I’m assuming Democrat Aaron “Goldstein” is a strong supporter of of gun “control” and a fierce opponent of law abiding citizens being armed for self defence.

Many former liberals are now Conservatives after being mugged or robbed at gunpoint.

law enforcement sources confirmed that they had no one in custody and did not release a description of the suspects.

My radar indicates that means they are black.

Yo, now that’s woke! As in “wake the f—k up, Jew boy, and hand over your belongings”.

Chicago is full of woke thugs who reject “Chick Fil A” values, in accordance with Mayor Rahm.

What are the chances it was staged to make it look like his opponent is soft on crime?

But rather he makes the case for concealed carry—which I’m sure is the last thing he wants.
