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.
