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

Bud in Canada. Did one of the attackers say, “Dis be Labatts country!”
Everyone knows you can only drink Labatts and Molson up there. BTW Molson is decent beer.
Lumberjacks?
You bought bud light,ey?
You gonna put on a dress and drink your tranny beer,ey?
Molson is Canada’s Yuengling.
Exactly. A BS story from a publication that sold for a dollar and was overpriced
I’m sure Budweiser is in contact with Washington politicos, probably The WH. Are we seeing the beginning of government/media complex “operations” to restore Budweiser’s good name?
“Tune in tomorrow for another episode of ‘A Likely Story!’”
Yeah. Bull squeezings.
I need to purchase some Bud Light as a joke for a family member visiting from out of state.
I’m contemplating how to do that with minimal embarrassment, and how I might explain it to the cashier at check out if I feel the need.
This is why it was such a colossal screw up for AB. It’s not really “boycott” in the traditional sense, that being pissed of customers of a certain political persuasion intentionally not purchasing a product.
This is MUCH deeper. Their customers now have to intentionaly buy their product knowing they will be judged by others as either a fag/tranny or supporter of such people.
They cannot buy BL and remain politically neutral on the transgender degradation of our society. They are forced to take a stand on a divisive political/social issue, that is NOT supported by average Americans no matter what the media try’s to make us believe.
And because there are so many interchangeable options, nearly identical in quality and price sitting right next to BL on the shelf, customers can effortlessly make the “choice” to avoid all that.
I’m still stunned at the magnitude of this screw up.
“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.”
This is EXACTLY what was done in LaHood when they were ‘boycotting’ Korean liquor stores...except it wasn’t national news, and only barely local news.
So why the fuss now?
Rrrrrrrright
It’s not a good beer anyhow but the story is so implausible that it’s genuinely funny.
How do they know they were men who attacked them? Was one of them a biologist? Hang on let me add an “ eh “ to that.
They were holding a noose and yelling "This is Tranny country!"
Imported beer....
Bee?
Imagine paying $50 Canadian for a case of that sock water
“And that’s ok”
Newsweak churning it for The Cause. It’s those dang Nigerian brothers again...
TOTAL BS.
