The transgender community is organizing a rally outside a Baltimore County McDonald's Monday night to condemn the severe beating of a transgender woman at the fast-food restaurant.

The rally is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the McDonald's, located at 6315 Kenwood Ave. in Rosedale.

Sandy Rawls, founding director of Trans-United, a Baltimore-based organization that works to decrease discrimination against transgender people, said nearly 100 people have indicated on a Facebook page that they will attend the rally. She said the event is intended to raise awareness of hate crimes against transgender people.

Why don’t these people rally outside of the homes of the suspects instead?

Interesting how the media blames McDonald’s as the one beating the transgender “woman”

Well, this would never occur at a Wendy's /snarc

collection of freaks all the way round

Is this transgender woman a woman or a man genetically speaking?

If the transgender woman is really a man is it necessary for the Black woman to become angry for a man looking at her man. Does that normally happen?

This is getting really confusing!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Did you see the McDonald’s employees try to stop it? Didn’t you hear one of the employees tell the perps to make a run for it because the cops had been called?

Good thing this didn't happen at King Burger.

This reminds me of a funny story from my last employer, from which I retired. One day I was really fuzy and went to the men's john to peform a function. While I was sitting on the toilet the john door opened, then I heard a very upset female vloice say, "O lordy, lordy!" and the door slammed as she ran off. To my horror I thouht I might have accidentally stumbled into the womens' john, so I carefully looked over the top of the stall and, to my great relief, observed two urinals. She was just as fuzzy as I and had blundered into the male john.

Ferals attacking pervs, what’s this world coming to?

[svcw]

Ah no. Just leave the bathroom and call the cops.

The libs will figure out away of not blaming any of the perps or the employees. They will say these kids are just lashing out because of racism. Or it’ll be McD’s fault.

[TexasCajun]

Not to excuse the attack but he's up and talking to TV interviewers

The boy does seems to be just fine, it seems.

I see a round of Monday morning interviews for the poor boy.

[stansblugrassgrl]

Funny picture.

[MsLady]

That’s what I thought until I started thinking like a liberal. Eeeee that’s kinda scary. They will figure out away of blaming the actions of the perps and employees on the white community. By saying they are all just frustrated by the racism that they have to deal with everyday.

[gitmo]

That was my thought, too.

The lady teenagers were in the ladies restroom. This was a guy in a dress who came in there.

I have yet to see a McDonalds that provides restrooms for transgender/transexual/guysindresses ~

Now these young women may have reacted in a way you don't approve of but they were within their rights to scream, holler, and repel the dude in the wrong toilet.

When we cease to allow the victims to enforce their own legal expectations of privacy and modesty we will have become the sort of totalitarian society we have long condemned.

I say the only solution to all the disputes this case has raised is to (legally) beat this guy again until he figures it out.

[familyop]

They’re disgusting. Stuff ‘em back in the closet.

[samtheman]

I understand what you’re saying, but those savages went so far over the line they couldn’t find it with the hubble telescope. You did see the video, right? They returned again and again to kick that person in the head. If someone had shot both of them on the scene my reaction would have been “good. Saved a lot of people a lot of trouble in the future.”

I’m not saying I would do that or advocate that, I’m just saying what my reaction would be.

Those two brutal savages are going to go on to commit many more evil deeds in their worthless, POS lives.

On the subject of sexual deviants in the wrong bathroom... well, that’s something we have to address with the various communists who run our state, local and federal governments.

[commonguymd]

That’s not what happened from what I read, nor is it a guy just in a dress. He was surgically transformed into a female physically, and the confrontation was because the black girls accused the victim of looking a their man - which is a diss of sorts in the subculture of the inner city I guess. I expect this misinformation to continue as folks neither read the news stories nor watch the videos, but rather just pipe and chime to sound smart on any and all threads.

[familyop]

They’re not transmissions, either. They’re preverts.

Three things wrong with that approach:

1. Tend to your own safety first. You encounter a guy in the lady's room get out of there and seek appropriate assistance (may be he's having an emergency but you really need to avoid dealing with him by yourself).

2. Could be he's a cop decked out as a lady waiting on some perv to come in there ~ where the cop can bust him. This could happen if there'd been earlier complaints like "he comes in here every day at 2PM" ~ and, most importantly

3. The verbal harassment might not get the response you expect, so back out of there unless you know him.
