Stuff like this is why that reddit post from that horrified library worker makes me so upset. When patrons say they want to hurt someone or make their lives hell, we need to believe them, not endure them. No one should be murdered at the library or have to witness murder at the library. I am so sorry to this man and his traumatized children. #Libraries #PublicLibraries #LibrarySafety https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/witness-tries-to-save-man-died-of-stab-wounds-in-library-attack-dies-in-his-arms/65-3918c51c-6991-4571-ac93-dd60556bfec5?fbclid=IwAR3yFEMGWIc2fBD7yJe2zXPDPgBrToxblqv4rjE3CvrnsX5lkacTkpWAKgI
