The Beachwood Police Department reported on May 2 the man checked out the hundred books from the Cuyahoga County Public Library Beachwood Branch, and posted a video of him burning the books on social media.
If your faith and beliefs are so righteous, strong, moral and important … you would never need to burn books to make others follow your convictions.
Burning books just goes to show how deranged and unbalanced your beliefs are
I wouldn’t burn a copy of Mein Kampf, unless that’s the only political point of view in the library. I’m sure that library had plenty of right-wing books and were much more popular.
Make him pay for new books, add a juicy fine to it so the library can add a new wing, an then put him behind bars for hate crimes.
I bet he’ll get a GoFundMe up and running in no time to get supported by a bunch of other whackjobs.
Maybe the damages should include all the money collected in this or similar ways.
Just following the Nazi doctrine to the book…
Libraries allow you to check out 100 books? Last time I used my card to check out books there was a limit to 10., which seemed plenty to me.
I’ve seen homeschooling moms check out dozens and dozens of kids books at once. Plus you could use multiple cards if you’re planning some grand arson demonstration, I guess.
Anybody have 100 bibles I can borrow? You’ll thank me later.
Book burning is… Not what it used to be.
It’s purely symbolic.
ln general book burning is symbolic since books are relatively cheap and plentiful.
However it’s not so symbolic when you’re destroying a library’s property, potentially trying to not only deprive patrons of knowledge but to instill fear and repression upon both the library and its patrons.
And so I assume the library will send the sketchiest bailiffs they can find to collect their fines?

All the man has to claim he supports the deportation of Jews to Israel as a solution, and all antisemitic accusations will be nullified.
