Chicago Anti-Second Amendment Politician Victim of Armed Robbery

Chicago Anti-Second Amendment Politician Victim of Armed Robbery

Aaron Goldstein, above, is an ambitious Chicago politician and Progressive lawyer.

He was campaigning in his ward in Chicago when he and his crew were robbed at gunpoint by three young men. The robbery took place on Thursday afternoon, 11 January, 2018.

From the chicagotribune.com:

The robbery took place about 3:25 p.m. in the 4600 block of North Albany Avenue in Albany Park, when three men in their early 20s approached them, according to a law-enforcement source.

One of the men flashed a handgun and demanded the camera equipment and other personal belongings from the team, according to police.

The gunman and two other men robbed Goldstein and four others of camera equipment and their cellphones before they ran away, the law enforcement source said. As of Thursday evening, no one was in custody, police said.

Police described the three suspects as between 20 and 24 years old. They did not release a detailed description of the suspects.

 

The cliche in this story is that a Conservative is a Democrat who has been mugged. I do not think it applies to committed Progressives. They have so internalized their false assumptions about reality that it is nearly impossible to change those assumptions.  Consider  Mr. Goldstein's policy on guns. One of his key assumptions is that the sole vested interest of the NRA is to sell more guns.

Aaron will believe that more gun control could have prevented this crime, and the young men who committed it were forced to do so by racism.

I would not doubt that as he was being robbed, his bleeding heart was overflowing with compassion for the criminals.

Dang shame he didn’t eat one for the cause. He is probably an ally of Soros and Rahm.

And Aaron will still fear a pallid, born-again, flyover country gunowner like me far more than the thugs he probably still considers to be fellow travelers. I no longer bother wondering if it is ignorance or hatred which makes so many like Aaron think and act as they do... I’m too old and disinclined to worry about it anymore.

I wonder what might have changed if Mr. Goldstein's brethren had some guns back in WWII?

Too bad they didn’t shoot him. Thinning our anti-gunners is not a bad thing.

This anti-2A proglodyte won’t learn a thing from this experience. Guarantee, he will draw exactly the wrong lesson. It’s how they’re wired.
