McDonald's Beating Victim Speaks Out-- Culprits Arrested /
Two girls, 14 and 18, were arrested on Sunday in Baltimore for the beating of a transgender woman in a Baltimore McDonald's franchise. The two young ladies were filmed dragging, kicking and punching a transgender woman identified as Chrissy Polis while a McDonald's employee filmed the entire incident. The footage was so horrific that celebrities like Amber Rose took to their Twitters, denouncing the beating. Take a look at this video--the victim finally speaks out.
The Catch: If you don't follow politics, let me school you for a second. In 2009, President Obama along with the 111th Congress made it a federal offense to initiate or participate in a hate crime, and because this beat down was so brutal, Baltimore authorities are seeking to bring hate crime charges against the two perpetrators. If convicted, one of the girls would be charged as a juvenile, the other, unfortunately, would be charged as an adult and subjected to a federal punishment. Ouch!
