This was in my city. It was such a weird story, everyone was acting like there's absolutely nothing that could be done other than a slap on the wrist. I've actually been going to the Caliban bookstore for years and was there around August 2018, and was about to buy an old record but asked an employee about how the case was going, and they told me to get out and never come back. It's just the kind of thing that screams "this should be looked into a little more".
- dwohnitmok 6y agoWait, they blacklisted you permanently for simply asking about the case?
- quickthrower2 6y agoSounds reasonable to me, could be a reporter, private eye, or wotnot
- PascLeRasc 6y agoOh no, I've been back several times.

It’s incredible they were able to get away with it for so long, and even more so the lenience if the punishment. The library guy will feel the pain more since he is an older felon with no experience other than the library job. Caliban could survive or rebrand. I guess the fact there aren’t many rare bookstores will be their saving grace.
