The crowd seems to be squarely in the street performer's corner and in the end, the police are called and advise Blair that the performer isn't doing anything wrong.
In following the discussion on Twitter, most mock Blair's stance and suggest that he's the self-appointed modesty police, further saying that it's no different from lycra biker shorts or Speedos.
I disagree with the comparison. One of the standards we have for what is considered indecent exposure is exposure of the anal cleft. Although the performer had his ass covered (literally), the outfit was so form-fitting that his ass was plainly visible. He may as well have just painted it. I've never seen a Speedo or biker shorts do that. In the end, this is the kind of controversy that the busker had every intention of provoking, and Cottrell gave him exactly what he wanted.

A division of the American Library Association voted unanimously Saturday to strip Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from a major children's literature award over concerns about how the author referred to Native Americans and blacks.

Oh, Florida Man! That didn't work the way you thought it would.
STUART, Fla. - A Stuart man is behind bars, accused of threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Brian Mast’s children in response to current immigration policies.
...
A criminal complaint shows Key is accused of calling Mast’s Washington, D.C. office Monday, and telling an intern who answered the phone, “I’m going to find the Congressman’s kids and kill them. If you’re going to separate kids at the border, I’m going to kill his kids. Don’t try to find me because you won’t.’

Regarding the removal of Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from the award, Melissa Gilbert should sue!

Just a short reminder why they're not the solution.

Remember Radwaste's list when someone tells you that only cops should have guns.
