Since it is already illegal to beat someone up, and the law didn’t protect this victim, passing another law to cover the situation seems redundant.

Statists believe the millennium is always one new law away.

If the victim had fought back and injured the thugs, the Left would call it a Hate Crime and would use the incident to advance their agenda.

As it turned out, the victim was not able to fight back, and the thugs went all medieval, and now the Left calls it a Hate Crime and uses the incident to advance their agenda.

[Steely Tom]

Uh-oh. It "Draws Attention."

Let me know when it "Raises Questions."

[NoKoolAidforMe]

So called ‘hate crimes’ legislation violates the constitution by affording protection for certain groups while not providing due process for all.

For what it’s worth, the victim was a man, not a woman. If you are born with a penis, you are a man regardless of whether or not you have it surgically removed.

This thread does NOT need pictures - please.

Quite the conundrum when one protected class beats down another. From what I read, the girl beat the transgender because it was flirting with her boyfriend. Seems to me the woman wouldn't have been jealous if she'd known it was a guy flirting with her boyfriend. So it's more than likely she thought he was a girl, so no hate crime, just crime.

There is no such thing as a “transgender woman”. This person is a mutilated man with serious mental problems.

This bill is not needed since there are laws against assault or attempted murder already on the books.
Gays (people of some third sex) should not get special treatment or extra laws against others for them in the name of political correctness.

transgenders are not male.....transgenders are not female...transgenders are “It’s”......self made freaks of nature

[circlecity]

This is a caucasion hate crime not a transgender hate crime. The left conveniently ignores the racial componant of the crime.

[Fido969]

Court records show that Brown was involved in a previous confrontation with a woman on July 27, 2010, at the same McDonald's on Kenwood Avenue.

Was that person a transgender?

Vicky Thoms, who was hit in the face as she stepped between Chrissy Polis and the two teens

Was that person a trandgender?

Maryland is a dump. Salisbury, MD is the seventh mopst volent city in America.

6. Most Dangerous Cities in America: Salisbury, Maryland (Pop. 28,800) Total Violent Crime Rate: 22.33 --Murder/Manslaughter: 0.07 --Forcible Rape: .69 --Robbery: 6.88 --Aggravated Assault: 14.69

Were most of those victims transgender?

Hmmm... Maybe the GLTW community is full of balony. Maybe it had nothing to do with being transgender.

[TexasRepublic]

Transgender? As in “Excuse me, while I whip this out”? Then I absolve those bitches of any crime.

If you’re a man, and some chick beats you down like that, you should have to cut off your stuff and turn it into the man authorities.

[so_real]

A man in a dress took a shellacking from two women? What did he do, sneak into the ladies room? Poor fellow. He should have sought psychiatric help for the dress thing. Now he's going to have self-confidence issues from taking a beating from a couple girls. His psychiatrist will retire well.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

For me, this has nothing to do with skin shades.

If man dressed as a woman comes skipping into the ladies room, I would be tempted to do the same thing.

A man can dress as a female monkey, but his chromosomes still prove he is a male.

The same goes with pervert women.

And yes, I know, the oldest girl already has been in trouble with the law, but I don’t know what that has to do with this pervert passing himself off as a female. What did he expect, kisses?

On another note:

For males changing their appearance, and being accepted by the CP crowd as females, is going to endanger the Olympics in the future. Wasn’t there this type of problem about this sometime recently?

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

P.S.

Now that I am thinking about it a little more, what happens when these sickos dressed as women or men go through the airport and are groped by the inspectors?

[ScoutLaw]

Trans-gender or whatever issues are irrelevant. This is a simple case of assault. Assault is illegal. The assailants were already committing an illegal act.

Laws exist as a deterrent. The question to me is, would the assailants have been more deterred if a law against assaulting this particular group was on the books? More so than for assault in general? I believe no.

Thus no new law is warranted. I hope the assailants are prosecuted, as I hope anyone who breaks the law is. Anything else just muddies the water.

Res ipsa loquitor.
