Denton Co. (TX) GOP Sheriff Candidate Calls for Violence Against Trans People Needing to Pee

http://www.dallasobserver.com/news/denton-county-gop-sheriff-candidate-tracy-murphree-calls-for-violence-against-transgender-people-needing-to-pee-8240131

Tracy Murphree, the GOP candidate for Denton County sheriff, posted on Facebook that he’d beat the hell out of a transgender person who tried to piss in a bathroom where Murphree’s daughter was peeing.

“This whole bathroom thing is craziness I have never seen,” Murphree wrote in an April 22 Facebook post. “All I can say is this: If my little girl is in a public women’s restroom and a man, regardless of how he may identify, goes into the bathroom, he will then identify as a John Doe until he wakes up in whatever hospital he may be taken to. Your identity does not trump my little girl's safety. I identify as an overprotective father that loves his kids and would do anything to protect them” ...

Lucky for Blake, Murphree never witnessed him entering a women's restroom occupied by his daughter, otherwise Blake might have received a righteous stomping from the man most likely to be Denton County's next chief law enforcement officer. Murphree faces Libertarian Randy Butler in November. No Democrat entered the race.

“I believe that a man in a women's restroom would constitute an immediate breach of the peace,” another supporter wrote. “You all know where I'm going with this.”

"I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'll beat someone up to celebrate my ignorance." Good on ya, Denton County.
