Violence in another Mc Donalds almost kills customer

I didn't flip through the entire thread, was she transgendered? It seems weird that you would beat someone up because you thought that that person was a dude.

Yep, she is transgendered, but she is done with transition, and IMO, doesn't look like a man at all.

That would seem to be the case. The lady victim was born with male attachments. Now watch all the outraged righties' heads implode at the thought they've been supporting a "weirdo" for 23 pages!

It's ****ed up, and it's a stupid reason to beat someone to the brink of death. I think it's hard to say if there was or wasn't a racial component, but it's definitely ****ed up.

We really don't know, the best assumption is that it was caused by the attackers thought she was a man.

The attacker accused the victim of looking at her man.

Oh...if this is true then in that case many women would beat ANY bitch for doing that, black or white alike. Looks like I need to take a look at the footage.
 
they were animals, and the people who stood by and watched are disgusting.

Did they say what set off the beating? What caused it?

There was an article I read that stated it was caused by the perpetrators being unhappy that the victim used the women's bathroom even though she was really a he and that the victim was looking at/hitting on a perpetrators boyfriend.
 
The video was taken by a McDonald's employee.

Most places have policy to not get involved in situations like this both due to risk of employees and risk of possible legal liability(ie getting sued). Assuming racism is just stupid when other factors are more likely.

You support protecting McDonalds, an enormously wealthy corporation from a relatively minor amount of damages.
You don't support protecting a transgender being brutally beaten for no apparent reasons.

You have your priorities mixed up. That you're also "Very Liberal" is also ironic. Protecting corporate money, and beat the transgender, good democratic platform position.

Let me guess. Only government can protect victims. Individuals cannot, and should not? That at least would be consistent.

Who was fired. Bad press for McDonalds is a fireable offense, is why. Saying the cops are coming is a valid way to attempt to scare them off. Standing by and watching, that's strictly worse.

What was McDonalds position, they should have let the girls keep beating her so the cops could get them? WTF people. I need to see what Goshin or some of our other law enforcements types remarked on this.

Gotta agree with Mach here. If you're not willing to intervene as an employee of Mickey D's, at least you should be willing to AS A HUMAN BEING.

Sure thing. Based on the victims statement, I wonder if the whole "they were upset about him using a ladies bathroom" was completely inaccurate.

It's seeming very possible that they didn't even realize she was a he until the wig came off, after the beating had already started.

Guess we'll find out eventually.

There is a HUGE racial component to this.

Notice how the employees - all black - just give kind of a passing "help" to this girl, who is convulsing by the end of this beating. These two black females just keep returning again and again to continue the beating, while the employees just watch.

The camera operator actually warns the attackers that the police are on the way, and that they should hurry up and leave. Incredible.

It takes an older white lady to come in and offer any kind of helpful resistance.

This is a prime example of why I get so disgusted at how the racist tag is so liberally thrown at white people, and how it's almost taboo to discuss in the opposite manner. In my opinion, racism is more deeply rooted and practiced in the black community, both toward whites and Hispanics, than it is in whites.

While not a mainstream news source, there is nothing more "newsy" than actual video, and the recent trend of these attacks in fast-food restaurants, I thought, made it breaking news worthy.

Honestly, I don't see too much to indicate racism in this video. Notably, we have no idea what started this altercation whatsoever. And the way those women kept coming back at the girl, I probably would have told them to get the f**k out before the police came as well. The manager could probably have done a better job, but who knows what neighborhood this is - there are some crazy people out there and I don't blame McDonalds employees (most of whom are probably teenagers) from being nervous about getting too involved physically.

Do you blame them for taking the video instead of helping out?

Where do you get that from: "Most places have policy to not get involved in situations like this both due to risk of employees and risk of possible legal liability(ie getting sued)."? That's just a simple statement of fact, it provides neither support for or against "protecting McDonalds."

Typical, assume my stance based on yours. :shrug:

Then maybe you should clarify, because I and I believe others have construed your position as being light on the perps. Did you watch the video? There isn't any question who the perps were, and that what they did was OVERKILL for any rationale that could be fabricated.
 
actually, you could look at that 2 ways. taking the video provided evidence. that said, shame on those cowardly patrons AND employees.
 
These debates always bring out the best in people.

No, that video is certainly going to come in handy.

I only advocate that they be held legally acountable.
Advocacy of extrajudicial killings, hate crime because the perpretrators are black, etc.

I have to skim through that garbage everytime a shocking crime is posted on these forums. Apparently youre all murderuously vengeful, it gets old.
