Man Stabbed Over Single Beer

The ridiculous nugget comes from Winnipeg. (That’s Canada.) A man was stabbed yesterday morning for a single beer. Crazy? Yeah, but get this. He was holding a whole case of beer.

Next, the stabby guy forced his way into the store, breaking a window, where he was later arrested.

Safe to assume it this wasn’t over Dark Lord bottles. [Canoe.ca]
