Victim of Brutal McDonald’s Beating Speaks Out: “Everybody at That McDonalds Sat & Watched Them Beat Me”

The fast-food chain has issued a statement about the safety of its customers being paramount, and Rosedale franchise owner Mitchell McPherson yesterday announced that employee Vernon Hackett had been fired.

Mr McPherson added that action might also be taken against other restaurant workers

While the incident remains under investigation, local police told the Baltimore Sun they were looking into whether or not there was racist motivation.

State's Attorney Scott D. Shellenberger said hate crime charges were being considered.

UK Daily Mail

So they fired him.  It's the least they could do.

I watched a video on the blaze from the victim. It was a transgender person. It doesn't change my position at all. The two women who did this are animals and the "men" who stood by and watched are just as guilty.

That is my position as well. I told McDonalds that too.

ITA! My gripe now is the outrage coming from the left, where were they the whole day that story was running, when it was just a white woman? seems to me it was posted on DU after rumors started that the person was transgender. Oh and of course I'm still asking when the black community is going to stand up to the thugs including elected blacks and say enough?

You're still using common sense, not Marxist theory.  White women are part of the oppressor structure, barely  step down from white males.  This high up on the power scale, the action of the aggressors was just "acting out," or truth to power or some other damn thing.

Transgendered are oppressed and need the protection of the state.  Whites don't.  That's the whole mindset.  Wonder what Marx would think of this?  I think he'd be appalled.

APRIL 25--The Baltimore woman charged last week with the brutal beating of a McDonald’s patron was arrested last year for assaulting a female patron following a dispute in the same restaurant, The Smoking Gun has learned.

Teonna Monae Brown, 18, was charged with two assault counts for allegedly attacking Danielle Dower, 38, last July. In October, a Baltimore County judge ruled that charges would not be further pursued against Brown, according to court records, which do not further detail that “nolle prosequi” decision.

In a handwritten police statement, Dower said that she had left the McDonald’s with her two daughters when Brown confronted her, asking “Did you call me ugly?” Though Dower said she had not, Brown “kept trying to badger us.” At one point, Dower said, the teenager “pushed me in the back.” After Dower pushed back, Brown “took her fist and threw a punch to my face.”  ...

You know something, it might not be to much longer until the mostly white liberal part of the country understands why the south had Jim Crow laws.... ....and it's gonna be funny as all get out when they start passing Jim Crow laws.

Whoe Nellie, where is the girls side of this free for all.   Was this racially motovated or simple outrage at what ever the trans was doing in the bathroom????

Why and what would stur up two young woman to attack this MAN in womans clothing ??

One girl was heard to yell, "OH, that is discusting"   No young girl should walk into a womans rest room and find a Male in there doing something disgusting.    I do not care if the man is dressed like the Queen of England had the girls been 12 or younger and beat him up, who is to say how the story would have gone.

I disagree this is raciest because the attackers were young black woman beating up a Man in the ladys room.  

 Had it been two white woman beating up a black man in the ladys room, who would have cared.

Everyone has jumped on the bandwaggon that because the girls were black and the man white.   No one knows why they were were up set yet, give us time before putting this down to raciests, Fear or revultion.

For you guys out there, say you take your 14 year old  daughter to eat somewhere, she goes to the restroom and comes out screaming and is followed by a drag queen, is there any question you would not punch out their lights first then ask questions later??

 I want to hear the girls side before I decide on why their actions were due to a black on white crime.

From one article I read yesterday, the transexual never got to the bathroom. The fight started before she got there.

Yeah, because we're all racists. 

I think we f'n cared when the black conservative was beated by SEIU thugs.

Don't pretend to know what others are thinking, Vesta. It'll help you look less stupid.

Since you are being so "open minded" about the 2 poor girls who insitgated the attack, are you also willing to listen to the views of the LGBT community about this incident?  For years they have been trying to force their "lifestyle choices" down our throats and this incident creates quite the quandry with the left who is so eager to run to the defense of minorities and people from the LGBT community when ever they are the victims of an assault.  It will be interesting to see how the left plays this hand.

you are a pure dumbass through and through

Reb if you are speaking of the gentleman selling pins, flags and bumper stickers at the rally in Madison, I saw no signs of race, the thugs would have attacked him if he were an Eskimo. These are the same people that cuss out little girls and old woman and men.  That is why we call them THUGS, BULLYS and Assholes.

I am speaking of young girls that go to a restroom, open the door and find a Man in woman's clothing doing something disgusting and cussing at them.   Where does race come in here, where is the homophobic or hate crime here???  

Sorry I see so far no race issue or any reason to attack the Man if he was just going about his business.  He HAD to be doing something to cause the girls to go off to the extent they did.  

Tell the truth if I walked in on that I would have ,if the Man was doing something disgusting, hit him between the running lights with my cane and perhaps if I had a 6 year old grand daughter with me given him a few more wallops just to keep him on the ground.

