This is an interesting situation and I'd like to see what the gay community does, what the black community does, what the media does, what the Department of Justice does and what McDonald does (as so many of their stores have become uninterrupted islands of violence).

The American community needs to focus like a laser on how this crime is handled and how the msm and the government handles all the parties involved.

I too have stopped at McDonalds to use the restroom (sometimes I buy a drink too, sometimes not). To date I ("old," white, dudette) have not been assaulted.

Are white, religious U.S. citizens protected under the law? U.S. Attorney Eric Holder has given this some though and he shared his views with the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 25, 2011:

[excerpt] RUSH: I want you to hear this. June 25th, a week ago, Senate Judiciary Committee, Eric Holder testifying, and this is the question. "Jeff Sessions presents a hypothetical where a minister gives a sermon, quotes the Bible about homosexuality and is thereafter attacked..." You know what the media didn't pick up yet? Whether liberalism is chosen or whether you're born with it. Once they get through the fog of the Jackson death, Media Matters will get that to 'em. I'm sure they have it. It's just a matter of it hasn't penetrated the fog there at the editors' desks. Anyway, a question, hypothetical. "[A] minister gives a sermon, quotes the Bible about homosexuality, is thereafter attacked by a gay activist because of what the minister said about his religious beliefs and what Scripture says about homosexuality." Is the minister protected, is what Sessions said. Here's a portion of the answer, the testimony from Eric Holder.

HOLDER: Well, the statute would not -- would not necessarily cover that. We're talking about crimes that have a historic basis. Groups who have been targeted for violence as a result of the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, that is what this statute tends -- is designed to cover. We don't have the indication that the attack was motivated by a person's desire to strike at somebody who was in one of these protected groups. That would not be covered by the statute.

In the Leftwing conception of civil rights, legal protection and criminal prosecution, the actual criminal act is never the question. In their world of protected classes and unequal justice, it never is.

In this case, all rides on one question:

Does gender delusions trump violent racial entitlements?

My sister has gotten this her entire life," Matty Polis said...... hasn't had a job or stable place to stay for the past two years, according to her mother, Angela Thomas.

There are consquences to the choices we make and path we choose to follow. Apparently he has made his choices and sunk his own boat for doing so. As for the crime against him...the gals should be prosecuted for assult like any other crime of this nature.

Yes, the ‘bottom line’ solution will be very interesting.
There is a lot of reference in the comments about the employees.
I am pretty sure the McDonalds (and other such places) try to encourage their help to NOT intervene in such cases. Especially when you figure how many minors are involved.
Now, those that were able and didn’t call 911 should be dealt with and the guy(?) who ‘filmed’ it should be gone.
I am 70+ and would be hard set to try to intervene EVEN if I was packing, as in some areas, I would get a lot more attention for my ‘piece’ than the combatants would, once the cops got there.
And yes, if I were the ‘victim’, I would have no problem defending myself.

On the other hand, it is very hard (almost impossible) while sitting at a keyboard on a Sunday early PM and saying what you will or wont do.

Each situation would be handled dependent upon the prevailing circumstances.

Use a cellphone?

If so, you are using technology designed by a transgendered person, Sophie Wilson

From Wikipedia

Sophie Wilson is a British computer scientist. She is known for designing the Acorn Micro-Computer, the first of a long line of computers sold by Acorn Computers Ltd.

Life and career

Wilson was educated at Cambridge University. In 1978, she designed the Acorn Micro-Computer, the first of a long line of computers sold by Acorn Computers Ltd.

In 1981, Wilson extended the Acorn Atom's BASIC programming language dialect into an improved version for the Acorn Proton, a microcomputer that enabled Acorn to win the contract with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for their ambitious computer education project, whereupon the Proton became the BBC Micro and its BASIC was developed into BBC BASIC. In 1983, she designed the instruction set for one of the first RISC processors, the Acorn RISC Machine (ARM), later to become one of the most successful IP-cores (i.e., a licenced CPU core) of the 1990s and 2000s.

Wilson designed Acorn Replay, the video architecture for Acorn machines. This included the operating system extensions for video access as well as the codecs themselves, optimised to run high frame rate video on ARM CPUs from the ARM 2 onwards.

Wilson was a member of the board of the technology and games company Eidos plc, which bought and created Eidos Interactive, for the years following its flotation in 1990, and was a consultant to ARM Ltd when it was split off from Acorn in 1990.

Wilson is transgender and was born Roger Wilson.

--------------------------------------------------
I suppose that some freepers are of the opinion that Sophie Wilson is just another degenerate, deserving of a beatdown for using the ladies room?

The threads about this awful incident are not Free Republic's finest hour... many of the comments are disgraceful.
