Couple Assaulted Outside Liquor Store Over Suspected Bud Light Purchase
Newsweek ^ | May 9, 2023 | Thomas Kika

A couple was reportedly assaulted outside of a liquor store after being confronted by a group of men over their suspected purchase of Bud Light beer, police suspect.

The incident took place on Saturday night in the city of Vaughn, Ontario, a suburb located just north of Toronto in Canada. York Regional Police said in an official statement that a couple was accosted by a group of three men after leaving a liquor store located on Jane Street and Major Mackenzie Drive West, allegedly targeting the 26-year-old male victim's supposed purchase of Bud Light and using various homophobic insults.

When one of the men approached the male victim, the female victim, 27, tried to step between them and keep the situation from escalating, at which point the suspect physically assaulted her. The two other men then got involved and the group began attacking both victims. The group of attackers fled the scene after a bystander intervened. The woman was brought to a nearby hospital for treatment of her injuries, while her partner sustained only minor injuries and did not require medical attention.

The Bud Light beer brand became a flashpoint of controversy amongst conservatives after its parent company, Anheuser-Busch, sent a commemorative Bud Light can to Dylan Mulvaney, a popular transgender social media influencer, to commemorate her 365-day transition to "girlhood". Despite the fact that the so-called "partnership" between the beer brand and Mulvaney only amounted to a short social media video, the reaction swiftly escalated, with conservatives threatening to boycott the brand and destroying cans of the product on video, while others allegedly called in bomb threats to Anheuser-Busch facilities

Wow, the media is really getting desperate. Maybe they could report that the attackers had bleach, a noose and (12) AR-15s and yelling “remember J-6….J-6!!!”

I call the report BS on its face. However, the idea of something smelling too bad for the Canadians is a sure sign that blatant Nazification of big business can trigger a response even in the most saturated of socialized minds.

“Homophobic”… No. Dislike perhaps, but the intentional misuse of a phrase, in this case “phobic” is an intentional attempt to smear. Intentional intent to intimidate. Like usual.

I just can’t believe they buy Bud Light in Canada.

Bob and Doug McKenzie would not approve.
