A candidate running for Illinois Attorney General was robbed at gunpoint while he was taking promotional photos for his campaign Thursday afternoon in the Northwest Side ward where he’s also the Democratic committeeman, according to his campaign manager and authorities.
Aaron Goldstein, 42, and several members of his campaign team were in the middle of taking publicity shots when the robbery happened, according to Goldstein’s campaign manager. 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 cell phones 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.
Campaign manager Robert Murphy, who was not with the team during the incident, said Goldstein, Democratic ward committeeman for the 33rd Ward and a resident of Albany Park, was taking promotional images for the campaign with an “in-the-neighborhood kind of” message.

LMAO...couldn’t happen to a better guy.
Ya couldn’t sit down and write better comedy.
And if elected he will still be a wimp on law enforcement.
All I can say the “Candidate” is and idiot! He needs to consider a different location to film his propaganda films the next time.
That's all the description we need.
Hmmmm. No description of the suspects? Really.........
LMAO!!!!!!!!
Speaking of Chi-town...

Check out the the stuff on foot pursuits...
So they achieved their goal. Good for them.
I was thinking along the same lines! I could see this as a skit on SNL back when it was actually funny. Morriss or Ackroyd as the politician, Radner, Newman and Belushi as the perps.
Chicago Democrat robbed by other Chicago Democrats.
Naturally, this guy is a Democrat.
I wonder if that old saying that “a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged” will apply in this case?
Or will he have to be beaten to within an inch of his life for that conversion to take place?
That's as good a description as a composite drawing.
The old definition of a conservative used to be a liberal who had been mugged. The current crop of liberals has quaffed so deeply from the Kool-Aid, has become so degenerate, is so addled they wouldn't recognize reality if it punched them in the face. Literally.
HA...! The usual suspects... :)
Speaking of s-—holes, we’ve got a few places here that also meet the description.
Three youths between the ages of 20 and 24.......They won’t be hard to spot, they should be caught by tomorrow.
The subjects were three stick figure looking individuals. You cannot make this stuff up!
I was rather wondering the same thing
The whole blog is funny but a tad troubling. Trumpster talks about third world S..tholes, Crapcago is definitely a first world sh..hole.
The national slide to extinction continues.
