Dallas transgender woman brutally beaten in broad daylight

DALLAS (AP) — Police canvassed a Dallas neighborhood during the weekend in search of anyone who may have witnessed the brutal beating of a transgender woman in an attack that happened in broad daylight in front of a crowd of people and that was caught on cellphone video.

Detectives were seeking clues in hopes of identifying the woman’s assailant or assailants, police said in a statement.
=============================================
They could just look for guys wearing MAGA hats but in TX they don't have enough room in the jails for all they would find. Consider the irony.

MAGA hats? In a black neighborhood, among a crowd of blacks, showing a black assailant beating up a black trans of some sort? You see it as one of just so-many MAGA hatted Trump supporters, do you?

Perhaps you confused the word irony with that of idiocy?

You're the one bashing The United States and her citizens. I'm suggesting before you do, you should stop and realize there are countries that execute gays, by law.

I am bashing US and its citizens?

No, you did not get it!

I am bashing people who support ideas which have nothing to do with the US values, such as people who promote intolerance, including intolerance against US Muslim citizens and gays!

Guys wearing MAGA hats would probably have stepping in and defeated the lady. Or maybe SHE was wearing MAGA gear and got attacked by a gang of roving loony libs. :cool:

So you are unwilling to answer the question, noted. Are transgenders a protected species? Are all assaults on transgenders motivated by prejudice and bigotry as the only possible cause? This thread has already failed on assumptions once, may as well go for broke.

You mean your question about the potential of getting one's ass beat for saying something stupid? I answered it. By asking if you were speaking from experience. Because it would seem to me that you might've already tested that hypothesis.

How the **** do you take a video of a bunch of black men beating a transgendered person down and then start trying to tie in Trump? I mean...are you THAT ****ing dishonest?

President Trump inspired black folks to kick the **** out of transgender? :lamo

Ironically...the OP is one of the first leftists to start shrieking about Trump and dishonesty.

And I notice he isnt alone in this thread.

Christians don't call for our execution. At least most of them don't. We must count our blessings. Benedicamus Domino

I'm sure many things seem many ways to you that are simply not so. Have any info on why this beating happened?
 
In urban Democrat run cities a person needs to remember that if you are the victim of a crime, you must declare you are gay or trans and that was the motive of the crime.

The article states it happened after a minor traffic accident. Assuming that minor accident wasn't her running over the guys kid what justification would you think there is for that kind of beat down?

Maybe road rage? That's more common than just assuming bigotry, after all the attackers were not white.

In a case of road rage the bystanders do not join the fights. They try to end it.

Also, prejudice against gays exists in all types of demographics, including Blacks!

Texas? I lived in Detroit during part of the 1960's, and grew up in Flint, and saw much worse in both places. As a matter of fact, Michigan can kiss my ass. I love Texas. Also, I didn't happen to see a MAGA hat on that black guy. Geez.

I see zero evidence of sexuality being a motive, in fact the accident strongly suggests that is the motive. Did anyone shout any anti gay slurs or anything?
 
I used to live in San Antonio. As a gay man I can tell you some folks down there are not as accepting as other parts of the USA. Just my personal experience, I could tell you a few stories of some good ol Texan boys, but you get the jist.

From the OP

A purported video of the attack posted on Facebook shows a man in a white shirt viciously beating the woman, apparently into unconsciousness, while the crowd looks on and homophobic slurs are shouted.

From what I could see neither was the victim. Not to mention, road rage is hardly a reason to start pounding someone until they're unconscious. At least by my upbringing.

Texas was among the last states to decriminalize sexuality in 2003 and only because it was forced by the Supreme Court

Lawrence v. Texas - Wikipedia

Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003),[1] is a landmark civil rights case by the United States Supreme Court. The Court struck down the sodomy law in Texas in a 6–3 decision and, by extension, invalidated sodomy laws in 13 other states,

And that has what precisely to do with a gang of black men beating a transgendered person?

From the looks of the person being beaten? If I had absolutely no other information other than watching the video, what I would deduct is a large black man is beating on a black woman while those on the side are throwing in their own kicks. A group of other women then appear to get involved and stop the attack. So erasing the transgender part does that make it any better? Not imo.
