So someone could put a banned book in their neighbors little library and get them criminally charged? Like the whole point of those is so people can leave and take books.

Would be a shame if someone could just shut down neighbourhood charity like that, if this discouraged even having these libraries, if the free exchange of thoughts beyond the control of those who don't want their supremacy challenged was hamstrung like that...

Fucking assholes. This is why can't have nice things: Because someone will inevitably ruin it for others to compensate their own misery.

That's the goal. They don't want anyone to be able read, learn, see, or think about anything that is contradictes their narrative/world view. These are the death rattles of a dying ideology. (Conservative and neo-liberal)

They will become more violent and ravenous as time goes on. I just hope the science and rational thinkers win out before the conservatives and Neo-Liberals drive humanity off the cliff.

Don't worry everyone it's Utah, the LDS church will take care of everyone, after all they have a great track record of not discriminating against people /s
