    Uuuuh Wisconsinite here. Yeah this is weird. I think of Sheboygan as kind of a yuppie town. But we do have a lot of drunks with guns. That is just kind of an everywhere in Wisconsin thing.

    Found this…

    Robinson’s family, however, is telling the media what happened in the moments leading up to the shooting.

    They say Robinson and the rest of his group were leaving a bar and asked a delivery driver for a ride home. Family members allege that security footage shows the group eventually walked away, but then what appears to be the same car circled back to the group.

    According to Robinson’s family, that is when the shooting happened. Police have not confirmed nor denied that is what happened. - source

    Dude was up to something, nobody goes to Wisconsin for golf and there are no random drivebys in Sheboygan Falls either.

    Edit after more info: seems he was there for a golf tournament. Apparently some people do in fact go to Wisconsin for golf. It seems this guy ticked off someone local.

    Sorry for speculating.

    I grew up and worked around Sheboygan Falls. I have a friend or two that live there. Sheboygan Falls is pretty damn rural and quiet as fuck. “Drive-by shooting” is such a bafflingly unlikely cause of this shooting. I’d be more inclined to believe the police did it and are lying about it than believe Sheboygan Falls had a random drive-by shooting.

    Honestly at this time of year I’d say a deer poacher or some drunk rednecks plinking away with zero regard for what’s behind their target (or no target whatsoever) is a much more likely scenario. Actually, now that I consider it drunk redneck drive-by may in fact be a potential cause. Such a dumb fucking place filled with dumb fucking drunks.

    I’m so damn sorry for this man and his family and so damn happy I have moved far away from that fucking part of Wisconsin.

      Yeah, one of the local bartenders definitely knows who did it. They interviewed her and she’s tight lipped but she was lamenting for the shooters family already as well as the victims. Definitely a local drunk with a known temper. Very wisco.

      Edit: her quote was “It’s tragic. Either way you look at it – from the family’s side, from the shooter’s side, it is tragic," but just says she works in town, I imagined the bartender angle.

        The whole town is going to zip up tighter than a nun’s cunt. That’s the deal with towns that small. The petty politics and incestuous infighting take a back seat when outsiders start looking their direction. Whatever her profession, the quoted woman will get shushed and the cops will throw up their hands due to lack of physical evidence.

          Honestly, cops themselves could very well know. Domestic violence of all kinds and alcoholism are very tolerated in Wisconsin. And nobody will be the monster to deny a man his gun. I know someone who may very well kill someone some day just like this incident and everyone will just nod about how sad and how’d it come to that. But they all know. All of them know. And they’ve always known he’s dangerous and illegally armed. And it’s a liberal well to do town not some podunk backwoods. But somehow said individual is the perpetual pity party victim even while their violence is an open secret that even the cops enable. Leave it to Wisco.

          The requirement is that the person is taken out of the genre pool, not necessarily dead.

          I think some guy who shot his balls off because he used a bullet as replacement for a fuse in his car was a living recipient of a Darwin award.

            LOL, OK, FINE! Removing genitalia counts! Jesus.

            Dad took me to a client’s house to discuss converting his funds into an annuity. Old lady serves us coffee and immediately tells us how her husband got his dick blown off in WWII. “Hasn’t had a penis since he got home!”

            Fuck me lady, no one needed to hear that! Man took it in stride, apparently this was normal conversation, normal sharing. Maybe he was good with his fingers and tongue? She sure didn’t bring that up!
