On Police bust two men for burglary, attempt

DiGriz, Do you honestly think that putting more laws out there to prevent a felon from holding a gun is going to stop them from doing it... I certainly don't think that'll do any good. These guys need help! they need to be taught how to turn their life around and they need treatment for the addiction they're suffering from.... this is pretty much the only solution to the problem these guys have that they put upon themselves!

This is one problem that Janesville is facing, people are so judgemental on people that steal to get their fix, aka HEROIN ADDICTS! Do you think they want to steal from people? do you think they want to hurt loved ones and ruin their lives? OF COURSE THEY DONT! The evil demon of ADDICTION to heroin is so POWERFUL that it makes them to nasty things to get their high! Prison and jail aren't the only options here! They can still get their fix in jail. Jails and Prisons need to offer an addiction clinic or something to help get these guys sober! If they're not sober when they get out of jail or prison they'll keep stealing and hurting people to get that high they were never taught how to control!

It's obvious here everyone, these guys need help. They're suffering from heroin addiction! Obviously they were burglarizing places and stealing money to get their high! Janesville's need for a methadone clinic and a suboxone clinic are extremely high! Besides Mercy who only accepts people on insurance! (THATS BULLCRAP!) I have several friends that are addicts and they have to either drive to Madison everyday to stay sober or Beloit! Beloit is one city-stop that all this heroin is coming to Janesville from!

Thank you for clarifying yourself beachsexton, That would be awesome if Hero would step up to the plate and advocate to the kids of Milton, if he isn't already.

beachsexton - i think you need to read the article on this website about the Van Man/clean needle guy! They're not pressing charges against the "user" because for all they know, HE SAVED THE KIDS LIFE, i was there when this happened, I asked the police if anything was going to happen to the "user"!! They want to get down to the nitty gritty - the bigger picture - the big dope dealers and they know who the big guys are, it's just a matter of time before they get taken down! How long did they watch the big mobsters from the mid 1900s before they finally caught them on something to arrest them?!?!?! They watched them for a while before they took them down.

technoguy, your blog about the whole addiction process is amazing... that's exactly how I feel, i do say that people who aren't affected by something like this are very judgemental!

It doesn't say that he got it from the clean needle guy, i know he got it from the him, they call him the Van Man by the way. I have a business card of his that I got from one of my friends... At first I thought he was crazy, handing out clean needles and narcan, turnekits, narcan needles and all that crap but hearing the reason he does this is amazing. I'm glad someone cares enough about the them to help them out in a neutral way.

THE VAN MAN, I'm pretty sure wrote a prescription of Narcan to the "user" so that when things like this happen, it can be used. Thats right a prescription of it! I'm pretty sure he shows them how to use it too!

Like the technoguy said, It's so entirely easy to say we need this and to let the addicts die of their own addiction or more treatment programs but you don't know what it's like until it affects you personally HOW HARD OF A STRUGGLE ADDICTION CAN BE!

First of all they need to want to beat it, they need family and friends and support, not someone that says LET THEM DIE, ITS THEIR OWN FAULT, or stupid comments like that! That's just being heartless. Put your own kid, brother, sister, dad, mom, best friend, whoever into an addicts shoes and try to visualize how good of a person they are but covered by a demon that does anything to get it's high, that's what addiction is like for someone. You don't know until you've gotten to experience someone close to you or even yourself fall to the hands of addiction.
