Lakemoor man accused of creating homemade bomb with intent to blow up alleged sex offender

Prosecutors say a Lakemoor man created a homemade explosive device, which required the bomb squad to respond, and they believe he intended to blow up an alleged sex offender.

Savino said he went to the house on Darrell Road and was using the home for surveillance of the sex offender, Theis said. “This defendant is showing a fixation on an alleged sex offender that is supposed to live in his neighborhood. He broke into a house and used it as a surveillance post so he could watch the sex offender,” Theis said.

“There is strong evidence to support that the alleged sex offender was the target of the device in that the defendant is surveilling the home of the alleged sex offender, the explosive device was designed by the defendant with nail projectiles that would shoot out when the device was ignited, and the defendant had been at the alleged sex offenders house in the past,” Theis said.

    Sasha it’s a preverse empowerment ploy. I think that these vigilantes all feel marginalized and so seek out another group that they can marginalize. Of course that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.

    I cannot understand how being a registered offender give so much power to other people to do something. This is treading on deadly times and is surely more to come.
