I am deeply disappointed by the cancellation of the Drag Story Hour at the Lancaster Public Library today— I was looking forward to supporting the staff and watching children enjoy the reading and fun. I am even more disappointed in the threat of violence that caused the cancellation and the rhetoric that fed those threats. The words feeding the flame of that violence are just as dangerous as the threats themselves. We are talking about our neighbors here.
The threats that led to the cancellation of the event at the Lancaster Public Library this afternoon are deeply distressing and have no place in our community. Whoever is responsible and regardless of their motive for the terroristic threats, must be identified, apprehended, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Our County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management Agency and other County departments have been working with municipal officials and law enforcement during this situation.
