Beatdown of transgendered in Baltimore, MD McDonalds

Ah...I think I am beginning to see now...it's isn't about the skin color...it's a 'cultural' thing. This 'getto culture' thing...what exactly is it? It doesn't sound so much like culture but more like a really bad attitude.:hmm:

That one has to be all tough to get respect. That's the whole concept behind this culture. If you are a bad ass, you will get respect. If not, you will be dead.

Sad, isnt it?
 
The 14 year old girl admitted to police that they got into a fight with the victim over using the bathroom.

This is a hate crime, there is no other way to put it. These girls viciously beat this woman because of who she is.

This victim may have been biologically male, but was living as a woman because that is how she identified her true self. This person going to use the womens bathroom posed no threat to anyone. He identified as female, and lived as such. I see no mention anywhere about this victim doing anything to provoke the incident.

She's done exactly the same thing before, even to dragging a teenage girl across the floor.

Then for some reason the victims of that attack decided not to prosecute. Pity, because this girl needs jail, not the freedom to go on beating on people.

I'm guessing that the fact that the victim in the recent case was a transgendered woman had little or nothing to do with why the attackers beat her up. They were looking for someone to beat on, and found a smallish victim who didn't have a chance against them.

I strongly strongly agree with you everything that is bolded.

By the way, the person who filmed this got fired. And the manager at the end of the video basically told the girls, "The police is coming so you better run." Accessory?

Because lanapoo said, "And the manager at the end of the video basically told the girls, 'The police is coming so you better run.'"

That is what made me so mad...

Ooookay...so basically a really shitty attitude. Yeah...pretty pathetic. :roll:
I mean...let's see...geez...be civilized and give respect and then get respect...or be an uncivilized cretin and get treated like one. Oh wow...hard choice there.:roll:

Oh..okay. Yeah...one of many things that pissed me off with this whole thing. *sigh* Damned shame that here we are in the 21st century and too much of humanity still acts like rabid savages. :pissed:

Beachgirl, I agree with you on all points here. If this...person...(and I use the term loosely)...has done this before and gotten away with it and now she's done it again then sooner or later it'll happen again and someone will eventually get killed. I have no doubt these two..."women"...would have killed the victim if they'd been allowed to drag him/her out into the parking lot....and none of those sorry-assed losers in the Burger King would have cared. They probably would have egged it on and laughed just like they did while this person was getting beaten.

Unfortunately, though, I have not seen anyone in the media thus far call this what it is...a racially motivated hate crime. If the sitch had been reversed we would have never heard the end of it being a racially motivated hate crime. :(
 
I agree with that. You'll note the dead silence on the part of any black leaders regarding the beating.

Just now there was a piece on the news about it. (The place where it happened is just outside Baltimore, not far from here.) There was a vigil/protest sort of event this afternoon outside the McDonalds. Both blacks and whites were there; a black man with tears in his eyes was comforting the older white woman who had gone to the victim's defense. The mother of the victim was also there, and said how much she appreciated everyone's support.

Heck, I don't even bother with the make-up and the hair in a public rest room. In and out is my policy!:P

I'm on campus sometimes from 8 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. I need to freshen up during that time. :)

Oh yes...I think many have noticed the silence on the part of so-called black "leaders" about this issue. They'd been screaming for someone's head if it had been the other way around.

Is the victim alive? Anyone have any news as to whether or not the victim is going to be all right? I'm glad there were people at the restaurant protesting this insanity. I know some tranny's...and like anyone else some are nice people and some just plain suck. I've met both...but while a couple might have deserved a good smack for being obnoxious,,,I would never say any of them deserved getting beaten to the point of having a seizure or beaten to death.
 
Yes, she's alive and well, apparently, and has made statements to the police and press.

I'm double-screening (watching TV and doing stuff on the computer) and on the evening news just a little while ago, there was another story about it. The prosecutor has to decide tonight if he's going to prosecute this as a "hate crime." If so, there is another 10 years potentially added to the penalty.

I have mixed feelings about these "hate crime" penalties. To me, that seems like it's saying that one life is more valuable than another life. If you're just a regular ol' person and someone attacks you, well, maybe they get a year in jail for that. But if you're some member of a protected class, oh in that case, it's REALLY terrible that you were attacked, and the perp goes away for 10 years.

That doesn't really make sense to me, with a few, very rare exceptions (like attacks on children, for instance). An attack is an attack; a beating is a beating; a killing is a killing. The victim suffers the same.

I'm glad for any possibility of getting these girls off the streets for as long as possible; if it takes a "hate crime" determination to do it, I'm all for it, although as a philosophy, I think we should not be separating out victim status like that.
 
The victim suffers the same, but the perpetrator doesn't. That is the purpose of the hate crime penalties.
