Illinois State Rep. Younge Robbed at Gunpoint in Home

[red-beard]

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — A 77-year-old Illinois state representative is happy to be alive after a man with a gun pushed his way into her home and robbed her of $7.
Wyvetter H. Younge was not injured in the robbery that occurred around noon Friday.
Younge said she thought her son had knocked on her door and opened it, but instead found an armed man. He told her to get on her hands and knees, then grabbed her purse and ran.
Younge, a Democrat, said she didn't recognize the man, who wore a red hat and red jacket and dark pants. She said she's going to pray for him.
"This robbery and what's happening to this community is the result of a lack of a supportive system for our youth. We need jobs," she said. "This happened in broad daylight at noon. We need a mental health support system. This is further evidence of that."
Illinois State Police are investigating.

Smileys and underlines added by me.

Yep, Pray for the daylight robber. And then go to the legislator and ban more guns.

See! Gun control in the Windy City is working!

In Texas she could have shot him on the way out the door and there'd be one less home invader on this earth. I may be a liberal, but if someone needs to be killed, I'm not going to stand in the way of a law abiding person who's willing to do it. BTW, last I heard Joe Horn was out mowing his lawn and playing with the grandkids.

East ST.Louis is to ST.Louis what Garry Ind is to Chicago, but worse.

No one really cares as long it stays in E. STLouis
and so it goes

East St. Louis is about 300 miles south of Chicago.

Damn, not very many towns are worse than Gary.

I take that back, Ford Heights IL. has got to be close.

Hmm. I never remember seeing in the news that he was no billed. OTOH, that isn't "NEWS".

I'm 100% for the castle law.

I don't know if he has been no billed, but he's definitely back home. If I was a betting man, I'd bet the first grand jury no billed and the prosecutor's holding on to it for the next grand jury. Hopefully it's because he wants to make sure he has it right and not something more sinister.

Let us not forget, that Harris Country is semi-DA-less right now.

Hopefully, someone better than Chuck will get in. He was a Spitzer!
