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.

Even after that she doesn't indicate by her comments that she would support your right to self defense.

Maybe the person was a member of the Red Hat Society or something? lol In that case, yes, I agree, they need mental health support.

If they had jobs they probably wouldn't work and what she said boils down to, throw money at it...A.H

And Wyvetter H. Younge still can't put two and two together to figure out it's to prevent this sort of thing the Framers put the Second Amendment into the Constitution. What a nitwit!

Just like Darwin's theory, eventually they will take themselves out of the genepool.
Disarm me so I can negotiate with armed robbers and educate them on the benefits of being productive, contributing members of society.

yes she is right he does need a job spliting rocks 18 hours a day with an operator of a good bull whip for the proper motivation

Our Democatic "LEADERS" here in the People's Republic of Illinois are a special kind of stupid. Take everybody's guns away from them and throw more money at problems.

Not making reference to anyone that didn't vote for them.
Stupid people are in office because STUPIDER people vote for them.
I don't know if stupider is a word, but I just used it because it fits.
With as many stupid people as we have in office, both state and federal, we have a bunch of stupider people in this country.

Stupider is an appropriate word over here......LOL Stupid is because stupider did......
