Seized isn't destroyed

All due respect, but the OWS 'library seizure' of shared books does NOT belong in this section. If it does, then this article suddenly needs, like, a thousand more additions of every stupid small shared collection of books which was taken or closed. DESTRUCTION. What is wrong with you people? It wasn't even a LIBRARY. Note, if it had been in a tent (likely) and someone had torched it, then it'd probably have a place here, but that didn't happen.

Thanks.

The books were destroyed, weren't they? In an act later judged to have been unlawful. If this doesn't count as a "deliberate act of destroying a significant collection of books" I don't know what does. The number of volumes destroyed was likely higher than when the Cotton Library burned. As to their value or quality – Wikipedia isn't in the business of judging that... 2001:A62:159E:EA02:31AB:68C2:4D5A:7B2F (talk) 10:46, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
