i live in edgerton and there a "gang" that these kids are trying to start. i feel whoever lives in edgerton needs to find out who these kids are and do something about this. if i come out of a bar and people try to beat the crap out of me for money im going to protect myself, even if their minors. some of these kids were in this "gang." The "gang" wears the colors yellow and black and say their name is SD. edgerton is a hick town lets keep it like that. Parents you need to talk to your kids soon.

No, the person on the other end of the drug deal did not get arrested or anything. Since the drug deal never happened (because he was shot at) he didn't technically do anything wrong.

Thanks a ton thekid3477 for clarification, and tjncj for the article. My next question...did anything happen to the victims who were on the other end of the drug deal? I mean were they just let off the hook, despite being involved in a (fake) drug deal?

Wow, 29 comments before someone demanded the photos!

Here you go.

I want to see pictures of these morons.

I know one of these kids very very well, and I find this whole story funny and think he got exactly what he needed. I don't even hate him, but he's hooked on dope and has no morals or values. I wish he could come out of jail a better person and grow up, but I know he's proud of jail time and anything that gives him street credit with the 16 wanna-be badasses. So I just wanna say to him, Don't drop the soap. LMAO

way back in journalism school, they taught us how to write.
where, when, who, why and how.
several of these KEY, journalism 101, elements are missing from this article.

etwown - karma sharma. That's a load of crap.

Was woodsman billy by chance?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha. Anna Fern and Jackie Butson are a couple of winners

God forbid if anyone was a positive role model and people earned a living the honest way.

This is a very confusing story.
What is the common thread between these 6 perp's, drugs???

Should have baught the drugs.

I thought someone seen OJ there..
Sad choices by young people...their lives are forever changed....I talk to my 18 year old son about personal responsibility constantly.

The apple doesn't fall from the tree.

Yes VERY VERY sad!! I know and went to school with 3 of these people obviously in Edgerton High School. Its really sad that it had to come down to this but i know at least one of them have been in trouble continuously dealing with fights, drugs etc. These kids were involved with pills (Oxycontin),marijuana, Coke/crack, and heroine (not just the easy way also involving needles)!!! It makes me sick to know this it has come down to this but they have been paving there way into jail for a while now!! So as said before what comes around goes around and karma really does go around a long way!!

When the consequences become severe enough, the behavior will change.

I agree woodsman. Remember the two juveniles bound for trial in that YMCA shooting? If you do a search on the Gazette it looks as if there was never a follow up story. Well one had the charges dropped and the other got 6 months of Huber and 5 years probation. And they actually shot somebody not just a van. This did occur in Dane county so maybe there will be a stiffer sentence.

Kinda funny the guy getting robed didn't have a gun too,drugs & gun,kinda go together! Next time maybe someone WILL be KILLED,you can bet,their WILL be a next time,because all they'll get is a slap on the hand in this county!!

I know this is irrelevant, but isn't it odd that kids from Edgerton,Evansville and Janesville were all together in this?

How does this seem odd to you? My "kids" are now 29, 31 and 33 and raised in Edgerton. And they all had "friends" in Janesville, Evansville and Milton. Did I keep an eye on their choice of friends? Yep! Did I hang out in the bars or go to parties? Nope!

When I was in high school not to long ago, that never would have happened. Maybe choosing to have friends from other cities was not to your likeing. And that is fine.

The city doesn't make the kid the parents do.

And get ready Parents! I'm seeing more and more small town kids "having fun in Madison". Now there's a fun town

Actually, it seems like (reading the Gazette and other sources) they intended to pretend they had drugs to sell to lure the victims to the location, where they would then rob them of the money they brought to buy drugs. The drugs probably didn't exist, which was what raised the victims' suspicions. At least, that's the way I read it.

If it wasn't a drug dealer hese punks would have found someone else to try to rob or maybe a convenience store. It wouldn't have stopped athing.

But I do agree LEAP has some good points.

law enforcement against prohibition. theyll tell you how ending prohibition of ALL drugs will eliminate situations like these.

After reading this story I was confused on what or who was being robbed. Now I think I understand after reading the comments. So was one of the kids arrested the kid who was going to get robbed? Why is there not a drug charge? This story is a little weird. I hope they do an update that explains things a little better.

leo, I assumed as much. No one wants to take the time to be a parent and a role model.

my guess meinelkm is that they were setting up somebody. they were there as if they wanted to buy his drugs, and instead they tried to rob him, which led to the shooting...

tincj-I know one of the girl's mothers. It explains alot, and not in a good way.

I assume they meant that the kids were pretending to go buy drugs from the victim, but intended on just robbing them and leaving with the money and the drugs. Obviously some outstanding citizens we have here. I know this is irrelevant, but isn't it odd that kids from Edgerton,Evansville and Janesville were all together in this? When I was in high school not to long ago, that never would have happened. Maybe they all met in a southern Wisconsin armed robbery chat room.

I have a daughter the same age as these two "young ladies". What sort of crappy parenting gets you this result?

Punk kids trying to be tough. What a bunch of losers.

What I don't understand...why would you disguise a robbery with a drug deal? Isn't that almost as bad??

All I can say is Karma goes a long way Miss Anna.
