player ready...Bricks thrown through windows of a northwest suburban school prior to an appearance there by an anti-gay activist had threatening notes attached, police said today.
The bricks were thrown at Christian Liberty Academy early Saturday morning, apparently in protest of Scott Lively, an anti-gay activist, who spoke there later that night during a banquet hosted by Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality.
A note attached to one brick read, “This is just a sample of what we will do if you don’t shut down scott lively and AFTAH (expletive) scott lively Quit the homophobic (expletive)!”
Another brick had “Shut down Lively” written on it. Some school administrators also received e-mails from an anonymous person taking responsibility for the crime.
Police are continuing their investigation. They do not believe anyone broke into the school, but thoroughly swept the building Saturday, Arlington Heights Sgt. Mike Hernandez said.
Police are increasing patrols around the school, he added.
