ELIZABETH, N.J. (AP) ―
Sen. Raymond Lesniak says he was robbed early Saturday by two young men who broke into his Elizabeth home while he was sleeping.
Lesniak tells The Star-Ledger of Newark that he was woken up by noise and saw two men standing just feet from his bed.
The Union County Democrat tells the newspaper that the men seemed surprised to find anyone at home, and one suggested they shoot him, though Lesniak did not see a gun.
The 62-year-old Lesniak says the men took cash, a cellular phone and the keys to his Lexus hybrid, which they left untouched in his garage.
Police are calling the home invasion "highly unusual" for the normally tranquil are near Kean University. They say the men, who are still at large, broke in through a basement window.
We’re robbed at home every day by our local, state and federal muggers!
“Says” he was robbed. Sounds suspicious.
Based on the fact that the state senator's party ID is not mentioned, he's most likely a DemocRAT. Too bad NJ doesn't have reasonable castle doctrine laws like Texas. There could have been a happy ending to this story.
Yes, he was identified as a Democrat in the third sentence.
beat me to it./
It could be seen as a proxy voter’s revenge.
Like when a carpenter charges you a grand to put up
basic bookcase shelves.
Would your standard Ranch Style house be considered an Elizabeethan home if it is in Elizabeth New Jersey?
He is probably one of the few who could have been armed if he chose to do so. I guess he chose poorly.
Which was in the third paragraph. But a Republican would be identified as such in the first sentence.
He was “woken up”? — I think that’s bad grammar. Shouldn’t it be “he was awakened”
“...and the keys to his Lexus hybrid, which they left untouched in his garage.”
I had to chuckle at that. I can just see the bad guys heading to the garage for their getaway car and going “Oh man! What the heck....?”
Even the run of the mill crook knows what a POS a hybrid is. But I'll bet they got all the incriminating papers that he had gathered up to hide his malfeasance
I bet we have a new convert to anti-gun control!
Girly man Sen Raymond Lesniak writes: “I support strong gun control laws ...”
I wonder what this douche bag will say now that he has been mugged with criminals with guns and he was defenseless.
Hey senator gun grabber... if only you had been armed!

Yes, I agree. Many is the time I had to read a whole stinking article just to find out the culprit was a Democrat! Republican rascals are always identified as pubbies in the first sentence.
What's a "tranquil are"?

What I was able to find in a short hunt is that he may be more reasonable than the average democrat, so don’t jump the guy too hard yet.
“He that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.” Pv.28:19’)”
Great tagline.
