Just think. Sandy Berger could have even taken more away had he worn baggy pants. And had he tripped, we as a country would be safer, at least wiser, today.

Bad english = bad journalism alert!

"Police said they caught a 16-year-old robbery suspect who had eluded authorities on several previous occasions when his baggy pants fell down, causing him to stumble as officers chased him."

The 16-year old has previously escaped police BECAUSE his baggy pants fell down?

The suspect, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was booked on warrants for armed robbery, carjacking, two counts of aggravated battery and being a child in need of supervision.

Gee, ya think? I don't suppose it would hurt if this kid also had a father, and a grandfather to look up to ... but one suspects he doesn't and never did.
