Caught on Video: Naked Man Wrecks Library Bookshelves

They had quite the night there in the library at North Carolina State University in Raleigh:

According to Capt. Jon Barnwell, Campus Police found Seth Pace just after 11 p.m. without his clothes, “agitated and in an altered mental state.”

“It appears he may have been under the influence of some sort of drug,” Barnwell said.

According to Alex Stewart, a freshman in sports management, the naked man ran into the women’s restroom on the ninth floor when police arrived. Barnwell said the suspect was not aggressive toward Campus Police.

“I was passing the bookshelves and I heard all this noise. I turned and I see this white dude, butt-naked, he’s just tearing up bookshelves,” Stewart said. “It was crazy. I thought ‘Wow, is this guy crazy? Is he on drugs?’”

They man did threaten the other students he encountered.  It’s going to take a couple days to clean up the mess:

Cameron Winter, a senior in English and a library employee, said while he didn’t see the incident, he couldn’t miss the aftermath.

“It was about 1,400 [books] just from estimates,” Winter said. “He wasn’t doing it half-assed. It was all or nothing for this guy.”

    And once again instead of doing something about it the great citizens of our society all bust out their cellphone cameras to video tape it.

    If we ever get invaded we don’t have a chance. Just like was illustrated here, most of the morons in this country would be standing around videotaping and giggling instead of doing something. They’d get great footage of the country being taken over just before they were executed.

      what you said holds so much truth, but this kid doesn’t know that why he was doing it. The collectivists have constantly and for thousands of years been preaching to people to kill there minds and act of faith or instinct . He killed his reasoning mind by use of some kind of drug or flat out short circuited due to massive contradictions. Then his subconscious drove him to destroy the enemy that he has been running from his hole life; collectivist dogma manifest in thousands of books rooted in altruism.

    Cameron Winter is cited, “He wasn’t doing it half-assed.”

    Nope, he was doing this bare assed. Least the boy is not a fat ass, and much to his credit he does have literary interest.

      Troubling sign of our times: someone gets hurt, out come the cameras, someone has a problem, out comes the camera, kids start fights, throw food at fast food restaurant employees, take baths in the prep sinks, etc. just to be on camera.

      It bothers me that nit only did no one try and stop him, but not one of the camera-toting college students bothered to even ask him to stop.

      I’d like them all to be responsible for cleaning up/repairing any damaged books…

      He was just looking for the naked truth section. When in doubt, search it out yourself.

      I have to agree with another woman poster, nice butt though. ; ) I was waiting to see if they got a frontal shot to only to be covered up with that notorious black bar. Oh well, life goes on.
