‘Christian’ Evangelist Urges Fathers To Shoot Any Trans People Who Show Up In Bathrooms

http://www.liberalamerica.org/2016/05/31/christian-evangelist-urges-fathers-shoot-trans-people-show-bathrooms/

Perhaps you’ve heard of James Dobson. He’s the founder and president of a right-wing group known as Focus on the Family, and he’s also a massive heap of human excrement who has attacked President Obama in his sermons, alleging the President is a “tyrant (who) assault(s) centuries of modesty and moral beliefs.”

In a new article Dobson wrote for the extremist website World Net Daily, this so-called Christian is calling on those who have daughters to take matters into their own hands and shoot any transgendered person they see in a public restroom.

Dobson begins his psychopathic online rant by recalling a memory from his childhood when he “accidentally” walked into the girl’s bathroom at school:
“I was mortified beyond belief. I sneaked back into class and looked at the floor, wondering who might have witnessed my unthinkable crime. That was decades ago, but I haven’t forgotten my humiliation. The cardinal rule is that boys and girls never entered each other’s private facilities. Never!”...

So this bloodthirsty asshole has a solution to the problem: Fathers should take the matter into their own hands and begin shooting any trans person they happen to see. Dobson writes:
“If you are a dad, I pray you will protect your little girls from men who walk in unannounced, unzip their pants and urinate in front of them. If this had happened 100 years ago, someone might have been shot. Where is today’s manhood? God help us!”


Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

confused and imbecilic. Hard to tell which of the two is the dominant percentage. It might well break at around 50-50.

"I pray you will protect your little girls from men who walk in unannounced, unzip their pants and urinate in front of them."

Okay, so I get the part about it being okay as long as you announce "I'm going to unzip my pants in front of your little girl" first. It's the unannounced ones that you can shoot.

But, and I may be a little daft here, but how would one "urinate in front of" someone in a women's room? Like, use the sink instead of a toilet?

Total guess here - don't they put toilets in stalls in women's rooms such that if you were standing and urinating, you'd necessarily be facing away from anyone else in there.

Or is there a reason that little girls stand on the backs of toilets in order for this curious arrangement to happen?

Gender specific restrooms weren't common until the 1920's.

Women's rooms have private stalls. Furthermore, transgender women look like women. Do these idiots even know anything about transgender people? I don't think they do.

But as sure as god made little green apples, you can bet that one of Dobson's more demented listeners will take his ignorant blather to heart, and someone's going to get shot.

They have a curious sort of blindness, the kind that caused the bible writers to fulminate endlessly about gay men but be utterly blind to the existence of lesbians.

He also fails to realize the average trans woman is not going to unzip anything, she's most likely dressed to the nines in a skirt and heels and perfectly coiffed and made up. She'll pop into the stall, close the door, and sit down like a lady, her skirt discreetly covering whatever she uses to do her business.

I've heard two reports so far from people I have no reason to doubt of busybodies knocking on stall doors asking if the occupant is a woman. Those fucking perverts are the ones who scare me, not the average trans woman who might be in there behind a door.

To any student of history this is really nothing new. Since Christianity was "organized: it committed atrocities and horrors beyond belief. It has a long history of burning others who questioned the established dogma including other Christians. They tried it with the Arabs but good for them the massacred thousands of Christians who tried to attack in order to rape and loot. Christianity is not only based on the most primitive superstitious beliefs, but it has also impeded and stopped scientific progress for centuries. Galileo came close to being burned alive but he was friendly with the pope so he was put under house arrest for the rest of his life. Now we have scum like Dobson, scam artists like Creflo Dollar (a good name for him), Catholic priests and little boys, and pastors being caught stealing funds and being found in motels with hookers. Religion should be banned. It not only encourages prejudice, but narrow mindedness and hypocrisy.

I don't think the shame he felt was because of his 'unthinkable crime' More likely his shame was caused by the girls laughing at him and he has had pee pee issues ever since or

And in what situation would a man be able to unzip his pants and pee in front of a young girl in a women's washroom. He's complaining about trans people using the women's

Dude Trans ladies pee sitting down and their are no urinals in women's washrooms

You think he might have noticed there were no wall mounted pissoirs in the girls washroom when he committed his unspeakable boyhood crime

I have pissed at urinals, a lot of times with other men. Number of penises seen? Not counting mine, zero.
