[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why they posted the 16 yr old's name for robbery but not the 16 yr old drug dealer.[/quote]

I was wondering that too. Maybe because it's considered a violent crime?[/quote]
because the drug dealer is considered a "victim".  Has MCPD charged him with selling?[/quote]

The question is, if MCPD did not charge him with selling drugs, then why not?

Extending your logic, if a rapist is scratched by the "real victim" of the rape and then calls the MCPD, will the rapist be considered a victim and MCPD will withhold the name of the rapist but publicize the name of the "real victim" of the rape as an assailant for scratching the rapist? [/quote]

They will likely make a judgement call about who is the "primary aggressor" or who committed the more serious crime and only charge that person and not charge the other person.  In general robbery is considered a more serious crime than drug dealing because it involves the use of violence/force against a person and drug dealing does not.  They are not going to charge him for drug dealing if they think he's a robbery victim.  They're just not.[/quote]
