Illinois library bomb threats

In August and September 2023, several public libraries in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area received bomb threats, leading to the closure of libraries and even some schools. No attacks occurred in the wake of the threats. The threats are believed to be related to a larger wave of book bannings in libraries in the United States.

## Threats

### August

The first threats came in August 2023, two months after Pritzker signed HB2789.

On August 17, 2023, an individual called in a bomb threat at the Warren-Newport Public Library in Gurnee. The library received another threat via email on August 21; the facility was evacuated on both occasions. On August 20, 2023, the Oak Park Public Library received a threat claiming that its three branches would be bombed the following day. The three buildings closed down as a precaution.

At least X libraries were targeted.

* Glenview Public Library (August 17)
* Lincolnwood Public Library (August 17)
* Oak Park Public Library (August 20)
* Park Ridge Public Library (August 17 and 20)
* Warren-Newport Public Library (August 17 and August 20)
* Wilmette Public Library (August 17 and August 20)

### September

Two separate strings of bomb threats were leveled against Chicago-area libraries on September 12 and 14, 2023. On September 12, the Harold Washington Library Center in Chicago received a threat, as well as the Aurora Public Library and Evanston Public Library. Similar threats were sent on September 14 to these libraries.

## Motive

While the motive for the threats is uncertain, many have viewed them within the context of a wave of book bannings in libraries across the United States. In June 2023, Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker signed the country's first law which prohibited the banning of books.

Marvel Comics/Threnody

**Threnody** (Melody Jacobs) is a mutant with a background shrouded in mystery. When she was first encountered by the X-Men, she was wandering the streets of Los Angeles as a homeless person with her powers coming in uncontrollable, destructive bursts.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Energy Absorption:** Threnody is empowered by necroplasm, a type of energy left over after death. She is capable of sensing certain necroplasmic energies that surround a person when they are near death or dying. Threnody was depicted as being enraptured by the scent of death and the "taste" of the energy.

* **Death Energy Manipulation:** Threnody can absorb the remaining life energies released during death and convert them into bursts of explosive plasma or to temporarily reanimate someone into a zombie under her control. She is apparently capable of creating hordes of zombies at once.
	+ **Energy Blasts**
	+ **Reanimation**
* **Resurrective Immortality:** She is able to absorb the necroplasmic energy of her own death to enable her to regenerate her body and return to life after death.

Marvel Comics/Lady Mastermind

**Lady Mastermind** (Regan Wyngarde) is one of three known children of the powerful illusionist Mastermind. Much like her half-sister Martinique, Regan is even more powerful than her father, as she has mild telepathic abilities which allow her to insert hyper-realistic images into her victim's mind. Whilst her early life is shrouded in mystery, it appears she was well aware of the existence of her sister and the fact that her father was a super-villain.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Illusion Manipulation:** Lady Mastermind possesses the mutant power to project extremely convincing and realistic illusions into the minds of others, a stronger variation of the same ability her father had. Her illusions are hypnotic, and her victims tend to accept them as fact, even when the images and scenarios they are confronted with involve sudden changes to the world around them or are inconsistent or improbable. For example, Rogue, while under Lady Mastermind's control, did not question the sudden existence of a multitude of Vargases or the random jumps in location and time she experienced. As such, the illusions can be used as an effective brainwashing tool. Lady Mastermind's illusions have been shown to persist even after she has been rendered unconscious.

Lady Mastermind's powers can also kill, as her victim's bodies respond as if her illusions are real. She confronted Viceroy with the illusion that he was drowning and, believing it to be real, he suffocated despite having no physical injuries and being in a room with sufficient oxygen. Lifeguard's body also responded in a similar way, bleeding through the pores in her back when she was under the illusion that she had been stabbed.

She can use her powers to make herself and others invisible and change others' perception of her to look like anyone she pleases. She once tricked Fuego into killing his own teammate Aguja by making the latter look like Regan.

* **Telepathy:** In addition, both Lady Mastermind and her half-sister have limited telepathic powers that enable them to read their foes' minds and make their illusions more accurate.

### Abilities

* **Hand-to-Hand Combat:** She is a skilled fighter.
UWN: Molloy mansion

The Molloy mansion was a Tudor Revival-style home at 807 North Lakeview Drive in Round Lake, Illinois. It was constructed in the 1960s by Clarence E. Molloy and was demolished in 2023.

## History

In the 1960s, Chicago insurance executive Clarence Edmund Molloy purchased a plot of land at the end of North Lakeview Drive in Round Lake, Illinois. It was on the shore of Round Lake and a nearby creek. He constructed a Tudor Revival-style mansion that was expanded several times. A black "M" was placed on the front of the home above a second-floor window, a nod to the Molloy family. Additionally, two storage garages were built across the street. According to neighbors, Molloy even wanted to construct a helipad at the property, though this did not come to fruition.

Molloy died on October 7, 2007, at the age of 84. His children inherited the property, though they were disinterested in using it. Property records show it was owned by his daughter, Megan, and her husband, William Walsh. The mansion fell into disrepair over the course of several years, and was frequently broken into and vandalized.

The home was inspected in December 2020 and deemed uninhabitable. It was officially declared abandoned the following May, and in November 2022, the Lake County Land Bank Authority took over the property. It was demolished in November 2023.

## Layout

The property, including the two garages across the street, encompassed roughly 40,000 square feet of land. The mansion had three addresses: 805, 807, and 809 North Lakeview Drive. While built as one structure, each residential unit is separate. The 805 unit included a balcony and picnic area. On the first floor was a kitchen, bedroom, and two complete bathrooms. A spiral staircase led to the second floor, which included a living room and fireplace, a bedroom, and a master bedroom with a complete bathroom.

