When You Stir Up Hate…

You don’t know where it will flow. You have no control over the mob mentality because hate know no boundaries.

A dad has been beaten up for taking his 5-year-old daughter into a men’s room in Walmart to pee.

Christopher Adams, a father of two, took his son, Kyler, 7, and his daughter, Emery, 5, into the men’s room at his local Walmart.

The father says his family went shopping on Sunday, and that he took the kids into the restroom when they needed to pee.

Speaking to KSL-TV, Adams says he was met with confrontation by a man who said he thought Emery should not have been allowed into a men’s bathroom.

“This guy walks in and goes to the bathroom, the urinal,” Adams said.

“Then he just, like, turns to me and starts freaking out, dropping the F-bomb — and what he was freaking out about was that my daughter was in the men’s bathroom.”

Saying the man said it was “inappropriate” for the girl to be in the restroom, Adams said he tried to get his kids out of the man’s way.

But before they could leave, the man beat-up Adams, punching him as he turned away, bruising his eye.
First there is a double standard, a woman who brings a little boy into the women’s bathroom doesn’t have any problems but when a man brings in a little girl to the men’s bathroom many people think the worst.

Then there is all the hate being generated against trans people using the bathroom of their gender identity. Awhile back a woman was attacked in another Walmart then it was a Walmart in Danbury Connecticut.
The attack comes amid a national battle over trans bathroom rights, with several states having passed laws to limit trans people to the bathroom corresponding with their birth gender.

More than a million people people have joined a boycott of the superstore in recent weeks led by far-right anti-LGBT groups, after the store confirmed that transgender people were able to use their preferred bathroom.

It comes after Target confirmed it “welcomes transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.”

A number of protesters have taken to disrupting Target stores directly – with one man sparking a lockdown in Illinois, while in another incident a woman waved a Bible while warning customers “the devil will rape your children”.
When you stir up hate it bring out those who are looking for a place to direct their hate, it give them permission to vent their hate. We see it in North Carolina where reports of violence and harassment against people who don’t fit the stereotypical image of a binary gender.
