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.

Sandy Rawls, founding director of Trans-United, a Baltimore-based organization that works to decrease discrimination against transgender people, said nearly 100 people have indicated on a Facebook page that they will attend the rally. She said the event is intended to raise awareness of hate crimes against transgender people.

Interesting how the media blames McDonald’s as the one beating the transgender “woman”.
So if “she” were just a girl, it would be ok that she was beaten?
And yet you are.Forget the Black/White aspect as well as the "transwhatever angle"
This was a vicious attack of human beings against another human.....TWO against one
If the savages had a problem with this individual they should have approached management and let them deal with it.
Let's keep the basics in mind here.
Too short of a notice, so ill prepared to not be there.
They should have given a couple of week’s notice so I could prepare to not be there.
This is all the corporate world’s fault for having gender specific facilities in which to void digestive byproducts... every public facility should have 3 restrooms: Men, Women, and MEH.
“Someone call Jesse and his Rainbow Colilition.”
And Dikes on Bikes should be supportive too.
He did look substantially larger than the chicks beating on him.
This might be the worst-written headline of all time. ‘McDonalds’ didn’t beat that person, their customers did.
I know I’m being a pedant, but seriously, don’t these papers have editors?
Of course you are right. I can’t help but feel some Schadenfreude over the leftist media’s quandary over not knowing how to approach this Incident Between Two Maximum Status Victims Groups.
But on the issue itself I have said already and I repeat now:
Those two “teenagers” should be tried as adults and put behind bars for many, many years.
I love the Trans United Siberia Orchestra.
McDonald’s didn’t beat him/her...2 black females did.
Indeed, this is going to be fun to watch!
I agree on the Schadenfreude but yet I'm in dismay to see how our society has devolved into such conundrum, it certainly doesn't bode well for the future.
Dear Ms Rawls,
Regarding crimes against a transgender/queer person: at what point does an ordinary crime rise to a hate crime?
Shirley there must be a difference between a plain ordinary crime and a hate crime. What is it?
If that person was “just” a male, a beating would be called for if he refused to leave the women’s rest room.
Did you see the other videos of violence at other locations that were trying to hire 50k employees?
Watch, they'll be sued for trying hiring people in a "volatile" environment.
Just guessing....
They fought because she looked at one of their men. I guess that is a “diss” of sorts in the subhuman subcultures.
All the while the store manager did nothing to stop the criminal assault. He even warned the perps that the police were on their way. Why hasn't he been charged with allowing possibly and even enabling the assault.
At a minimum McDonald's should fire his butt along with the employees on film that shouted encouragements at the perps or laughed at what the perps were doing.
