By GAZETTE STAFF Monday, Oct. 13, 2008

JANESVILLE — Two teenage boys were referred to juvenile authorities on charges of battery to a school employee after what a police report describes as a large fight in the Parker High School cafeteria on Friday.

The boys, ages 14 and 16, also were referred on charges of disorderly conduct.

A teacher was listed as the victim on the police report, but the extent of any injury was not spelled out.

Three other boys, ages 15 and 16, were referred on charges of disorderly conduct in the same incident.

Arrested as an adult on a charge of disorderly conduct was Marcus A. Ware, 17, of 445 Waveland Road, Janesville.

This is a gang related fight i wish that this was in the report as so many deny the gang problem The intimidation of some students by a certain gang is getting out of context here and I know first hand on this one as it has went on since last year and when will it end. Car windows broke out by the same individuals over weekend after an incident where the targets wouldnt respond to the gang that tried to intimidate them. But because hoods covered their faces when they threw the bigs rocks thru the windows most likely no charges again will be filed. IMO The gangs need to be cracked down on hard and dealt with now!!!!! If the are gang members and roam the streets with the intent to commit a crime then arrest them........
