Touched a sensitive spot "Lonewolf"? Names are released all the time no matter what the crime, long before trial. Who's the idiot really?

  I agree why is this drug dealer any difference than the next person???? Why are the police keeping his name from being released??? One would wonder if its because they plan to use him as a informant????

  Lets see, the charged....names aren't in the paper before the person is convicted for obvious reasons....now then...who is the idiot, well thats easy. You are Jon...as well as Ustwess R. Deewoh. I hope the guy turns out to be your Grandson. Governments around the world are busy decriminalizing pot. If pot were sold in a store and taxed by the government then little Johnny wouldn't be out selling it on the streets. Then government and law enforcement could concentrate their efforts on catching those selling pharmicudicals, fake extasy, and countless other more harmful drugs then pot. Cigarettes for example.

They request public information, they press public charges against someone above the age of majority - serious charges - and they don't name him/her. Personally, I'd like to know if I have had any interaction with this low-life, and to avoid him/her in the future. Maybe if I knew who it was I would have some useful information for the authorities. Now, if someone got a speeding ticket doing 10 over, we'd have to plaster his name all over the place...

  Serious drug charges? You must be 100 years old, weed isn't even a drug, alcohol is a million times worse. Waste of taxpayers money, you will never stop people from smoking it...ever.
