All quiet on the Western Front? I asked one of the security guards who had been involved in an incident ten minutes before.
Yes, he said but you could tell he was a little jumpy.
He and two of his mates had wrestled to the ground an ice addict who was bothering one of the patrons.
Amongst much kicking, punching and hurling of abuse, he was shoved out of the library.
I pulled out my phone to take a film. One of the guards seeing me, said: No. Put it away, mate.
So I did.
I wish it were as easy to put away some of the stuff that is out there but it isn’t. It isn’t.
Churches, schools and one’s own home were safe once upon a time. Now here in the states the best solution that some lamebrains come up with is arming teachers and priests.

I hope we never get to the stage where security staff in libraries are armed

Libraries should be places where thought and wisdom are be revered, with no nasty ignorance daring to show its face.
