Victim of McDonald's beating speaks out: attack 'hate crime'
Baltimore Sun ^ | April 24, 2011 | Jill Rosen

Posted on 04/24/2011 6:31:35 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

A transgender woman beaten at a Baltimore County McDonald's spoke out on Saturday, saying that the attack was "definitely a hate crime" and that she's been afraid to go out in public ever since.

"They said, 'That's a dude, that's a dude and she's in the female bathroom,' " said Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, who said she stopped at the Rosedale restaurant to use the restroom. "They spit in my face."

A worker at the restaurant taped Monday's attack and created a graphic video that went viral last week. After the video garnered hundreds of thousands of views on websites, McDonald's issued a statement condemning the incident, and on Saturday the worker who taped the incident was fired.

The video shows two females — one of them a 14-year-old girl — repeatedly kicking and punching Polis in the head as an employee and a patron try to intervene. Others can be heard laughing, and men are seen standing idly by.

....Her twin brother, Matty Polis, who also lives in Baltimore, said it's been painful to watch her have to endure these sorts of attacks.

"My sister has gotten this her entire life," Matty Polis said. "Being the way she is, she's always had a hard time."

Polis, who was raised by her grandmother in Dundalk and Essex, graduated from Chesapeake High and hasn't had a job or stable place to stay for the past two years, according to her mother, Angela Thomas.

Polis, who is white, believes race may have also been a factor in her attack— both the assailants were black, according to the police report.

Equality Maryland has called on state Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler to step in and investigate the case as a hate crime.

And just what bathroom was he/she supposed to use?

Not a public one.

McDonalds and fights in the news the last few days.

Cleveland: McDonald's alleged 'melee' driver charged, 4-23-11

snip
There was a large crowd there for the national restaurant chain's "Hiring Day." Witnesses and police told Channel 3 that two girls started fighting with two other girls in the parking lot.

Then the McDonald's owner and the manager came out to break it up. Witnesses said one girl and her friend got into her silver Infiniti while the fight continued.

Witnesses then said the female driver in the silver Infiniti started it up and then backed up, running over the McDonald's owner and the manager and two other people. end snip

I kinda doubt, given the current system, a 14 year old will be given any real “hard time”, just because, at her age, she would instantly be “punked out”. Or the female inmate equivalent.

Can’t put her through that, can we? She’s only a child, after all.

I’m waiting to see if Holder is going to bravely hold the Black Panther to a higher standard than bending over backwards to worship whore homosexuals feigning, deceiving and predating on women and other weaker sexes via such stratagems.

I am waiting to see the pinking of the black panther, made inadequate in front of a wagging finger of a deceptive faggot and obvious pedophile type sex exploiter using provocation.

“...afraid to go out in public ever since...”

Shame, not fear, would be an appropriate reason to hide your face for a bit...

Dude, you just got whooped by a couple chicks.

Don’t include the moslems with other people.

They are going to get, and deserve, their own separate hell.

THe government is going to default pro-weakness, pro-deception and pro-homo in this. The real hate crime is the lie.

I haven’t watched the video but it brings into question how a 14 year old girl and another girl can beat up a former Dude.

He should have been able to defend himself...but perhaps he didn’t for other reasons- afraid of jail time??? looking for a lawsuit????..who knows.

Back in the late 70’s I walked through a door in a restaurant in Seoul. The door was labeled “Restroom”. As I was passing through the doorway, two young ladies were exiting the room. Inside were sinks & stalls.

“Ooops! Excuse me”, I said as I beat a hasty retreat.

Another look at the door confirmed that it read “Restroom”.

It was a “Unisex” restroom. Talk about leaving me dis-oriented!

This is black vs gay community.

Watch the msm back up and scratch dirt over this just like a cat covers one of their own steaming poops.

Watch the entitled/victimist classes wallow around in theor own tropes just like a dog rolling around in some critters dead carcass.

This is going to be good.

He should have been dressed as a man. Read my entire post. If you go for the very sad “transgendered” depravity, the I am not going to argue with you.

Clash of the PC titans. Ghetto culture vs. LGBT lunacy.

Let's settle this with a caged death match.

“Also man shoulda been able to take out 2 girls. Thats a disgrace”

In a remote Kenyan village years ago I watched the two wives of a Pokot warrior beat the snot out of him. The women there work much harder than the men and are not to be trifled with!

How different is it to hate someone to the point of violence because of their skin color or because of sexual self-image? Are handicapped people, those overweight or Muslims next?

Well said.

Because of the actions of the McDonalds’ employees during the incident, McDonalds, Inc. should pull the license for that particular restaurant and close it down. The people in that area do not deserve to have a McDonalds.

How’s that for an over-reaction? (I’m not serious.)

Also there was a Friday/Saturday shooting at McD's north of Houston. McD's has catered to a certain demographic for years, and it's coming back to bite 'em.

I for one called their corp office yesterday, and told them I was boycotting them for safety reasons.

First foremost and always, “victims” groups are progressives.

They will NOT let this “unpleasantness” divided their united front against conservatives.

And in the end, somehow this will be OUR fault.
