Oh I see now... The media now will touch upon this being a hate crime NOT because the VICTIM WAS WHITE and the two OFFENDERS BEING BLACK... but because the victim was a queer transgender woman???? Fricken amazing... Blacks, Queers, Cross-Dressers, Homos and Carpet Munchers the media will stand up for...But not just a plain old white victim... Please keep your guns locked and loaded...One day soon the straw is going to break whitie's back!
The victim of a vicious beating at a Maryland McDonald's is a transgendered woman, according to a LGBT advocacy group that's calling for authorities to investigate the case as a hate crime.
The shocking video, which went viral on the Internet this week, shows the woman being kicked in the head by two girls at the Rosedale fast food chain as some of the staff stood by laughing.
At one point the attackers grab the victims' hair and dragged her across the floor. Responding officers who responded to Monday's attack found the 22-year-old woman apparently having a seizure.
The video was taken by McDonald's employee Vernon Hackett, according to the Smoking Gun.
A 14-year-old girl has been charged as a juvenile in connection with the attack and charges are pending against an 18-year-old.
"It does appear that the victim was a transgender woman, and she was brutalized while people stood by and watched," Lisa Polyak, vice president of the board of directors for Equality Maryland, told the Baltimore Sun.
"There's no excuse for that violence under any circumstances, but we would encourage police to investigate as a hate crime."
The police report does not give a motive for the beating, but quotes one of the alleged attackers as saying the fight was "over using a bathroom."
McDonald's condemned the attack in a statement calling it "unacceptable, disturbing and troubling." The company said it was working with local authorities to investigate the incident.

And if the woman was beaten because she was transgender and not because she was white?
If a dude is mentally ill enough to have his penis cut off. He is mentally ill. Still a he and not a she.
I don't think it is a mental illness, Stone. I have spoken, at length with some transgendered people, and they are not mentally ill or dysfunctional. It seems that there is some organic brain chemistry that is at play here. I am beginning to really understand that God created them this way for a purpose. We all have a purpose- even transgendered people. It is very complex. I have compassion for them.
Anyone who cuts off their penis is mentally ill. They are sickos.
Have you ever spoken to someone who believes they are born to the wrong gender? They are not always sickos.
Two things. I don't associate with retards and metally ill people. It is an insult to God to believe their loony tune about being born the wrong gender. They are mentally ill sickos.
It is an insult to God to believe their loony tune about being born the wrong gender. Do you think mental illness is a choice? Remember the blind man Jesus healed? What did Jesus say when asked about the sin that "caused" his blindness?
Depends on the circumstance. People who cut their penises off are weirdo freaks. Their mind isn't right. They have screwed up morals. You can give me the answer to what Jesus said about the blind man and the cause of his blindness.
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee...

They aren't plucking anything out or off because of the reasons Jesus was talking about. They are homosexuals who desire to be accepted in society as normal (they never will be though). So in the perversion that is in their mind they dress up like the opposite sex. Now in more modern times they can magnify their freakiness by having their organs mutilated.
