Fired at randomly while driving. The bullet missed him by an inch.

“A 27-year-old man from Forest Lake fired one bullet at a passing truck and then sped off.

Troopers caught up with him a short time later and arrested him.

The State Patrol won’t comment on why the shooting happened, but Swonger says there were no arguments or road rage between them, he claims the driver just randomly opened fire.”

I am in shock! A rabid tRump supporter friend on Facebook just posted:

“Maybe it’s time to abandon ship before the next election cycle.” When asked why by another friend, he said, “It’s like taking a shower behind a manure spreader.” 😂😂😂

It didn't take Vos and Fitzgerald long to try and blame their, and Walker's mess on Evers.

“In a statement released Wednesday, Vos and state Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, wrote:

“We don’t blame Foxconn for altering plans in an ever-changing technology business. It’s also not surprising Foxconn would rethink building a manufacturing plant in Wisconsin under the Evers Administration. The company is reacting to the wave of economic uncertainty that the new governor has brought with his administration. Governor Evers has an anti-jobs agenda and pledged to do away with a successful business incentive for manufacturing and agriculture.”
