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.
If you search the bible carefully you'll find that God really doesn't require you to give up the ability to think.
We all have a purpose- even transgendered people. It is very complex. I have compassion for them. I makes me wonder, watching you write so much about God, how many you have steered away from Him. You are about the only person I've seen on the net who continuously presumes to know the mind of God and what He expects of us, but you totally ignore His written word in favor of your own translation. His word is very clear on the subject of gays/trangenders/homosexuals, and so on, what part did you not undertand? God did not put anyone here on earth with some 'organic brain chimistry' that tells them they are other than what they were born to be, GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES, people do when they go against their better judement, in other words, God speaking to them and telling them not to sin against Him, but in today's world, because of our stupidity, most don't hear His word anymore, and mutilate themselves anyway, sin against Gods word! These people are confused enough, they do not need us agreeing with them that God made some horrible mistake, God does not make mistakes, He's given us a Free Will to do as we please, there is a big difference in doing as you please, and doing what is right for God. Transgendered people are no different than any other sinner, they are not a special species, they are sinning against God word, and your incouragement to continue this abomination does not help them. They need your compassion, your prayers, yes, but the last thing they need is your misguided lies of what God expects of them. You would do well to take care of your own soul and see that it has not lost it's way!
