You won’t hear Communist “Anti”Fascists and BLM compared to NAZIs or bookburners but here we are seeing them do it.

This is bound to happen when people that can’t read play with fire. Besides, since they had no Play Stations to loot, you can’t blame these noble rioters for being mad.

The books are burned. His shop is gone.

Leftists have a long history of burning books.

>>Author-signed copies, particularly first editions, were an Uncles specialty.

Out of print and rare books cannot be replaced.

They aren’t “this season’s Nike”.

They didn’t wait for the Rat Convention to repeat 1968.

OMG this was a national treasure.
Most of the books at Uncle Hugo’s have been out of print for 50 years.
I am stunned.

If that had been my business there would have been bodies on the floor.

The animals cannot read so why should anyone else I guess. Why animals did this and other burnings and were not shot or better melted down with flame throwers is a sin.

You have an excellent point! What were they going to do, walk off with BOOKS?

From the owner:

I’m pretty sure the insurance policy excludes damage from a civil insurrection, so I suspect I won’t get a cent for either the building or the contents.

They burned it down because they hate books. Liquor stores, on the other hand.....

All history destroyed and records of history of a free republic, free citizenry destroyed. It’s “non-essential” to a new world order. When will Lincoln be chained and dragged out of his comfy chair at his memorial?

I’ll take when EVIL overtakes the GREATEST CIVILization in history for 25 TRILLION, Alex ($oro$)

The Pol Pot arm of the Democratic party strikes. Destroy anything educational, destroy wealth.

I’m assuming they didn’t loot the bookstore before they burned it. Most of them can barely read.

Hitler burned books too.
