Ordinarily, a congressional candidate would love to get his name in the first paragraph of a story.
Not Robert Abboud, the Democratic candidate for the 16th congressional district seat of incumbent Don Manzullo.
A Barrington Hills family was robbed by three black men late last week.
The residents were bound and gagged, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Most homes sit on 5-acre or larger lots.
Barrington Hills village president Abboud made the first sentence of a long Chicago Sun-Times article, which added:
“We will find these people,” Abboud said Saturday. “We will hunt them down.”
And, in a message to potential buglers, this is how WBBM-News quoted Abboud:
“Abboud says Barrington Hills has no handgun restrictions.”
Even some of the rich liberals there might be packing if you come calling.
