Why am I not surprised.

On Janesville's rental vacancy rate a worry

Posted on August 30 at 8:44 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

General motors shuts down, the City Council votes to help fund a new ice arena instead of voting to create biz incubators and yet there's surprise that rentals have gone down? Maybe once they build the ice arena the entire city council can don sandwich boards and go stand out on I-90 flagging down potential workers who'll need apartments. Ya think?

On Preliminary hearing set for Janesville murder suspect

Posted on June 13 at 7:54 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

Humphrey was riding the streets of Janesville with a LOADED handgun. What about that says he's a nice guy? For those here who have posted what a great guy he is, you need to make an appointment with a therapist. Would a nice guy carry a loaded handgun while out barhopping? Would a nice guy attempt to conceal his actions? Would a nice guy even THINK of shooting at someone over a few inconsequential words? He KILLED someone for crying out loud. As in dead. Never coming home. His victim had a daughter who will never see her dad again. Show a little common sense. Sure, it's possible you may have had good experiences with your neighbor, but did you really know him? Did you suspect that he even had a handgun, let alone took it out into the community while he was riding his bike? I've had guns off and on throughout my life - trap guns and target guns. You don't carry a loaded handgun except for one reason - you think you might need to use it. There is no excuse for what Humphrey did. None. According to what little I've read about the precipitating incident it was little more than macho posturing - something that would have evaporated in seconds if Humphrey had chosen to just simply drive the other way. Instead he elected to "get even" and in the process he ended one life and ruined dozens of others. He deserves no pity. He deserves to be sentenced to the maximum penalty under the law.

How does one go about razing a home that is partially under water? Sound like a dicey task, probably requiring specialized removal experts.

On Janesville man killed in shooting

I'm having trouble with one part of this story. Did anyone else notice that in the beginning of the description of the shooting it says Aegerter was in the back seat of the vehicle, and later it says he "was found"? What the heck does that mean? Was he found in the vehicle? Outside the vehicle? Alone? With his two friends? Did they take he out of the vehicle and just leave him, or did they call the cops and wait for them to arrive? I'd like to hear some clarification on that.

This is a huge shock for this community. I feel so very bad for his family and friends. What could be so important in a few second confrontation that would make it seem reasonable to shoot someone? Insane.

On Dog’s wound prompts effort to change law

r4ofkind - my mistake - not on a sidewalk, on a railroad corridor. And the owner was ticketed. Got it. Still doesn't make what the archer did OK. Still think he's a nut job that needs to be put away somewhere where he can't hurt animals - or people.

On Dog’s wound prompts effort to change law

Response to r4ofkind - So the huge incision in the dog's side was just stage magic? The animal's side was penetrated by the arrow. Doesn't matter rubber tipped, metal tipped. He shot the animal then said "It was a good shot. It was a kill shot." Does that sound like the response of a rational person? And is there any indication - even the slightest - that the dog and its owner were on this man's property? No. They were on a public sidewalk - for God's sake - just out for a walk. What's the matter with people like you - making excuses for this whacko? He shot the dog. Intentionally. Where the man took the dog for care is his business and has absolutely no relevance to the issue - which is - who's he going to shoot next? A person? The shooter should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I'm thinking jail time would be appropriate here. The law should be changed making unprovoked attacks on animals a felony. What could have possessed this nut job? I mean really, folks. This is not rational behavior.
