Chicago Anti-Second Amendment Politician Victim of Armed Robbery

Chicago Anti-Second Amendment Politician Victim of Armed Robbery

Dean WeingartenArizona -(Ammoland.com)- Aaron Goldstein, above, is an ambitious Chicago politician and Progressive lawyer.

He was campaigning in his ward in Chicago when he and his crew were robbed at gunpoint by three young men. The robbery took place on Thursday afternoon, 11 January, 2018.

From the chicagotribune.com:

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 cellphones 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.

 

The cliche in this story is that a Conservative is a Democrat who has been mugged. I do not think it applies to committed Progressives. They have so internalized their false assumptions about reality that it is nearly impossible to change those assumptions.  Consider  Mr. Goldstein’s policy on guns. One of his key assumptions is that the sole vested interest of the NRA is to sell more guns.

From chicagotribune.com:

He will undertake unique, progressive solutions to the spread of gun violence, including going after gun manufacturers and the NRA whose sole vested interest is to sell more guns.

He will aggressively wage a fight against Trump and his policies that hurt and disrupt Illinois and its residents. He will aggressively protect Illinois’ environment and promote a sustainable economy. He will eliminate legal obstacles to all Illinoisans having access to affordable, quality health care, which he believes is a fundamental right and not a privilege.

While the NRA is not opposed to the sale of firearms, it is not the NRA’s only vested interest. Maintaining their membership base is far more important.

His assumptions do not include the rule of law and a government limited in power by the Constitution. They cannot. They are directly opposed to it. You cannot have quality health care as a “right”, and have limited government.

As a Progressive, you can be sure his desire to “eliminate legal obstacles” does not include a reduction in government regulations and rules, but in adding to them.

I do not expect Aaron to learn much from his armed robbery experience. He will find ways to rationalize and deflect the experience to blame capitalism and the existing “system” for his difficulties. He will find ways to label the robbers as the real “victims”.

A consistent refrain in modern Progressivisim is the elimination of any responsibility for personal actions and choices.

Too bad they didn’t pistol whip that communist piece of human waste!!! The perps r probably good democrat voters. I grew up in a beautiful south side neighborhood. It’s now a war zone. What has happened to my home town of Chicago? Back in the day before the democrat party became a bastion of communist scum , they use to b able to run the city where most neighborhoods were safe. The original Mayor Daley knew how to run a city. Sure he wasn’t the most honorable guy BUT like zI said he knew how to run the city.

@Viper1 – The problem with your statement is there are not suppose to be any guns in Chicago!

Viper1

That, you are right about. I realized that as I was writing my post, however, Chicago’s very strick gun control laws doesn’t seem to be working (in my opinion as planned) and Chicago continuously being the example of how gun control doesn’t work would probably like nothing better than to impose their 3rd Reich tactic on neighboring states that doesn’t have as stringent control laws on guns. Rahm Emanuel who is an ardent anti Gun proponent would use any opportunity to expand Gun bans. My only surprise is he hasn’t claimed the guns used in the murders and other gun… Read more »

It would not surprise me if this was a set up to say if there was no guns this would not have happened. The lack of a good description also leads me to believe they didn’t want anyone cuaght, out of 5 victims not one could give a decent description except maybe early twenties. Fake news to bring about results.

Bob Moore

The only fake news is these guys weren’t shot! This Chiraq where only the thugs have guns and law abiding citizens are unarmed! Thanks dead fish Emanuel!

Illinois peasant

He’s a “progressive” Chicago politician. Which means he is as creepy and corrupt as it is possible for a human to become. It means he has utter contempt for other humans and is so blinded by his self regard and perceived virtuousness that he is literally incapable of empathy or analytical thinking. Trust me, I suffer the consequences of the policies that these loathsome parasites enact. Frankly I wouldn’t give a tinker’s damn if he ceased to exist.

Gary Mcilnay

So glad I moved from Illinois in 1966.

Macofjack

@Hiwayman Mcilnay – I retired in 94 and Illinois was my home of record. The wife wanted to go back to IL, but I got us to MO. Never made a better move in my life!

Gordy

You are so correct. Thank You for sharing.

tomcat

@ov that’ funny.

Scotty Gunn

He looks really surprised in the pic, were they still robbing him?

durabo

Meth will do that. He is in Sh*tcago, remember?

TheHolyCrow

No, that was when they put the barrel up his you-know-what. It’s a little game they play in the hood after they rob you called “hide the barrel”. Some people like it, like him, as you can see by his smile.

Timothy Votaw

I love this idiocy. No description of the suspects, I see. Now, that is almost a marker that the perps are minority, given that part of Chi-town likely black. We are so afraid, so weak, so cowardly, unable to face reality. No doubt, a downhill slide for this society.

Wild Bill

@TV, Nope, not us, but we are not politicians pushing a scenario, and more particularly Aaron Goldstein is.

Old 1811

Actually, Albany Park is NOT black. It’s blue-collar white neighborhood on the North Side. There’s a large Korean neighborhood nearby (not known for its lawlessness), and a small Filipino enclave around the corner. But mainly, it’s Polish and Italian.

