A Canadian man visiting Wisconsin for a golf trip was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting while walking back to his hotel, according to multiple local reports.
Police found the victim, Giovanni Michael “Mike” Robinson, 32, suffering from a gunshot wound around 12:08 a.m. local time on Wednesday in Sheboygan Falls, according to local police. Despite life-saving measures and medical attention, Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sources tell Global News that Robinson is originally from the town of Stouffville, Ont., and was a former player in the Ontario Hockey League.
Just like you wouldn’t do a trip to North Korea or some war-torn country, you shouldn’t do a trip to USA in 2025. The country is currently in deep crisis with a rogue regime consisting of neo-nazi zealots & grifters and a big chunk of the population brainwashed by regime-supported propaganda on national TV (Fox News) and other random bullsh!t on proprietary social media, also radicalizing parts of the population. Plus they can all own guns legally. It’s neither a safe nor sane country currently. Sorry for the decent Americans out there but your situation is really bad and I don’t think you can turn this around non-violently anymore.
I would feel safer travelling to North Korea than USA.
I don’t think your risk assessment is very good.
I wouldn’t go to the US either right now. But, tens of millions of people have visited. A few hundred of those tens of millions have had incredibly bad experiences where they were locked up and then deported. Each one of those stories makes the news because it’s so shocking. It’s a few hundred people up from roughly zero.
North Korea only gets a few thousand western tourists each year, but cases like Otto Warmbier and Jeffrey Edward Fowle’s are pretty common.
