And the mystery man is who?

Bob, you should know by now the reporter is still learning the 4 rule's of reporting.....
who, what, where, when........some day he'll get it.

I received a report that the accused is, though not a minor, still a high school student. I decided to pull his name from the story.

Jim, what about why?

If my children hang around with this "suspected criminal" it is okay not to inform me? Maybe "he " will continue on until you DO name him? I would rather not wait until "he" shoots up a school, to read the name. He is not a minor. Please report without bias.

Good job Tom... That was the right thing to do.

maybe he was making a political statement getting high on dec 7, in a japanese car ,in atown that had helped win the war ,but lost the peace

Gotta love an editor who likes to pick and choose who he puts on blast... Just like your health reports. You write articles praising some establishments and "forget:" their reports but throw others under the bus... What a joke.

You people are so annoying. Do you just read the patch to complain? Seriously, if you don't like the news you get from here go somewhere else.

Caren: No, we do not read the Patch or post on the Patch to complain. We, do not have our own newspaper anymore and therefore need to rely on this type of reporting. Incomplete and inaccurate reporting does not serve the readers of this link. While I cannot make the jump to having this person shooting up schools, I do have a need to ensure my family's protection. The failure to publish the name of this individual fails to protect the community.

So tell me what give's a reporter the right to pick and choose who get's named and who doesn't ?? That indeed IS biased reporting. If i had a child in high school I would surely want to know who this adult offender is so i could warn my child about his poor choice's, so my child could beware. If this 18yr.old is getting high in a park where children play then parent's indeed do neeed to know his identity. You make poor choice's you pay, we all are aware of that fact of life. And Nonya, as to why ? only the offender know's that........and usually unfortunately even they don't know why.

Maybe it's time for the Chester County Drug Task Force to make a sweep of Phoenixville Boro. And the dope dealers in the bars and on bridge st.Before this turns into "COATSVILLE"...

Yes David, i agree. Town was "cleaner" a couple of year's ago, but they're back. An
undercover, plain clothes task force is needed on Bridge St, Prospect St. Among other "contact" spot's in town. I see a lot just driving thru town. Uniformed police presence has also gone down in town. The street hustler's and begger's are back along with the drug traffic. The eating establishment's patron's eat and leave town, there is not much to attract them to frequent the street. And the bar's do need to monitor their frequent flyer drinker's more closely. Thing's were looking up there for awhile, but with the winter weather here only the "street" people are out. I heard all the negative thing's being said in the past about Barry Cassidy, but I do feel thing's were better when he was involved, The town need's a good leader/ organizer and
planner to keep the good thing's going that attract people to frequent Bridge St.
And event's and entertainment and "happening's" need to be publicized more before they occur, I usually read about them on line or in the few new's sheet's
after they were held but not before. I was born and raised in Phoenixville, I like what i see with the "revitalization" but it need's constant care.

Good job on not posting the kids name. No need to mess with a young mans future just because he smokes pot.

Judge michaels will throw that out at the prelim. Down to disorderly.

To everyone who has complained about the name not being published: Being a suspect does not make a person guilty nor should it make someone open to public ridicule.