Red Dawn

We will be having a write in contest today to see if anyone can guess the RACE of these young thieves.

durabo

I live in the Phoenix area, where the newspaper of record is the “Arizona (People’s Democratic) Republic” (my inclusion within parentheses). There are many felonies committed in the area, especially in the minority residential and business districts, but the Republic is loath to provide any description of a fugitive or captured perp, unless he is a Caucasian male. A typical report would be, “Police are on the lookout for a male, 17 to 20 years old, black hair, brown eyes, 5′ 4″, 186#, who speaks with an accent….” and so on. With so many details, would it not be useful… Read more »

He must be too low on the food chain to get a permit to carry. I feel certain that if he and his henchmen could they would have guns to protect themselves. This is funny and the looks in his eyes could be from amazement that some of his people would actually do that to him. Deer in the headlights?

Mike the Limey

Never call the scum “progressives” as it’s a term they invented to cover up what they really are: Marxists.
Same goes with the term “liberal” adopted as camouflage by socialists.
Call the buggers what they really are.

Samuel Stephens

He has eyes like ancient vampire actor Bela Lagosi, creepy little kommie fart.

bflohitman45

LMFAO! Now that is justice!

Charles R. Hunt III

First of all, That pic. Wow. Creepy. Unfortunately, our unlucky (deservingly so) pol will continue his anti 2A work and rhetoric, with an even more zombie like stare, and blame us for putting evil guns into the hands of poor, misguided individuals, like his robbers. Because WE’RE the bad guys.

Wild Bill

@OV, Yeah, zombie like. Is that the zombie apocalypse that the young people all talk about?

Mike11C

Well, after spraying coffee out of my nose because of the title, it has never been more evident that liberalism is a mental disorder.

Hazman

Guns aside, I would imagine that Aaron and his Crew, would have given up their belongings if the three-thieves had baseball bats or tire irons. Does he NOT SEE that it is truly the people, not the weapon of choice??? Either way, they would still be cleaning their shorts, after the incident.

Gunwrites

The only way to possibly have opened his mind was to suffer a serious beat-down. Better luck next time. And there will be a next time.

Gunwrites

when asked to describe the armed robbers he replied, “Honorable Constituents”.

Gunwrites

Karma or poetic justice? You decide.

james

The locals were just ‘Redistributing the Wealth’.

Macofjack

It couldn’t have happened to a better POS!

Mark Are

For one thing…when will people quit calling communists “progressives”? Too bad he didn’t meet the fate of so many other armed robbery victims. That would have eliminated one brain dead moron from the gene pool.

Joseph Martin

A politician and a lawyer, outstanding, two for the price of one.

durabo

Aaron, you should have flashed that dazzling smile and batted your eyelashes at the miscreants, you feigel!

hippybiker

Karma is a b*tch. And, man, am I ever glad that I got out of the crap hole called Ilinoy. Spelling on purpose.

Rock

Now that is a crime with a great ending. Is that his “rainbow club” I.D. pic ? Quite the happy, creepy looking lil lib/Dem POS. He will probably continue to spew his anti 2nd amendment crap for all others but secretly carry now, like many other tw faced anti gun scum,..

Robert Thomas

It would be a whole lot more ironic if he got shot.

Wild Bill

@Robert Thomas, And beneficial, too! Aaron does not have it within him to defend himself, and he knows it. To be a man, he has to lower the standard and bring us all down with him.

Terry

His parents did not teach him anything about the nazi disarming of the Jewish people.

Reginald Hafner

Karma at work.

Clark Kent

Don’t you LOVE this? Hopefully this punk will be robbed MANY more times until he ‘gets’ it.

Charlie

You are right, I do Love Poetic Justice. But for True Progressives the shock of reality doesn’t last long.

Wild Bill

@"MCCLOUD!" Kent, Clark… is it you?! I am going to mark this on my calendar.

The Revelator

For those unaware.

Clark Kent was a pseudonym used by an individual who had to make a switch after his other three letter handle became too wildly synonymous with stupidity.

Whether or not this is the same individual remains to be seen, but good memory on the part of Wild Bill for this post.

Wild Bill

@The Rev, Thank you, sir. Nice to see you back and guarding against Soros/Bloomers/Clintoon propagandists socialist trolls.

The Revelator

@ Wild Bill, I never stopped, though sometimes it is not always done strictly on Ammoland. Work and Family dictated time spent last year, though for us cursed with memory Gil will forever be the buffoon to end all. One thing to consider however, though it may have changed in times since, the old Clark Kent/Gil would post on California time most commonly, or between the hours of 1 and 4 AM East coast time. That is why I have not fully committed to acknowledging this as the same individual. If it is someone new to Ammoland, a name change… Read more »

The Revelator

Oh, lest anyone forget that original name… The slime ball ammoland awaits to crawl from the small dirty hole it crawled into is none other than “Gil”

Wild Bill

Way to go Aaron! You are finally contributing to your society in a meaningful way!

Green Mtn. Boy

Say it isn’t so. Chitcago has some of the nations civilian disarmament and said victim was actively pushing for even more civilian disarmament,justice.
