Sometimes I say to myself, “Blake, why not work in a public library?” Sometimes the answer is clear… Knife-wielding man at library: man held a knife to his throat and threatened to kill himself this morning at the Batavia Branch of the Clermont County Public Library. Police subdued him without injury to anyone, a library official said.
Four employees and three other patrons – including a woman with a small child – were in the library at 180 S. Third St. at the time, said Dave Mezack, interim director of the 10-library system.
Please sir, not on the carpet.
“Please, sir, not on the carpet, and step away from the new books please. If you really must, I guess we can hose down the atrium afterwards, the door is right over there.”
In all seriousness, I hope the guy gets the mental health care + probable meds he clearly needs.