The 807 unit was the largest of the three. It included a two car garage and a separate garage/shop. It had a fenced-off of unknown purpose. A garage opening out into the channel appears to have been a boat launch at one point.

The 809 unit appeared to a small apartment. The first floor contained a kitchen and a bathroom, along with an atrium area. The second floor contained a loft and a complete bathroom.

Around the property were ornate lampposts, picnic areas, small piers, and two gazebos. There were a number of architectural oddities, including doors that seemingly led nowhere and areas of the home that were difficult to access.

## Exploration

I explored this mansion on two occasions in September 2022, 14 months before it was demolished. It was heavily overgrown by this point. On the front door, which was locked, there were two notices from the village government stating that the property violated municipal codes and was unsafe. I was unable to explore the 807 address; the other entrance to the section was severely overgrown and dilapidated. A window on the back of the 805 address was open.
Ashbey Beasley

Beasley at an impromptu memorial for the victims of the 2022 Highland Park parade shooting.

### Occupation

Activist

**Ashbey Beasley** is an American gun control activist. She was present at the 2022 Highland Park parade shooting, and pushed for the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA) to be signed into law. She received national news coverage after appearing on news cameras shortly after the 2023 Nashville school shooting.

## Activism history

On July 4, 2022, Beasley and her 6-year-old son were attending the Independence Day parade in her hometown of Highland Park, Illinois, when shots rang out. They ran to safety and survived unscathed. It was after this attack that she became an outspoken supporter of gun control legislation. On July 27, Beasley testified in a video that was shown at a U.S. congressional hearing regarding gun manufacturers and their role in mass shootings.

In September 2022, Beasley and several other gun control activists and relatives of mass shooting victims met with Texas senator Ted Cruz, urging him to support an assault weapons ban. In November, Beasley visited Washington, D.C. in order to push legislators to sign a federal assault weapons ban. In January 2023, Beasley and other Illinois-based activists testified in front of state senators, lobbying for the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA), a weapons ban, to be signed into law. PICA was successfully passed on January 10.

### Covenant School shooting

On March 27, 2023, Beasley was visiting a relative of a mass shooting victim when she heard that a shooting had occurred at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. She arrived at the scene and approached several news reporters who were covering the attack. She explained that she had survived the Highland Park parade shooting and urged the public to call for increased gun control.

> `"Aren’t you guys tired of this? You guys sick of it? We have to do something. We all have to call our lawmakers, and we all have to make our lawmakers make change now, or this is gonna keep happening, and it’s gonna be your kid, and your kid, and your kid, and your kid next. Because it’s just a matter of time."`
> `Ashbey Beasley, March 27, 2023`

Her statements were captured on several news cameras and were broadcast widely, pushing Beasley into the national spotlight.

Rolon-Bartolomei murders

On September 16 or 17, 2023, four family members were shot dead inside their home in Romeoville, Illinois. The suspect, Nathaniel Huey Jr. was tracked down three days later near Catoosa, Oklahoma. After a police pursuit, Huey crashed his vehicle before killing his fiancée and committing suicide.

## Background

### Victims

38-year-old Alberto Rolon and 32-year-old Zoraida Bartolomei lived with their two children, 9-year-old Adriel and 7-year-old Diego, in Romeoville, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. They had moved into their Concord Avenue home in April 2023, and according to neighbors, generally kept to themselves. Police have stated there is a connection between the victims and Huey, but have not yet given any further information.

### Suspect

32-year-old Nathaniel Huey Jr. lived in Streamwood, Illinois, about 25 miles north of Romeoville. In 2017, after several DUI and battery charges, he received a court order stating he was not allowed to possess firearms. Despite this, he operated an unlicensed business called Black Bear Security, and had access to numerous weapons and protective equipment. He was engaged to 50-year-old Ermalinda Palomo, a mother of five. They had been dating for roughly eight years.

In the months preceding the murders, Palomo's daughters claimed Huey had "distanced himself" from them and reportedly displayed erratic and threatening behavior toward his fiancée.

## Murders

Between 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 16 and 6 a.m. on Sunday, September 17, 2023, Huey entered the Rolon-Bartolomei household and gunned down all four occupants. He also killed the family's three dogs.

After carrying out these murders, Huey returned home and took Palomo, who had been asleep at the time of the attack, into their car before fleeing south. Palomo's family became concerned after receiving unusual text messages from her, and reported her missing on Tuesday, September 19.

## Crash

On September 20, police in Catoosa, Oklahoma were notified that Huey's license plate was read in their jurisdiction. Officers attempted to make a traffic stop on Huey's vehicle, but he immediately fled eventually crashing into the median on Interstate 44. He shot Palomo in the head before committing suicide. By the time officers approached the vehicle, it had burst into flames.

Palomo was extricated and rushed to a nearby hospital. She died that afternoon. Her death was ruled a homicide.

*Created by the Endless from an insectoid life form, the Cravers are in the purest sense hunter-gatherers who would never have independently evolved the systems and infrastructure needed to raise crops or domesticate animals.*

*Their life cycle is based on consumption, and as such they are capable of digesting any form of plant or animal matter. As their home world is close to being consumed, they must leave in search of further nourishment.*

*For if they do not continue to expand, discover, and exploit new worlds, their society will eat itself to death. Feeding the hive is their all-consuming purpose; the notions of 'treaty', 'trade', and 'peace' do not exist....*
