A violent incident has taken place, and it occurred in a mailer featuring books that are for sale. One such book was deemed offensive by some, and a big apology was apparently in order:
American Booksellers Association ~
Wait, what?
Stephen L. Miller ~ "Serious violent incident"???
Donny Ferguson ~ "violent incident"
A book that says stuff you don't agree with is "violence," but torching someone's store is "speech."
It's bat-guano insane stuff like this that has even many trans allies thinking the Left are completely unbalanced.
Yeah, but ... but ... but ... the libtards assured us that they were all PEACEFUL protests!!!
Mulder’s Unapologetic Trailer Park Dispatches ~ Reduced to pretending a book is violence.
It’s embarrassing.
Friend of the Talking Bird ~ Welcome to America.
Rioters burning a pawn shop and suffocating a person inside is not violence.
Mailing a book is violence.
We’ve officially entered the Upside-Down.
Sean Davis ~ The book burners are the bad guys. Just FYI.
jimtreacher.substack.com ~ Imagine selling books for a living and not knowing what "violent" means.
Strxwmxn ~ Hyperbole is linguistic murder.
Keri Smith, Unsafe Space ~ What was the title of the supposed "anti-trans" book or do you expect us just to take your word on it, like you expect us to be happy with censorship?
Inez Stepman ~ This appears to be a reference to @AbigailShrier’s book - "Irreversible Damage." Apparently, there is “harm” from reading the title vs. the “irreversible damage” done to teen girls in the name of “transition.”
Geoffrey Miller ~ American Booksellers Association is having a craven, gutless meltdown about mentioning a book by @AbigailShrier that some woke activists don't like.
If you think the American publishing industry defends freedom of thought, you are delusional.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
