A Maryland librarian is facing hate crime charges after police say he admitted to vandalizing two libraries in Prince George’s County last week.

It happened at the Greenbelt library last Thursday, and at the New Carrollton library Saturday. In both cases, the word “Groomer” was spray painted across entrances to the building.

June is Pride Month and last week D.C. celebrated Capital Pride Week.

Police arrested Charles Sutherland, 30, of Takoma Park, Wednesday night. Sutherland is a librarian himself, working at Northview Elementary in Bowie. Prince George’s County Public Schools System says he is now on administrative leave.

In a statement Thursday, Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy said anyone who “violates the right of another individual to live freely will be appropriately charged and prosecuted by my office.”

I'm hoping authorities looked at his browser history.

2. He RESIDES in Takoma Park, which is NOT in Price George's County, but rather Montgomery County.

Jamie Raskin resides in Takoma Park.

7. Former 35-years-working here

There are some uber-weird library workers. And passive-agressive

[gratuitous]

8. Fair sentence

He has to clean the spray paint off the walls, and do a good job of it. Like, so you can't tell that's where he paraded his ignorance.

Then, for the next six months, he has to sit in the entryway of the library where the patrons pass by him. Any patron can then demand, "What is wrong with you?" and he'd better have a goddam good answer.

11. Hey buddy Hillsdale Public Library in Mi. is looking for someone

like you as library director. The Hillsdale College Nazis drove the librarian to resign because she had books for everyone. Also had safe spaces for kids and did an hour each week for mental health. One of the things they thought kids shouldn't learn about was 2020 election. Gee I wonder why?
