Illinois AG candidate robbed at gunpoint in Chicago during campaign photoshoot

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.

unfortunately it will probably give him fodder for his political career and will be spun as the need for further gun control.

[sarcasm] Yes, this wouldn't have happened if the gun manufacturers didn't conspire to flood Chicago with illegal guns.[/sarcasm]

I would not have happened if those of us who are working had a higher tax rate so that those who are just trying to turn theirs lives around would not be forced to have to resort to these sort of tactics to get a big screen TV and survive. The super bowl is coming after all...
