Brutal picture of the guy's face at the link.
Chicago politics.
Outrageous
Looks like a major lawsuit and some jail time coming to those two dumb ass attackers. But then again, it IS Chicago.
I wish all children were as supportive of their parents!
(/sarc)
Reminds me of an early Sopranos episode when Tony uses a stapler on one of his uncle’s goons.
If she had been Republican, they would have gleefully put it in the first sentence.

LOL.
It’s Chicago.
Do they even have GOP politicians in Chicago?
THIS is SOTO....
Soto was the chief sponsor of the Living Wage Act. The Living Wage Act proposes that employees working for companies that receive state contracts receive a fair wage of at least $8.20 per hour. Soto guided this bill through the House of Representatives, but the measure is stalled in the Illinois Senate.
Soto sponsored FamilyCare, which would provide health insurance to the working parents of children eligible for the KidCare program. The measure would benefit up to 200,000 working parents who cannot afford private insurance. Soto continued to work to expand health care by sponsoring a law that extends Medicaid coverage to low-income women for the treatment of breast or cervical cancer.[citation needed]
In an effort to alleviate teacher shortages, Soto sponsored a bill that would award 1,000 scholarships for students to become teachers. Soto believes these scholarships would provide students with educational opportunities and equip school with more qualified teachers.
In her district, Soto has worked with State Senator Miguel del Valle where they have sponsored citizenship and immigration workshops to offer bilingual educational, social and professional assistance to residents new in the community. They have hosted senior citizen health fairs and distributed valuable health and social service information and referrals. Soto and del Valle believe that there is a need for economic and business development in their district; the two have hosted a Construction Opportunities Conference in which members of the community were invited to learn about job opportunities with the Soldier Field Renovation.
Soto also voted for the 7% “cap”; which raised property taxes for recently purchased homes and commercial properties.
Link photos not too clear on who is who - except the victim
& I assume, the perps with arrogant, tough smirks on their
ugly faces. (Of course, the perps momma “won” - I guess.)
Pitiful. Is that the “winner” grinning like a coon below
the nasty kids’ photos?
I hate when that happens.
A little jail time will wipe the smirks off.
Ok are we going to start banning Staple Guns? Will there be a waiting period to purchase a Staple Gun?
Was wondering about that ....
And being Chicago, mama ain’t gonna get tainted one iota. I hope the guy sues the pants off them........
most the perp will get is community service - mom is connected to the machine
