Christopher Adams said his 7-year-old son, Kyler, and 5-year-old daughter, Emery, both had to use the restroom Sunday when their family went shopping at the Clinton store for blinds and storage bins, so he took them both into the men’s room, reported KSL-TV.

They were quickly confronted by a man who did not think a girl should be allowed to enter a restroom designated for men.

...

Adams tried to move his children away from the man — who then escalated the conflict.

“When I turned back around, I got sucker-punched right here,” Adams said, pointing to his bruised left eye.

The man punched Adams several more times and kicked him in the knee multiple times, until the father was able to push his attacker out of the restroom and subdue him.

...

Adams said he’s experiencing intense pain in his knee, and he may have suffered broken cartilage around his ribs.

1. WTF is wrong with this country? This attack is unconscionable.

[villager]

3. This is how we "think of the children" in the U.S.

no surprise for a country to whom climate destruction and nuclear annihilation are acceptable "policy options."

2. Maybe they shouldn't be in there because of assholes like the attacker

8. Christ on a cracker...

People really suck.

Honestly, if both my husband and I are around and our 5 year old daughter has to go to the bathroom in a public restroom, I take her. But there are times when he is alone with her, and when a child has to go, a child has to go. She's used quite a few public mens rooms in the last two years. Nobody has ever complained. If there is a urinal trough type deal, he'll check it out first and zip her quickly to a stall. Everybody was a kid once. Get over it.

This country has gone insane.
