A Democratic candidate running for Illinois attorney general was robbed at gunpoint Thursday during a campaign photoshoot in Chicago.
The Chicago Tribune reported that Aaron Goldstein, 42, and members of his campaign team were approached by three men in their early 20s. One of the men had a handgun and demanded Goldstein and the campaign aides turn over the camera equipment and other personal belongings, including their cell phones, which they did.

Too bad the candidate and his crew were all unarmed. I assume the taxpayers will have to pay to replace the stolen equipment.

I didn’t click the link. Norwegians?
Not that the media has a long reputation of being loathe to fully describe suspects or anything....

Wikipedia describes the Albany Park neighborhood in Chicago as: “one of highest percentages of foreign-born residents of any Chicago neighborhood.”

Illinois AG candidate robbed at gunpoint in Chicago during campaign photoshoot I hate headline English. I couldn't tell whether he was robbed at gunpoint or he robbed someone at gunpoint. Either would be as likely in Chicago.

The ALLEGED mayor there is far too busy with other matters to deal with the thugs now controlling the streets.

Well, at least Illinois is not like California. An entire sanctuary State.

My guess that HIGH level of Gun Control isn’t working so well in Chi-town.

HIGH (as in dope high) level?
The real issue is the brilliant dedicated City Leadership, suffering from Terminal ComDem Insanity.

Lemme guess...his campaign featured calls to show compassion for those committing crimes and for intensive rehabilitation programs to be offered to them.

If only guns were illegal in Chi-town... then everyone would’ve been safe.
