“I condemn this act, not only because it is a crime against our institutions and community, but also because it is fundamentally un-American. This nation was founded on the right to free speech and open expression, and our libraries are the embodiment of that promise."

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.

      The library getting a new wing for free and a bunch of morons parting ways with their money sounds pretty great to me, if it happened.

      They can even name the new LGBT/Jewish/black history book wing in his honor from his “generous donation” to the library, lol.
