Rally Planned to Condemn McDonald's Beating of Transgener (sic) Woman
The Baltimore Sun ^ | Sunday, April 24, 2011 | Jamie Smith Hopkins

Posted on 04/24/2011 1:38:25 PM PDT by kristinn

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.

SNIP

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.

After posters on this thread commented on the poorly worded headline and the misspelling of transgender, I emailed the author. Her response is below, my email is below that (names have been changed to protect the guilty :)

Oh dear – thanks for the heads up. (I was out on assignment and didn’t see the headline.)
I forwarded your email to an editor in hopes that it can be fixed.

Hi,

Who writes your headlines?

Rally planned to condemn McDonald's beating of transgender woman

An entity named McDonald beat up a transgendered woman?  I thought it was some black kids.

How about, Rally planned to condemn beating of transgender woman at McDonald's.

upchuck

PS - Somebody fixed the spelling of transgender. Originally it was spelled Transgener.

You know, you can be surgically altered below the belt and NOBODY WILL KNOW.

This dude still looks to be taller and stronger than the girls ~

“Polis, who said she had a sex-change operation to become a woman, said this isn’t the first time that she’s been picked on physically because of her sexual identity. She said she’s been subjected to beatings and even sexual assaults.”

—— just for the record ——

I think they get a hall pass into the ladies room once the transformation takes place. I don’t want a gay man with woman parts in the men’s room.

—— Also: for the record ——

“She said she was approached by one of the girls, who accused her of ‘looking at my man’.”

This is a fascinating case of who has more rights in the special rights liberal democratic side of things, and I think the facts are important. Nothing was in the police report or in statements publicly about it being about the bathroom anyway.

Women's footwear just doesn't do the job when you've got a head to kick. They didn't even stomp him correctly ~ and the worst they had were their heels. Didn't see them chonking in there.

There's a reason we don't often see young women showing up as other than victims in beatings.

Regardless of what this person is, regardless if he/she had a record or was intoxicated, he/she is still a human being. (granted, a confused human being.)
These animals beat this person because he/she was white.
They saw a weak looking white person to gang up on and vent their rage.
When they discovered the victim was a transexual, they started with the ‘dude in the ladie’s restroom’ bit.
(The family states the victim had had an operation to remove his male parts. Just where is the victim supposed to use the restroom?)
From all reports, he/she was outside the restroom when they spit in his/her face and started to beat him/her.
Another case of black rage/hate against whites.

The animals who beat this person should be jailed. All the McDonalds employees who stood around and did nothing during this savage attack should be fired.

I hope the victim sues McDonald’s for every penny they have!!

That is up there with the childish, “whores for trump”, story someone came up with, I tried to buy a t shirt but they were on back order.

From an aesthetic point of view, those two beasts outweighed this gal, err former guy, by about 50 lbs. Seems he, I mean she, was drunk as well and admitted that openly. So, in essence, two blacks beat down a drunk white girl (as they related to officers) because they were “dissed” when she checked out their man. The only one to bring up the transgender issue initially was the guy taping the thing, but he was likely made aware after the video was shot and contorted the facts for salacious details at the website he promoted it and on facebook. Just my guess on his actions. Nevertheless, it had nothing to do with bathrooms. It just so happened to be outside the bathroom when the victim was headed that way, that this occurred.

It was in the story.

There's a Burger King in West Hollywood that's very popular with MS13 types. They've engraved their name in the bottoms of the toilets.

NOBODY uses the toilets in that place except MS13.

I doubt you can find a higher density of transgendered or whatever folks in the world than in that part of West Hollywood.

How did the attackers know about the transgendering?

Is it a myth he/she was wearing an anti-obama tea shirt?

Interesting. I hadn’t heard that angle. I guess I haven’t heard WHAT set them off.

Isn’t obvious in the video it’s a guy dressed up like a girl. Don’t they have stalls in McDonald’s woman’s bathrooms?

The lady teenagers were in the ladies restroom.

Those two savage thugs were no more "ladies" than the person they beat the crap out of, in my opinion.

Had to go back and find that one ~ just something about the thread that bothered me and there it is ~ "INNER CITY".

This actually occurred in a suburb out in BALTIMORE COUNTY, a place far different than "THE BLOCK".

Baltimore City is the original home of "The Block". This ain't it. I've been to "The Block". I've even been in this place and maybe in that particular McDonalds ~ fur shur at a Mcdonalds on a street by the same name down off I95 in Montgomery County (a DC suburban area).

Think SUBURBS. Think 72% Whifolk. Think a handful of Indians (there's an authentic Indian tribe in the vicinity BTW ~ dates way back ~ way back ~ may have been among the first inhabitants of North America's East Coast in fact.

I've been trying to figure out who would be so bold as to go into a "strange" McDonalds and beat up a customer.

This may well be a scam.

Scam? Pretty good acting if a scam sans the seizure. I lived in a burb of Baltimore for a time. Wouldn’t walk my dog at night. The whole area is soiled with vermin.

"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."

Fascinating juxtaposition.

"They fought because she looked at one of their men. I guess that is a “diss” of sorts in the subhuman subcultures."
I guess they weren't taught about being tolerant to others and respective of others regardless of their religion, ethnic/national origin and/or sexual persuasion. Tolerance is for white folks only. As well as white guilt. Minorities are exempt from both criticism and the "normalizing" pressure.

Ah, yes, isn't it ~ inspired by the post that suggested that when choosing between two favored groups solutions might not readily come to mind ~ and I might add, nor might we care.

This is a suburban setting. A so-called transgender individual is in the McDonalds doing something. Two angry black females show up. There's a beat down.

In the end McDonald's management fires the one black employee there ~ he had a camera, he shot the scene, he made commentaries, ...... we wouldn't know the half of what we know about this situation without his help.

Does McDonald's managment or franchisee have any idea how this one black employee's efforts aided or delayed a solution? We might even ask if he's being scapegoated ~ but we won't since, after all, half the people who posted earlier on this thread suggested this was INNER CITY STUFF and is to be expected (I suppose).

In about two weeks we'll know more about this and it's dollars to doughnuts the picture at that time will be far different than that portrayed in this video.

What that picture will be I honestly cannot at this time imagine, but it'll be a picture ~ of something.

BTW, the seizure hasn’t been followed-up on but it was over very quickly. No doubt we’ll know more about that some time later.
