A theater in Des Plaines, Illinois canceled a conservative group's event after saying it has received a bombardment of threats.
The Des Plaines Theater pulled the plug on a panel discussion on reforming sex education, scheduled for early February by conservative activist group Awake Illinois.
"Awake Illinois learned the Des Plaines Theater opted to halt the contract of the 'Coalition For Kids' event originally scheduled for February 8, 2023," Awake Illinois said in a press statement. "Due to threats of physical violence directed at the venue and participants, this decision was made by Onesti Entertainment, which has no affiliation with our organization."
Shannon Adcock, founder and president of Awake Illinois, spoke to Fox News Digital about the incident.
The group drew the ire of LGBT activists over unspecified comments that sparked intense backlash, according to local outlet ABC 7. Fox News Digital has so far been unable to confirm the nature of the controversy, and Adcock claims she is unaware of any specific comments cited for the outrage.
"I think they don't like that we say, ‘groomers,’" Adcock speculated.
According to Adcock, Des Plaines Theater management told her that they received a bullet in the mail amid other death threats.
"I was really proud to be able to provide an opportunity for a forum for some positive, hopefully positive, or what I thought would be possible discussions," theater operator Ron Onesti told ABC 7.
Onesti told the local outlet that he was unaware of the politics of the event until threats began rolling in.

The message is clear: “Terrorism works”
More “mostly peaceful protest” right around the corner? The Dept. of Injustice ... I mean Justice is quick to label nothing burgers and blame “white supremacist” but never seems to worry about “mostly actual domestic terrorism”
Gutless or rainbow management?
Isn’t this a “hate” crime? SMH.
Read your Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn... get up to date. It’s like the weathermen all over again. Lockup. Why Ayers skipped that part is sort of weird.
Preach love and tolerance and diversity of opinion with threats of force and violence…this will totally promote a peaceful live and let live environment and totally won’t lead to tragic unintended consequences when the majority of mild mannered people finally get pushed too far
Reminds me of a little man with a mustache using his SA to threaten violence against Germans patronizing stores owned by Germans he didn’t like. How is it different with this Antifa bunch. The police did nothing then, too, to their shame.
And this is why they win and feel emboldened to keep pushing.
But, the way things are today, they have the event, things get violent, the public-law enforcement-courts blame the event organizer not the scum protesters.
Solzhenitsyn knew what’s up
This is counter to what the queers are always claiming that THEY are the victims. As more of this goes on, fewer people will care about the fake homosexual persecution claims. You can cry wolf only so many times.
How do you pronounce "Des Moines"? Da Moin
How do you pronounce "Des Plaines"? Da Plane, Da Plane!
is that not terrorism???
turn it into the DHS
They were never the victims.
They got homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses by the American Psychiatric Association by terrorist acts against members of the APA.

He also liked to use sexual deviants as foot soldiers. Then he killed most of them when he got into power.
And this madman murdered six million Jews in the Holocaust.
And plunged most of Europe into a world war, along with Japan.
