because of my weejuns
Ahhhhhh!
This is just the regular Tassel-Weejun then. Strap across & tassels. No saddle as in a penny Weejun. I'm a fan & have a few. A lovely loafer. IMVHO.
In England we had the plain Penny, the Tassel, and the low cut Fringe & Tassel in '85. Later we got the Beef Roll with those two little sausages of leather either side of the saddle, but by that time our eyes were so used to the mighty Sebago classic that the Bass version looked a little weedy.
Later still Sebago did a Tassel called the 'Kerry'. Tassels with no strap - they just came out of the top like they did on the Women's Tassel Weejun. They looked a little like Venetian loafers with Tassels on top. Also nice. 'Drop Tassel' I think this style is called.

Re: Police harassment because of my weejuns
Thank you for the forum support, and explanations , but I didnt wear weejuns all week, for now I tread down Ditmars Blvd in fear of more harassment. Since I have changed to crepe soles, because the walk more quietly, and perhaps they are better for climbing telephone posts.

Re: Police harassment because of my weejuns
Vaclav, I think you could wear crepe soled shoes such as Wallabies with style, and no one will call you Tinkerbell.
I cannot pull them off, so I must face the risk of insult.
