A fight between two middle school girls is caught on tape, and it's making the rounds online.

It happened over the weekend, and Ravenswood police say they're investigating this shocking fight.

"A lot of juveniles think that they can't get in trouble and they're not going to go to jail. Well they're badly mistaken because there are jails out there specifically for juveniles," said Chief L.B. Morrison of the Ravenswood Police Department. "I mean this is, this is disgusting."

Chief Morrison says posting a violent video like this one on Facebook is basically inviting the police into your personal lives.

"When it comes to the Internet and social media, once it's out there, it's out there. There's really no removing this from the Internet now. It's there and it's going to stay there,' said Morrison.

13NEWS showed the video to people in Ravenswood. They were shocked that something so violent, between two very young girls, could happen right in the middle of their small town.

"You could hear somebody in the background condoning fighting," said Brianna Morgan. You could hear somebody in the background telling that little girl to cover her face. I would never condone fighting."

"Terror knows no one peculiar country, no native ground. Nor does it discriminate against men because of their race, color or religion. Terror has invaded all countries, all homes, all professions.....and possibly, therein lies the lawful fright of Terror. Now, would you ever believe that Terror could infiltrate upon the placid, green fields of baseball? Come, sit yourself beside me, and look out upon the playing field, while I tell you the eerie and uncanny history of the Ravenswood Rangers...a baseball team like no other."

-- From "The Graveyard Nine, the story of the Ravenswood Rangers" in Boris Karloff Presents Tales of The Frightened, by Michael Avallone (1973).

your public schools - taking God out and teching kids they’re nothing more than evolved apes, and we’re shocked that they behave this way?

they actually feign being surprised, they have been encouraging the moral breakdown for decades.

People are still using tape to record things?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

What, is that police chief, like, twelve years old?

Local news, the place where an admitted "low information voter" caller on Rush's broadcast this afternoon gets 99.9 percent of her news of the world, seems tailored to an audience younger than that of a middleschool.

Note the look of scolding "shock" and serious disapproving gleam in the eyes of the reporters.

Do they go to school to learn that kindergarten teacher body language, or what?

What, is that police chief, like, twelve years old?

He just looks 12...He probably has the experience of a 19 year old...

Check out some of those interviewed and the news geeks...What a strange place...

What do you find strange about it(other than the fight)?

Nearly everyone interviewed seemed odd, the female talking head was look at the wrong camera while talking, the police chief appeared to be a spook, with uncle fester eyes and seemed to be about 20 years old. The one shocked woman holding her mouth and saying "Oh my God" while watching the video of two kids fighting tried hard to appear stunned...Never mind just a few weeks ago, just several hundred miles northeast of her, some guy just murdered about 2 dozen 6 year olds.

Come on...

At first I thought the word, “Violent” in the headline said, “Violin.” Now what would that look like? Something similar to Melo-M!

Where does it say that this happened at the school?

Where does it say that these girls went to a public school?

Maybe I missed something but I took the term "Middle school girls," as a description of their age and gender.
