(If posted already, sorry, I skimmed the prevoius pages only, but didn't notice this link.)

wow, justice is needed now as the victim speaks clearly what happened.
1/ all those Mc workers should be fired immediately
2/ the 2 big arse girls should go to jail, pay the victims injury costs, and pay for lost wages.
3/ MacDonald should also pay the victim.

That would already be in the works if she didn't have a rap sheet that included prostitution and disorderly conduct.

I agree Mcdonald's owes her some level of restitution since the employees couldn't have handled this more poorly. Not for lack of intervention, but for their juvenile response to the situation.

So prostitution deserve bashing ?
The attackers still need to go to jail.

I agree with the fact that I disagree with the fact I DO agree to disagree with the people I agree with because I DO agree with them.

If I had failed to do that (which I didn't), I'd be agreeing to disagree with the people I already agreed with, which wouldn't make sense, so therefore, I don't, which I agree with the fact that I don't disagree with.

Huh???!

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

And you're still wrong. Savoring what? Did you not see this?

She said in the very interview you quted that the incident began over someone's boyfriend speaking to her. Last time I checked fighting over a guy isn't a hate crime. You're still reading with your emotions and seeing what you wanna see. Try again.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

The authorities have concluded it is a hate crime, and I think that's all there should be said on this subject. They obviously know more about this then we do. We all can have our opinions, but the law will say otherwise.

What kind of hate crime? One article I'd read said that this was being charged as a racially-motivated hate crime. Another said that the victim was a female.

What I'm getting at is, is this third-party information or can I go to Maryland's public database and find hate crime charges on the records of both participants?

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.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

I don't think the authorities really have to say anything. They try to avoid making trials into a public circus.

And, inversed, they sometimes will release details to quell public some other website or speculation regarding a case, especially hot-button cases such as these.

I was hoping for something more solid than third-party news sites since many of them conflict with each other. They were fighting over a bathroom stall. They were fighting over a boyfriend. The victim's seizure started inside the restaurant. The victim's seizure started in the ambulance vehicle. The victim was a young girl. The victim was an older male who lives as a female. That last part is pretty much the only part that's been confirmed at this point. Those broad shoulders are a dead giveaway.

PS: Where is the boyfriend this was all over? Does his girlfriend know he hit on a tg woman? Something tells me there's A LOT about her boyfriend she doesn't know. He's either young and naive or.....

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

As I said later in the post, they'll release what they want out of respect to the victim and her family, regardless what the public thinks.

The authorities did however say they were considering this a hate crime (now what kind is not clear). So whatever details we may have had on it is not important. The police obviously know more details then what is out in the press.

Interesting, since the victim's firsthand account would suggest that it wasn't, and she of all people has the most to gain from claiming it as such. Interesting. Perhaps there's more to it than even she's telling? I dunno.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

I think I'm going to believe what she said.

Wouldn't that make the hate crime investigation unnecessary? Fighting over a boy isn't a hate crime. And assaulting a person who happens to be transgender isn't a hate crime. According to her it was just wrong place, wrong time.

Hopefully this puts more pressure on Mcdonald's to take a more procative role in the incident than simply firing the camera man. Staff needs to be trained on how to handle fights, and to say LGBT tolerance and understanding needs to be enforced would be an understatement.

 

[diamondstar]

This just prove that the world isn't on a short supply of cowards. Personally, I think the pieces of shit watching those broads brutally attack the Transgender secretly wanted to do that themselves. It's a shame that woman suffered in such a matter.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

That's speculation.

So is this

The authorities deemed it a hate crime.

So is that.

I'm sure it's been investigated, and I'm sure they interviewed witnesses.

And this.

The motive was one where the authorities deemed it a hate crime.

So is that!

And her identity (whether racial or otherwise) could have been targeted regardless whether it was over a boy.

Yeah, could've been. We're all speculating here. According to Chrissy, they were already beating her before they realized she was transgender. Who knows? I won't pretend to. Oh, and I won't insist someone else is a transphobic violence-condoning monster just for having a differing opinion.

If the rally is successful at getting McDonald's attention, hopefully it will get other fast food restaurants attention.

Considering this happened in a poor neighborhood in a part of the country that makes the news approx 3 times a year, I'm not that hopeful. Maybe if this happened in LA to a transgendered celeb, but nobody really cares about the lower class. Hell, we seem to be electing people hell-bent on destroying the lower class.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

The authorities have said they are proceeding with this as a hate crime. That's what I saw them say. Are they speculating over what they are going to charge the suspects with?

No, the confusion is due to your wording. In your haste, I imagine you shivering @ your computer hitting 'refresh' every three seconds, you in one breath referred to the investigation as on-going, in another referred to it as having been concluded. Thanks for the clarification.

It's standard procedure after an assault to interview witnesses. That's not speculation. If they haven't done that, then they aren't doing their jobs!

Police and standard procedure, especially involving LGBT-related cases, is another story for another day.

Rosedale is not a poor neighborhood. Who told you that?

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

Rosedale is not a poor neighborhood. Who told you that?

Whoops! I've misread a comment on one of the news sites, which seemed to have been written by a resident of the area. I went back and it turns out I did misread, they said violence is common but did not mention the socio-economic status of the area.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

No. I'm pretty sure there is an investigation, especially these days.

Oh, well if you're pretty sure then it's settled. After some personal experiences and some awful events here in South Carolina, I'm not ever going to assume that police will put any effort into an LGBT-related case. Unfortunately, sometimes they just don't care enough to, or don't understand the dynamics. American police have A LOT of learning to do about cases involving gay/tg people. That's actually part of my dream side-career, to travel the country hosting diversity seminars for businesses, organizations, and especially for police departments so they don't fuck things up even worse for us.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

Right. I think the police will take this very seriously. I live in Los Angeles, and they take assaults like these very seriously. YOu are in South Carolina, different part of the country. This took place near Baltimore... far different then South Carolina.

It happens all over the country. Midwest, both coasts. There are lots of untold stories of police mishandling our cases, especially when it comes to assaults, double-especially when it comes to domestic cases involving samesex partners.
