Here are the details from <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160625003931\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2016\/03\/19\/illinois-lawmakers-daughter-charged-in-staple-gun-attack-on-political-rival.html?intcmp=hpbt4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>An Illinois state lawmaker\u2019s daughter has been charged in connection with a staple gun attack on one of her mother\u2019s political rivals, police said Friday. Jessica Soto and her boyfriend Bradley Fichter, both 26, of Chicago, were charged with three counts of aggravated battery in a March 6 attack on Robert Zwolinski, Reuters reported. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Stupid-Criminal.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19769\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19769\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Stupid-Criminal-300x289.jpg?resize=300%2C289\" alt=\"Stupid Criminal\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>According to the Chicago Tribune, Jessica Soto and Fichter were stapling pro-Soto campaign flyers to a building when Zwolinski and his girlfriend drove by, got out of their car and approached them. An argument then ensued. <\/b><b>Cook Couny prosecutors said Fichter punched Zwolinski in the eye and Soto joined in the squabble. Soto then allegedly used the staple gun on Zwolinski&#8217;s face. The politician suffered multiple injuries.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019ll be honest, this is a new one on me. Yes, candidates and their family members occasionally getting into fist fights is not news. Trying to staple your mother\u2019s opponent is original, I\u2019ll give you that. In any case, the stapling didn\u2019t seem to hurt Soto\u2019s mother\u2019s reelection campaign.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Zwolinski was defeated by state Rep. Cynthia Soto, D-Chicago, in a primary election for the state&#8217;s 4th District Tuesday. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s a good thing for Ms. Soto that Illinois is a state that frowns on the Second Amendment, and that Mr. Zwolinksi wasn\u2019t armed. I do believe trying to staple someone could be considered a threat to life and limb under the law. Now, it\u2019s coming down to who\u2019s fault it is that Zwolinski was <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><i>nailed<\/i><\/span> stapled by Ms. Soto.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Frank Avila, the couple\u2019s lawyer, accused Zwolinski of starting a fight with his clients and possibly putting a staple in his own head just for attention. He told Judge Maria Kuriakos Cecil that Zwolinksi is the one who should be facing charges.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Epic_Facepalm_by_RJTH.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15907\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15907\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Epic_Facepalm_by_RJTH-300x225.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"Epic_Facepalm_by_RJTH\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Epic_Facepalm_by_RJTH.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Epic_Facepalm_by_RJTH.jpg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Epic_Facepalm_by_RJTH.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, nice try.
