Joy Cassidy, 74-Year-Old Library Terrorist, Nabbed in Mysterious Condiment Caper

• This story reminds me of the 79year Old Geaser in my community that only a year ago was investigated and pleaded guilty to destroying many out of print books held in Libraries across the U.S. Books kept in a special room and not allowed to be checked out. His crime was for his own gain. Fined $30.000 for all the distruction of a year and several months before being caught in his home town. He was a retired High School Science Teacher,etc, and was delt with very fairly by the law which I believe the Libray Terrorist of Boise will be delt with very fairly also. Whats good for the Library Gander is good for the Library Goose.

• How did this go from condiments to Sarah Palin? Corn syrup and guns don't mix. How could she not know this?

• Bozo the clown would pose a threat to Sarah Palin's campaign.

• She apparently worked for the Sarah Palin election commitee and was hired to sabotage literate types and intellectuals that might pose a threat to her campaign. It was also revealed that she was hired to knock off Katie Couric lest she prove problematic in the future.

• As a reader who has read a great deal from the library (hey no charge and i dont have them sitting around the house after i finish them) and still does, I don't understand the reason behind this as well. Maybe they took her library card away? idk but whatever caused her to do this, boy is she pissed. LOL at everyone who made me laught out loud at work!!! And yes Shrike, she kinda does look like her. But with her (i think her name was Ann something or other) being dead, this might be a unknown twin sister? or.... is this the proof that we all do have twins in the world? Just asking. Not sure of laws in other states, but in Mass, concealed weapons is any weapon that is not readily visable in plain sight. (like you see in back windows of a trucks lol) Meaning sitting out in open on car seat: still concealed until officer spots it! Go figure. Only reason i know this.. Had it happen to me, BUT I have a concealed permit!!!! Doesn't mean i didn't get hasseled and dragged out of my car at gun point! I have since stop carrying it in car, and have mace instead. Again got a concealed permit for it! Nice to have friends in police dept!

• Doesn't she look like the evil woman in The Goonies?

• I guess there is no age at which a person outgrows being a criminal or just being plain stupid.

• lololol... written with much humor, and it made me laugh... though i'm serious about my books and think the old broad has to be punished.

• This is completely unacceptable. The destruction of knowledge is one of the greatest sins a human is capable of. There are 3 billion people on this planet who cannot read or write a single word; the most basic literacy in this country is funneling into the sewer, and this dried-up old skank DARES to defile the sacred grounds of a library?! Get a rope!

• LMAO Pete as usual you were on point and funny as hell. Damn it! @ Moongrim those late fee's can be hefty! Lol. @Guzzo CT and Tomer That was so synchronized I loved it :) @ Mark you raised a good point, the whole point of a 'concealed weapons charge' kinda implies the weapon was in fact 'concealed'. And it is reported it was on the front seat. The liscense thing sure. But the gun Idk how they can charge her.

• When condiments are outlawed... Why? What was the library doing that inspired such an old bat to do such stupid things?

• Thanks for playing along.....;)

• I was gonna send you this story yesterday... I love the Mayo in the drop box... CMON FOLKS IT'S MAYO... So what? Your books will go down nice and smooth for a few weeks... Big deal..

• I bet the librarians relish their victory.

• No sweat CT. Even if they didn't catsup with her she'll probably wind up in Hellmann.

• Get real with it Mark. All of those guys are very successful authors. They rely on books to get their message out, and to pay the bills.

• She should have known that eventually that they would catsup with her. Sorry, the urge was so overwhelming. I had to.

• What kind of person vandalizes books at a Public Library to promote their own personal crusade for illiteracy? Let me guess, she's going to take the "I heard on Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity/Glenn Beck that books are poisoning and killing the America I love. I just did what any other patriot would do" defense. Makes one want to do a face-palm! Hopefully she can afford restitution in the least. Being slapped with Probation with a Mandatory Ankle-Bracelet to match Lindsy Lohan's might be a wise idea too. However, how did they get her for carrying a concealed weapon without a license when it was openly displayed on her passenger seat? I thought they could only slap you with that if you had it in your Glove Compartment/Jockey Box.
