VICTORY: McDonald's Beating Video Attacker Denied Bail!

An attacker in the McDonald's beating video that went viral has been denied bail by a Baltimore County judge. The pressure by LGBT advocacy groups to prosecute the matter as a hate crime may have had an impact; the victim is a transgendered woman, writes Gather.

Teonna Brown, 18, is being held without bail in the violent beating of Chrissy Polis, 22, a transgendered woman who lives in Baltimore.

Prosecutors are still mulling over the possibility of charging Brown and her 14-year-old accomplice with a hate crime.

The violent McDonald's beating video went viral after an employee captured the grisly attack on a cell phone while he was on duty.

The owner of the franchise said that employee has been terminated for his role in the incident.

Meanwhile, the public, especially LGBT advocacy groups, is enraged that an attack took place on what they believe was motivated by gender Identity.

The transgendered woman told police the attack was brought on after the two arrested women learned she was trying to use the female's restroom.

One witness said that a person they believe is a manager at the Rosedale, Maryland location said, "The one employee there—I think it was the manager—said to me, 'You do know that's not a woman. That's a transvestite.' And I said, 'So? She's human.'"

A rally where the McDonald’s beating took place is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. in support of transgendered rights. The fast food location closed early and placed a sign on the door that read, “In support of peace.”
