Deadly mass shooting reported at Molson Coors facility in Milwaukee
[Reuters]
Reuters•February 26, 2020

(Reuters) - Police in Milwaukee said on Wednesday that officers were on the scene of a "critical incident" at the Molson Coors headquarters, which local news media described as a shooting with multiple casualties.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, citing multiple unnamed sources, said seven people had been killed, including the shooter. That report could not be immediately confirmed.

A message posted by the Milwaukee Police Department on Twitter said only that police were "investigating a critical incident" and urged the public to "stay clear of the area" near the city center. No further official information was immediately made available.

A Molson Coors security official said: "We have no information at this time."

After all, Trump is in the oval office and Brexit got passed and those are just two things that are here because people freely fabricated, spread, and believed made-up stuff.

You want the truth? Taking the high road and striving to play clean and fair has done nothing for me but give me a bad case of constipation.

I can see why people are starting to tire of it.

There's not going to be any real consequences for InfoWars, for Breitbart, for Pizzagaters, for the QAnon types, etc. for all their made-up stuff.

Lying gets you rewarded - Welcome to real life without the illusory "high road". If you don't like it, then you need to fight to take away the capacity to reward those who lie.
