I am neither white nor black, but I'm seething at the incident. The poor thing, transexual or no, being battered like that and only an elderly lady coming to her aid. Shameful and disgraceful. That dude in the blue shirt was probably 3 times the size of the 2 girls combined and could have stopped them with both his hands tied behind his back. Yet, he chose to do nothing and one can't but help feel that that was down to the race of the individual being beaten.
I hope the poor thing comes out of this unharmed. Having a seizure is not necessarily indicative of brain damage unless she suffered a stroke afterwards which I hope to God she did not. Maybe she was an epileptic patient and started having a seizure in which case, she should be fine once the moment passed. I hope she takes Mcdonalds and every single individual working there that night to court and gets their ass handed to them. CC TV should insure that the two attackers won't get away as well.
God bless the poor thing
I'm posting a link to a video that's at the top of Drudge Report this afternoon. It shows a transexual being severely beaten at a McDonald's restaurant while management, customers and the videographer watch. She has a seizure at the end of the video which probably means she has brain damage. This is a hate crime. The victim is transgender and white; the perpetrators are black. I hope the justice department goes after these monsters if the local authorities don't.

What happened was vicious and inexcusable to be sure, but there is no mention if the victim being TG in the report that you linked to. Do you have additional info?
....but there seem to be several advocacy groups on it already. The Baltimore Sun has the most current updates (online) Really horrible.

The fact that the criminals are black has nothing to do with it. There are racist, hate crime criminals in every color. This is a terrible thing to watch but lets hope the video helps convict the backwards ass peeps who did this to her.
...should definitely raise hell about this one! that's how things get done these days, heavy duty media and lawyers etc. sue mcdonalds, sue the guy shooting the video, sue the perps up the ass! the msm (main stream media) are all for hate crime laws when it means prosecuting whites harassing blacks. much less sympathetic when it comes to black on white crime. lets see what they say this time. ive heard of hate crime cases involving gays and again the msm was very sympathetic. i get the impression they don't know what they think about transgender. we'll see....meanwhile, i hope those animals get what's coming to them! out in san fran there's a group called code pink, which is basically gays/tg's promoting the right to bear arms for self protection. sounds like they should form a posse and go find those monkeys doing the beating...
This article in the Baltimore Sun is the most comprehensive news report I've found.

...except her comments on reverse racism. the govt has decided that certain groups are more equal than others, squashing some individuals in their ham-handed efforts to create equality among the races. discriminating against certain racial types in order to promote anti-discrimination isn't really justice its just power politics, imho of course. anyway i join you in your outrage at this incident, and hope this victim gets the justice she deserves.
was intended because my feeling is take the color of their skin out of the picture. I realize this opened up a can of worms. Sorry folks but my feeling is any color or person could have peformed that crime against that person. Thats my last comment on this topic.
...we don't KNOW the motivation, but it was NOT a fair fight...it was a vicious ATTACK...just don't jump to conclusions or transfer your own feelings about others who different from you or a whole race of people...just pray for her speedy recovery(physically & emotionally) and hope that justice will be served...there is already so much negative energy out there...this was prime example...no need to harbor anger and resentment towards others for the action of an ignorant few...dfk, Rachel