I do not care what race a pervert is, black, white, yellow or pink, this is about fearing for the safety of the kids in public restrooms. One of the girls is only 14 years old, she is a child that went nuts over what she saw   we have to ask why???

I watched the interview with the Man all dressed up in woman's clothing, damn he came across as a sweet young lass, a victim because he has this thing between his legs. She looked so sweet, so how did they know she was a HE if he did not have his stuff out doing something with it?????

So to put it bluntly Rebel, If people want to run about believing they are of a different sex, or born on Mars, that is their right, but when it comes to being in public in an area that can scare the shit out of children--
they have to expect to be stigmatised and all that comes after it.  

Everything today is blamed on race or homophobia,    Bull shit, Darn it all Rebel there are any number of crimes that have absolutely nothing to do with those two things.

Do I feel sorry for the Man beaten this side to Wendsday, Hell no, I feel sorry for the young girls that to have cause to beat the living daylights out of him.       So far that is, I must wait to hear their side of the story before I can firmly side with eather side.

[Rebel]

Hey, shortbus, you said this:

Had it been two white woman beating up a black man in the ladys room, who would have cared.

...and offered absolutely NO Damn proof to back it up. If you think we'd sit idly by and watch a black woman or man get senselessly beat by two white people and stomped and kicked while on the ground, then you're an idiot. You're essentially calling us racists without morals.

Whoa nellie is right - I didn't say a damn word about the girl's motivation, only about the motivation behind the people who were silent until it came out that the person beaten was trnsgendered.

But it was really nice of you to come along and dump multiple paragraphs about something I never even said talking about I don't know what yet still being able to mention drag queens in passing.

[Boudicca]

Wow, legally this gets messier with each step.  This could, arguably, be classified under hate crimes legislation and it will be interesting to see what comes of this.

Regardless, even if it were a male in a female restroom, the beating is waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of line for the infraction.  The fact that some people think this is acceptable does not bode well for the future. 

Agree 100%.  Wonder how many of us can claim we've NEVER resorted to using the bathroom designated for the opposite sex if we've had an emergency.  I've been forced to use a men's room a time or two due to circumstances beyond my control.  And a ladies' room has stalls for everyone, so no one's child was going to be exposed to anything indecent.  There is no excuse or mitigation for the cruelty shown to this poor person.
Vesta, again, wtf, this wasn't a cat fight.

[CG6468]

This was a racist attack, pure and simple.

[Boudicca]

All the more reason to carry a gun and KNOW how to use it. **** them. Kill them where they stand!! (That goes for any kind of that type of violence.)

Amen to that!

[vesta111]

disgusting, vesta, really.

OH Gina, have you heard the girls side of the story ????

Why is everyone wanting to believe this is a race issue.????

The girls went wayyyyyy over board in the trouncing of that Male,   I refuse to call him a MISS or woman simply because he is not, he is not Napoleon, born on Mars or what ever he wants to be, he is a he, born a he male and nothing even the surgeons scalpel can change that. He can pretend to be a woman or a toad, but he is still what he is.

I have no problem with people that believe they are a different sex, that really is no ones business but their own.   However, when in public and encountering children or people that may be homophobic, they need to know that some people in society who do not know them personally may become afraid , disgusted or violent toward them.
 
I am old school Gena, too damn old for all this PC and the do not offend others shit.   At my age I stick up for the youth that are encountering these people that believe they are other then what their body say they are.  

 I am too old to to accept the new day thinking, people are people and as long as they do scare others or do harm, let them be.   When these different people go nuts and harm others, then we have to ask ourselves  whose fault is it, theirs or the fault of others that knew the person was a time bomb.

However if MY 14 year old child with her older sister encountered a woman with a dick in a restroom, I do not think she would just shrug and ignore the cussing from them.    How would she know this man was not armed with a knife or gun, some of these HE/SHE are very dangerous, same as any man found in a Lady's room.

It's my generation my Dear, I can accept Lot's of life styles as long as they are not a threat to my grandchildren.

Girls have to know how to fight in today's world------------Mother told me Lady's do not fight---This has led to many a rape and murder by strangers that prayed on them.   Problem is they are not taught how to fight, when to fight and when to stop.

Generational thing I believe, the changes in the last 40 years have left me all so confused.  Far as the innercity Blacks, they are no different from the poor White folk that have to fight to survive.

This is culture from when the welfare rules broke up Black and White family's, turned generations into live on the system, dont get married, no responcibility to a woman  and your children.        

I have gone all around the barn on this jumped from one thing to another, however I still see no race problem or gay hate problem here.  

[Gina]

I hope you do know vesta that self defense is one thing and just pummeling someone to the point of seizure is another.  And my name is spelled Gina.  You  got it right for the first time in that post then came back to spelling it wrong again.  Spell it right please or I will be forced to refer to you as vulva.
