New that Isn't!
One of the defendants in the assault on the woman (Yes, I'm quite aware that she's TG) at the McDonalds has had a previous problem with keeping her hands to herself:

One can only speculate at this point why she didn't find it inadvisable (if not immoral) to attack yet another human being. We can only hope that she is convicted along with her co-defendant for attacking this woman, and that both of them get a judge who actually understands that it's quite acceptable to incarcerate those who show no remorse for their crime. And I do so hope that Ms. Polis is successful in her suit against McDonalds. I don't for one second think that the company itself condones this horrific crime, but perhaps it may look into the dismissal of any employee that witnessed this attack and either condoned it or, worse yet, did nothing to help her.

That comment
'Did you call me ugly?'
Well, duh
Hint to attacker: perhaps, if you spent less timew in the lard factory you might not look as bad as you do. That in turn might remove some of your self-esteem issues and render you less violent. And all pigs are fuelled and ready for take off.

I wish I could say this was unbelievable, but sadly it is all too believable.
Thankfully she is alive... And hopefully these images can help shock the complacent.

Interview
The New Civil Rights Movement / The Baltimore Sun have several other articles on Chrissy's case, including an interview where she describes in her own words what happened.
Meanwhile, apparently the employee who filmed the attack has since been dismissed, but there's been no word from either the restaurant, the franchisee or McDonalds themselves on what's happening with regards to the other employees on that shift.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't...
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
Since they probably fired
Since they probably fired him more for publishing the video and getting them into hot water, as much as any other reason, I will have to wait and see what happens to the others.
But frankly every one of the people that stood by and did nothing should be up on charges.

'I could not watch the video of the assault in its' entirety as it was too horrific,but I have put my
name to the petition that Change.org are circulating world wide against McDonalds.This is a frightening
and disgusting assault and McDonalds should hang their heads in shame.I have two friends,genetic women,
who have told their children not to even think of going to a Macs to eat,so it is going to hurt the company and the franchisees. I guess that the 18 year old girl was ugly compared to the girl who was assaulted.

I just read the other comments.
And there is a large difference in the whole looks department. I'm just wondering how much that actually did play into this and other attacks?

...the fellow who filmed the assault claims she wasn't TG because she still had male parts, and that the girl got smart with everybody when told to use the male bathroom (I wasn't aware that plumbing actually had a discernible gender). As noted by others, another case of blaming the victim. And since the idiot has no clue about the whole issue of transgenderism, we'll just give him a pass for being ignorant, and just go after him for abdicating his membership in the human race, yes?

I think the saddest part of
I think the saddest part of that link is the blasted comments.
So frustrating reading so much hate.
Most of which is focused on the race of the parties involved, instead of the sheer awfulness of the event.
Where does it all end?

An odd mix there, including some 'visitors' from rather more intolerant areas.
