You know, I reject moral absolutism, but this is one case where I feel fine saying that this is a form of evil. It's absolutely, 100% wrong, no matter what the book is. You never, ever destroy things in a library. Period, and that even goes for stuff I'd object to in other contexts.

It's one of those things where once you cross that line, you've become something horrible.

On the whole people are so disrespectful.

Remember, it's not any being anti LGBTQ+, that would be terrible. It's about catching TOP SECRET BUT SOMEHOW COMPLETELY PUBLIC PORNOGRAPHY..

...It just happens to always involve any LGBTQ+ books and anything that discusses that sexy sexy Holocaust.

I'm pretty sure they can be count with one hand.

So the cases should go through the system quicker. They need to Amazon in a new copy and start their community service doing maintenance work.
