http://www.dallasobserver.com/news/denton-county-gop-sheriff-candidate-tracy-murphree-calls-for-violence-against-transgender-people-needing-to-pee-8240131Tracy Murphree, the GOP candidate for Denton County sheriff, posted on Facebook that hed beat the hell out of a transgender person who tried to piss in a bathroom where Murphrees 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 womens 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.
