Conicted sex offender Richard McClung, known for his alleged child sexual abuse, died in a mysterious plane crash on February 14. McClung was a former Mormon church figure in Illinois and a registered sex offender who was accused of sexually abusing children. The death notice stated that the crash was likely due to a mechanical failure and mounting pressure from court filings. Bodycam video from the Civilian Office of Police Accountability shows a cop who took cover for 90 seconds after fatally shooting his partner, Krystal Rivera. The war in Iran is also affecting college campuses across Illinois, with students and faculty struggling to focus on school and their jobs due to fear of their loved ones abroad. The conflict has raised questions about the state of anti-war activism under the Trump presidency.
