Why isn’t the victim being charged with trying to buy pot?
Nevermind, he’s a Churchill student. Affluence wins again!

Armed robbery and you're more worried about a kid buying pot.

Did the student buy or sell the POTS? The article only mention his bagback has pots and cash.

A Churchill kids dealing... you don’t say.

Story as old as time.

The backpack contained all of the items the victim had described, but it also held multiple THC vape pods. Two vape pens, several containers of THC cartridges and a digital scale were also strewn about the car.

The Churchill kid was selling. The police didnt charge the 3 for selling only robbery.

+1, the Churchill kid was selling. Drug dealers get robbed a lot. Only a subset of them actually call the police when robbed of their drugs.

The article mentioned that the student changed his story to the cops when they found the items in the backpack, that yes, he was dealing, near a Hoover MS, and St Andrews where the POTUS son attends school. Throw the book at him, I say. Dealing is bad enough; dealing near a school.. maximum penalty.

Did you catch that the “gun” was a track and field starter pistol?? As in, not a real weapon? Like in “the Breakfast Club” when Anthony Michael Hall got caught with a flare gun in his locker. This isn’t a gun! Every high school in the county has starter pistols in a closet somewhere.

There's always a drug deal gone wrong at Churchill, fortunately this time, no innocent kid was run over by a fleeing car.

I sure hope MCPD will charge him soon, right? Or is that just wishful thinking?

I was the PP who wondered why people were getting upset with the Churchill kid; I misread and assumed he was buying vs. dealing. I agree that they should throw the book at him for dealing.

They’re not going to charge him. Now he’s the victim of a robbery, they need to be able to talk to/interview him, which is much harder if they’re prosecuting him too and he gets a lawyer.
