Librarian fired for turning in kiddie porn viewer

I like to think of myself as a socially moderate person, and I think most people see themselves that way as well.
Kiddie porn kinks are another story. I'm so far to the right that neocons step aside. I wasn't real happy to read that a library fired a librarian who called 911 when she spotted a freak checking out kiddie porn on a computer...
Brenda Biesterfeld says by calling the police, she disobeyed the direction of a supervisor. The supervisor told her to make a note on the man’s library account and tell him to stop looking at the pictures. Biesterfeld felt that the authorities needed to be alerted, so she called the police anyway. When police did get involved, they found thousands of images of child pornography. 39-year-old Donnie Chrisler was arrested, and a day and a half later; Biesterfeld was out of a job.Write a note and tell him "bad boy, don't do that again." No. I don't think so. California's not this insane yet, is it?
Whoever made the firing decision needs to be out looking for a job on the grounds of astonishing stupidity. The perp, if found guilty, ought to be given some quality time with the parents of the kids whose pictures were on view, preferably with lots of sharp objects for the moms and dads, and no witnesses present.
