I know the death penalty is too harsh, but, maybe a severe beating.

I wonder who authored the books he destroyed?
Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Ted Cruz, Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, Mark Levin, Donald Trump.....

I wonder if it was this book in the children's section?
(Or, how about this "blast from the past"?)

You meet the strangest, sickest, weirdest people in a library. Worked in one for 20 years, every day was an eye opener.

It wasn’t that way till vagrancy laws were done away with. Noe one of my favorite libraries is loaded with unwashed bums sleeping there. The third floor was closed a few years back due to....BEDBUGS!

The last several times I've gone to the public library in the city closest to me, the reading section was filled with smelly, loud-mouthed oldsters who used it as a public forum to tell everybody about their personal problems.
A few of them spread themselves out prone on the couches taking naps and barring anybody else from using them. One older woman stank of urine. Nobody does anything about it. Which is why I haven't been back for a decade.

My God,bedbugs in a library,
In some areas the library is a “babysitter” where working Moms tell their kids to hang out after school——and wait until they get home from work.

Did you tear it up first?
Wasn't the author of that book (Abbie Hoffman) buds with that vile American terrorist, Bill Ayers?
