Austin Whaley may be barred from saying one word but he is luckier than Tyree Carter who is barred from all libraries anywhere in the world. In Racine, Wisconsin, Carter has been accused of engaging in lewd behavior in a library. He has been ordered to stay out of “all the libraries on the face of the earth.”
Carter was accused of masturbating in the Racine Public Library last week. Police say that he apologized to them, though I am not sure what such an apology would include in the way of an explanation.
The limitation was included as part of his bond agreement. It struck me as a bit off since there is no indication that it is the presence of books or the library itself that caused such misconduct. I guess a ban on masturbating in public generally is implied in the bond.

Makes the pages stiff… He might have a career in the legislature after all…
So this guy likes to ring his bell in public, while wringing his clapper in public.
I suggest the judge order him to carry a modified version of the clapper, (that is, to my amazement, still being advertised on tv). The clap on part will be disabled. The meme would now be ” Clap off, Clap Clap, Clap off”
He should also receive a stiff sentence of solitary bedroom confinement …while stiff.
This fellow needs a shrink, or stay shrunk.
Wow. The judge in Racine has an amazing jurisdiction!
raff,
Not only that, but he’s totally neglected that he’s shoveled this problem off on to already struggling book stores.
i guess this is what you call a passion for books.
Jonathan,
Your link to the NY Daily News article doesn’t work. Here’s the correct link:

Gene,
I didn’t think of where this fine gentlemen will ply(sp?) his trade next!!
Quite the Book Worm
For some reason this reminded me of an inscription on the roadway at Ephesus.

The inscription has a picture of a footprint and a woman wearing a head dress and is translated to read “Turn left at the crossroad where you can buy a woman’s love.” (The brothel) Turning right, you would find the Library.
Maybe this is just a case of bad navigation skills, not manual dexterity
Look out Borders …
Dredd, He’s already put Borders out of biz. Maybe someone should just buy him a kindle.
I have to comment on this. Unfortunately. I have a Racine library card, but I’ve never seen that kind of behavior there.
as long as he apologizes then they should all shake hands and go home.
Just cut it off and let the poor idiot read. But seriously, Wisconsin doesn’t have jurisdiction around the world and I highly doubt that the FBI, or it’s breather or it’s counterparts have enough interest in this moron to follow him around the world making sure that he doesn’t go in to a library around the world. But if he does happen to repeat this pathetic behavior in the wrong country, he just might have it cut off.

A good book stimulates my imagination, too, but … hey!
