Hopefully they charge him the value of each of the 100 books on top of whatever criminal charges he would get for damaging library property. That should be over $1,000 just because of the sheer amount of books.
1000 dollars? He’ll be a gofund me millionaire by the end of the month.
That, and every replaced book should have a big dedication inside, saying something like “purchased with a generous donation of Mr [this twit’s name]”
See, here’s where I disagree:
Unless there is a clarifying statement about his ass-backward mentality following the dedication, the snark will be lost to time and only the “generous donation” will remain.
I have a similar (if smaller) beef with Carnegie libraries that are just PR washing of an oligarch. His crimes are remembered in spite of his donations only because he was memorable outside of them.
Arson, too please.
Hm, I would have said it’s not arson if he did it on his own property in a safe manner. But I also don’t know if the definition of arson includes any burning of others’ property without permission, even if you were allowed to bring the property somewhere where you’re allowed to start fires…
