Anti-Target transphobe arrested for shackling girl in basement

Remember that a father and son were arrested for keeping a stepdaughter locked in the basement? Turns out, to no one's surprise at all, that the son is a Trump supporter who has views on the morality of Target bathroom policy:

Esten Ciboro, 27, ranted online about transgender people using the proper restrooms at Target, while police said he and his father had kept his 13-year-old step-sister from using their bathroom and shackled her at the ankle.

Ciboro, had recently posted an anti-LGBT message on Facebook. He criticized the Target retail chain for its inclusive bathroom policy allowing transgender employees and customers to use the restrooms matching their gender identity.

The post from May 4 says, “For those unaware: Target will be allowing men in the girls’ restrooms of its stores and will also allow women in the boys’ restrooms of its stores- all to support queerism and confusion.”

Via Wonkette:

Let’s take a moment and get this straight! Putting a 13-year-old girl in iron leg shackles and locking her in her basement is a very wholesome and Christlike activity, and forcing her to relieve herself in a bucket of ammonia is totally fine — BUT, letting trans people go to the bathroom in a regular bathroom that is not a bucket of ammonia supports CONFUSION. That’s what he thinks is a really big problem. And he was probably typing that out as there was a middle schooler chained up in his basement.

Esten, a Trump supporter, was also very concerned with an advertisement for Cedar Creek amusement park featuring a cartoon doing a “devil horns” hand gesture, suggesting that this means they were in league with the devil.

And, again, not concerned with the fact that he had a 13-year-old girl locked up in his basement.

Now, sure. There are psychopaths on all sides! Surely we’ve got ours as well, though I would venture to guess not as many. I am not suggesting that ALL transphobic assholes have 13-year-old girls shackled in leg irons in their basements. It’s probably only something like 30 percent. Still, it is rather fascinating that someone can so firmly believe they hold the moral high ground, and express deep concern for the well-being of the children of this world, WHEN THEY HAVE A 13-YEAR-OLD SHACKLED IN THEIR BASEMENT AND ARE MAKING HER PEE IN A BUCKET OF AMMONIA.

Some RWA Follower traits in evident:

* Authoritarian submission
* Fear
* Self-righteousness
* Hostility
* Lack of critical thinking
* "Our biggest problem" thinking
* Compartmentalized thinking
* Double standards
* Feeling empowered in groups
* Dogmatism
* Ethnocentrism
* Prejudice

To be clear, many christians do not have a majority of these traits and are not RWAF. But a very large number do and are, probably even a majority of white christians.

These two guys have gone WAY around the bend. There is no place in decent society for these two slimeballs.
