Police: Hygiene dispute sparks bar brawl

FORT WORTH, Texas -- A bloody brawl erupted outside a tavern after one customer thought another failed to wash his hands after using the bathroom, police said.

One man was hospitalized with stab wounds. Another was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

According to a police report, the fight broke out Thursday after Eric Jennings Kisiah, 27, became upset about a customer's apparent hygiene failure at the Tumbleweeds Sports Bar.

Witnesses told police Kisiah confronted the customer and two of his friends, calling them names, telling them they were dirty and threatening to "slash their throats."

Kisiah then hid near a shrub outside the bar and charged the group as they left, the police report said.

One of the men, 25-year-old Morgan Jackson, was stabbed four times, police said. He was listed in good condition after surgery.

Kisiah was jailed in lieu of $20,000 bail. Mansfield Jail officials declined to let a reporter speak with Kisiah or say whether he had an attorney.

A call to the bar Friday went unanswered.

Definitely a psycho. I always wash my hands because you never know what kind of anal retentive psychopathic freak you may run into.

Seriously, I can't believe it's only aggravated assault. The guy hid in a bush and ambushed the victim, with aforethought and with malice, with a knife, after threatening to do so earlier. Sounds like attempted murder to me.

Since this happened in a bar, I think the appropriate response would've been "What difference does it make, considering what you are drinking anyway?"

The court would likely make this--even though he lay in wait for them with a weapon--as a "heat of the moment" type thing. Attempted murder is likely what he'll be charged with unless he pleads out.

When the bartender puts out pretzels and peanuts, that's why you should be first to grab a handful and then eat no more after that.

Wash and dry hands only to touch a doorknob that is infested with germs. Carry hand sanitizer.

Maybe... the guy got one heck of a lucky break with this charge. Maybe there was some other extenuating circumstances the article didn't explain (i.e. perhaps he waited to confront them and they threw the first punch) but it sounds fishy. I've heard of DUI charges harsher than this...

You're supposed to use the paper towel you used to dry your hands to open the bathroom door. If they only have those hot air blowers, then use your shirt or stand and wait until someone else opens the door. :-)

I don't pee on my hands and my privates are MUCH cleaner than bar bathroom faucet handles. Heck, raw urine is cleaner than most bar bathroom faucet handles.

Get over it.

>>I always shake my head when I see someone in a restroom leave w/o washing their hands. Another good reason to try and wash your hands soon after shaking hands with someone. But, this guy needs to go to anger management class...<<

I wash my hands... but the importance of doing that depends on what I've done in the bathroom. I take a shower every morning and put on clean underwear so taking a pee doesn't actually get my hands dirty. Urine is closer to sterile than hands anyway.

Now if a guy is in bar and checking to see hwo poops and who pees then there's a bigger problem here than hand washing.

No, because Kisiah was the one advocating clean hands.

With ROP, you don't have to wash the left hand, or something.

Or just stop worrying about it, before you end up like Howard Hughes. The world is full of germ-covered surfaces - I don't worry about it.

Of all the places in the public toilet you will touch, the most coliform bacteria are the handles on the sink taps. The sink and taps are also the only areas in public restrooms where they regularly have been able to isolate enteric pathogens like Salmonella and Shigella.

I will not touch a public sink. I always carry a pocket size bottle of Germ-X for this reason.

I always wash after taking a squirt, but I never pee on my hands. My pants, well - "no matter how you shake and dance, the last drop always finds your pants".

Seriously, have we taken all this too far - to where we have depleted our immune systems? Kids used to play in the mud (I know I did). Some used to eat it. I don't remember asthma being a concern among my dirt-eating friends.

Maybe we're too "clean" and thats why we're always sick?

Actually ... and sorry to bust your bubble .... I know you were getting exited ... BUT .....

The entomology of the name "Kisiah" derived from" Keziah". She is the second daughter of Job. She and her two sisters were born after his trials. They were beautiful and inherited equally with their brothers.

The name was often used by Quakers in the 1800's as both a first and last name.

Although my guess is this guy has "fallen away" from his Quaker roots.
