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.

Go to a shithole country and you might get shot, stay out of the US!
I just assumed cops shot him but turns out, we don’t know if it were cops or not.
i live “in the area” and everyone around me is pretty shaken up. it’s been a while since the county had a random murder. what a terrible thing to happen.
Was probably targeted. Random drive bys aren’t a thing outside of specific cities but it’s a time honored way to wack a dude.
I bet nobody in your county sees a problem with guns either.
Believe it or not, there are some of us out here in the woods that still rely on firearms as a part of our daily lives to both put food on the table and protect against dangerous animals in the area (mainly black bears around me).
Admittedly I hadn’t thought of that, but I still believe there are alternative routes that could be explored to resolve those issues. Even in your part of the world I don’t believe you need to have 75 pounds of tannerite and a 100 round drum mag for your AR15 to combat the everyday bear.
Still doesn’t change the fact that you have insane gun laws.
The world is not like the US when it comes to gun deaths.
Places like Switzerland have more guns per capita and fewer gun deaths than the US.
Why is that?
I love how you try and justify 50k gun deaths (a lot of them being children) by saying you hunt.
Typical American.
Try living in a city lol. Murders are just on daily news. They happen semi-regularly but are almost always someone being targeted for a specific reason, which seems to be the case here. Random indiscriminate killings hardly ever happen, it’s just not worth it to risk life in prison for what, maybe a wallet or a botched robbery?
I wouldn’t call this a random murder, seems like they planned a drive-by when they knew he was going to be at an opportune place and time.
Who did it and why? Continue to be “shaken up” until you can tell us that.
That’s horrible.
Also, why would anyone visit the US at this point?
To get shot. Very exciting.
Shithole county
Yes. What a shithole country.
I’d personally like to leave the US but nobody wants someone with no money and no degree.
Don’t worry, three Masters degrees and I still can’t get call back.
3 master’s degrees is a red flag. It tells the employer you don’t really know what you want to do with life.
Try just putting only one of the degrees on your resume when you apply (the one most pertinent to the job). Same goes for past experience: don’t list everything, only list what is relevant.
Employers these days can get hundreds or even thousands of applications to a job posting. They filter these down to a manageable number with AI looking for keywords. Then they look through the remaining pile by hand to try to get down to just a few they can interview.
It’s easy to mess up a resume in a way that kills your chances of getting a job. One of the sure fire ways to do that is to clutter up your resume with irrelevant (to the job) experience or education.
free bullets
BYO casing + powder but the slug is provided free and with fast delivery.
No one wants to talk about golfer on golfer violence.
bringing a hole in one to new levels
This type of killing is unusual. For all at know he owed money to less than moral people.
Happens every single day in that shithole country. What are you talking about?
For losing a golf game? Maybe he was dealing the sweet Canadian fentanyl.
So unusual for a country that can’t go a single day without someone dying from gun violence. Yup, nothin sus about that statement.
Wow, picking motives out of thin air today, are we?
And that kids, is why we don’t go to Sheboygan
*USA
Fixed that for you, it’s all like that.
in Wisconsin there used to be a popular morning radio segment called “who’s more sheboygan” making fun of how backwards and redneck the area was. sheboygan has always had a reputation as the Florida of Wisconsin.
so yes, fair. America bad. but also here’s a little nugget of context to go with that.
Thank you for doing the explaining for me
You know, Canada should build some golf courses so people won’t have to travel down south to scratch that golf itch.
Canada is 4th for most golf courses per capita.
Usa is 10th
Nothing more American than misinformation.
It’s a joke, please don’t ban me. :<
