This is dumb. Crime must really be down in that town for the cops to start looking for dumb stoners on Myspace.
My guess is that they're looking to curtail the activity before it becomes a much larger problem. The offender is still young enough to decide to make a change, hopefully before his current pseudo-"gangstah" life turns into something much more serious.
In my mind, that's a major purpose of law enforcement...not simply to catch a suspect after something happens, but to play an active role in discouraging criminal activity in the future, while also doing its best to rehabilitate those who still have a shot at a productive existence.
