CHICAGO (WLS) -- A man is accused of choking an 8-year-old girl until she passed out in the bathroom of a restaurant in Chicago's South Loop.
The girl was with her mother at the Jason's Deli in the 1200-block of South Canal Street on Saturday, police said. The girl and her mother were inside the restroom separated by stalls around 1:15 p.m.
Police say 33-year-old Reese Hartstirn walked in and targeted the girl, choking her and trying to lock her in a stall. The mother heard her daughter scream and grabbed her.
Police said other people in the deli helped hold the man until officers arrived.
Jason's Deli released a statement Friday regarding the incident:
"We're blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the Chicago Police Department. Many of them are our customers and because of their connection to our deli, this unfortunate situation was handled very quickly. We're proud of how out team members responded and thankful that we have the kind of customers that are willing to lend a hand in a difficult situation. We continue to work hard every day to make every customer happy."
The girl was taken to Comer Children's Hospital, but police did not have information about her condition.

[[This is a horrible event, and has beend posted at least a half-dozen times with the same comments. But this perp was a man who looked like a man, not some tranny in drag who wouldn’t have drawn suspicion. He might have attacked the girl with or without stupid bathroom gender access nonesense.
I am not demeaning the horror of this crime or the stupidity of the entire LGBT bathroom issue, but there is nothing in this story that suggests there was anything other than evil intent in the perps mind that caused the attack.]]
Opening the door to whomever feels like going in opens the door for regular men who are rapist to go in too .
It normalizes males entering into the ladies room when they would normally be chased out.
BTW just because this one wasn’t trans means nothing . Trans men assault women also .

Not true. I can not understand, for the life of me, why no one equates this with screening Syrian refugees. I have heard more than a few "conservative" talk show hosts say that it won't prevent many molestations from happening, that a majority of pervs will do it regardless. But, much like the refugees, a lack of definition for what will and won't be permitted is a security issue, and letting one or two pervs slip through because they are emboldened is exactly the same as letting one or two terrorists slip through because they are as well. Would you like it to be your wife or daughter to be that "miniscule" statistical blip?
However, I also agree with you that is a civic issue as well.
The reason the story is directly connected to the bathroom laws is that now a man can walk into a women’s washroom and the people who witnessed it will not report it.
If they’re allowed to use women’s washrooms, anyone who speaks up when they witness it is labelled a hateful bigot. It is exactly the same as the people who suspected the San Bernadino terrorists, but didn’t speak up.
It’s true that a deviant could attack someone in the women’s washroom before this, but now they have permission to enter.
[[How could he “try to lock her in a stall” without being in the stall with her? ]]
Push her into a stall , choke her , lock the door , slide out from under the stall most likely .
Some old fashioned bathrooms have full doors on the stall and turn knobs with locks but they are rare as most turn knobs are now code violations in most areas . Push her in , choke her , turn the lock , step out and close the door.
It has always been that when a man enters a women’s restroom, there would be red flags raised and the interloper removed and charged with some offense. Now, the PTB have decided that such an event no longer raise suspicions. If you are at an establishment and a woman enters a restroom, followed by a man, you are not to be alarmed. Those few extra seconds or moments of hesitation are all that’s needed for something terrible to occur. It is a method of desensitization. A method to allow the very incidents as in Chicago to be ignored and tolerated. Had the mother NOT been in the next stall, the child would be assaulted or dead. Whether or not this incident is directly related to perverts being allowed to use any restroom, the effect is the same.
[[There has never been a problem in the past with this. Why is Obama throwing out this answer in search of a problem.
Never in my life have I seen a person so infatuated with perverts as Obama!]]
His entire agenda is to bring down the country by diving it and causing chaos .
obammy is a gay.
Sick freak
Was there a someone there? Mom in one stall and daughter in the other. Strange man, so where was the good Samaritan? So if one wasn’t there, how does one report it?
That is the question
Unless you have an armed guard outside every bathroom in America, these laws are unenforceable.
Bathroom Barry O’s legacy
You are missing the point. None of these laws require that a man dress like a woman to walk into the wrong restroom.
Any man, based solely on what he feels, can walk into anywhere.
And yes he might have walked in anyway. But the point is, before the silliness, the moment he walked in people could have attacked/restrained him. The law now allows them to get in much easier to do their bad stuff. That’s the whole point.
My private club got a notification from some queer organization that they will have to install a queer restroom in the future, so as to be put on notice. We already have one, but it has to be renamed a Job Johnny or a Job Jaynie with an appropriate sign. Of course Job Queeries will have to traverse 50’ in the winter to use it, but it IS there. Besides if we had any of those critters in the Gun Club they’d be targets.
The DemocRats are the party of perverts.
“out team members”
Are they homosexual?

The fact that some laws are unenforceable is not the point .
Opening the ladies room to whomever feels like using it because of their “feelings” opens the door for assault .
It’s like opening our borders to Islamic’s that plainly state they hate us and want to take over . Letting them in opens the door to terrorism and obnoxious grouping by TSA agents at the airport ... and terrorist attacks around the country like the Boston bombings .
Do you want your wife/daughter etc to be groped by a guard every time she needs to go to the restroom to keep her from being assaulted ? Men do not belong in the ladies room even if the “feel” they are women.
Bad laws open doors for more crime and more over reach by the government.
It’s like handing out welfare left and right encourages people not to work and encourage broken homes and single parent families . Bad laws encourage bad behavior .
Call it the obomajohn
Soon there will be armed women using the bathrooms.
You are assuming women hang out in the ladies room so they are in there TO kick him out
the problem is, without an arm guard outside the bathroom, anyone can go in at any time because nothing is stopping them.
Locks keep honest people out, guns stop the dishonest ones....
[[The DemocRats are the party of perverts.]]
They are the party of tyrants .
They encourage perversion and bad behavior because it opens the door to more government control and dependency ... in other words more tyranny .
And armed creeps as well
Criminals don’t care about breaking the law
That is what I tell the silly liberals in New Jersey who say guns should be banned, blah blah blah. I tell them the gang bangers are not going to stop carrying, only the honest law abiding citizen stop carrying. The only people carrying guns in NJ are the police and the criminal class. They don’t comprehend that the criminal class does not care about the laws (that is why they are criminals)
