 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. According to the Tribune, law enforcement sources confirmed that they had no one in custody and did not release a description of the suspects. Goldstein’s campaign manager Robert Murphy, who was not with the candidate at the time, explained that he was taking promotional campaign photos with an “in-the-neighborhood kind of” message, according to the Tribune. The incident took place in Albany Park. . . . |

Because he is a leftie,this is Chicago,he is running for election,and he would have to say the robbers were black.
I would guess a quiet word has already gone out to the police to track the robbers down to get their stuff back,and then to let them go. Lesson learned. He won't do this again without a police escort/
