On his Facebook page, SR photog Jesse Tinsley posts: "This kid showed up at the first appearance Monday of a teen accused of beating an elderly man to death in Spokane. There were a lot of saggy pants, but this is a little over the top."

Question: Of all the fashion statements made by modern youth, wearing pants pulled below the butt may be the strangest. And most uncomfortable. Can anyone tell me what statement is being made by guys who wear their pants like this?
