Those men among you who indulge in the woman-enraging provocation
of not putting the loo seat back down after taking a leak should
count yourselves lucky you're not in Fort Worth, Texas, where some
people take the matter of good toilet habits very seriously
indeed.
Just ask 25-year-old Morgan Jackson, who was with two drinking
buddies in the car park of the Tumbleweeds Sports Bar last Thursday
evening when an infuriated toilet user charged them with a knife
"because he apparently grew angry that one of the men didn't wash
his hands in the bathroom", as the Houston Chronicle
explains.
Indeed, so pissed off was 27-year-old Eric Jennings Kisiah that he
stabbed Jackson three times in his left torso and once in his back
with an eight-inch knife which was subsequently recovered close to
the scene of the incident.
Prior to the attack, Kisiah "confronted a group of three friends at
the bar because he was upset about one of them not washing his
hands after using the restroom", according to the police report. He
"called the men names and told them that they were dirty" before
leaving with the threat to "slash their throats", as one of the men
recounted.
When the three pals eventually left the bar, Kisiah launched his
assault from behind a shrub where he'd being lying in wait. He was
restrained by "several men" until the cops arrived.
Jackson was later reported to be in "good condition" following
surgery at a Fort Worth hospital. Kisiah was cuffed on "suspicion
of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon" and held in Mansfield
Jail with bail set at $20,000. ®
