The last comment was totally unnecessary. The cleanest area can have cockroaches. That is not an issue, the issue is, those are the homes of individuals. I just hope that no one was injured.

Wow! It's been 90 minutes since this story was filed and no one from Janesville has made rude comments about Beloit yet?! Amazing and a good way to start the day. Hope everyone involved in the Beloit incident is safe.
